Celtic Supporters Ltd issue strong response to digital AGM rumours

Celtic Supporters Ltd has pushed back against speculation that Celtic plc could hold its upcoming Annual General Meeting entirely digitally. Rumors of a remote meeting were initially shared by Frank McAvennie ahead of next month's gathering. In response, the shareholder group stated on X that company law requires an in-person venue and that moving to a virtual-only format would require a 75 percent shareholder vote to alter company articles.

The speculation follows a chaotic AGM last year, which chairman Peter Lawwell adjourned amid intense protests from shareholders. That meeting collapsed without a planned Q&A following a controversial speech by Ross Desmond. Tensions between the Celtic board and supporters remain elevated, highlighted by recent protests targeting major shareholder Dermot Desmond.
