Our voting intentions for the 1st December GM and AGM are published in full, with our reasons: https://t.co/80Gv4oKGal

Less than a handful of members have told us they disagree. We hear their comments and we would rather explain it face to face than argue about it on here.
Our membership has increased in the past 48 hours, which is great news.

We will be holding an online members' meeting, dates to be confirmed, look out for posts on the date and times.

The directors will set out the reasoning on every resolution and take every question. Members will get the joining details by email.

Two things do not change.

Your vote is yours. Appoint Brian McLaughlin as your proxy and direct your vote on any resolution, and we will cast it exactly as you instruct.

The deadlines. Broker or platform: instruct them by Friday 20th November.

Your own form: by Monday 23rd November.

We will let others win the shouting matches. We are here to win the war.

Anger fights battles. Strategy wins wars

[Celtic Supporters Ltd @celticCSL]

There's a lot of noise right now. We understand why. Supporters are frustrated, and frustration is loud.

But noise doesn't change a board. Shareholders do.

So that's where we've put our time. We published the Green & White Paper, which scores Celtic's governance at 1.2 out of 5 against a peer average of 4.1. We've tabled a resolution at the AGM. We're working with the Takeover Panel. None of it trends on a Saturday night. All of it goes on the record, and a board has to answer to it.

Shouting has had years. How has that worked out?

We would rather be judged on what we do than on how loud we are. Change at a listed company is slow, procedural and unglamorous. It's also the only kind that sticks.

If you want a vote that counts, join us. https://t.co/wc3LbVZ2HX

All members are equal and none are more equal than others. Members decide who their directors are and how ⁦@celticCSL⁩ shares vote. Matthew 7 : 15:20

[Celtic Supporters Ltd @celticCSL]

Own Celtic shares? The General Meeting and AGM are on Tuesday 1 December at Celtic Park, and you do not need to be a CSL member to have your vote counted.

We have published how we will vote on all 19 resolutions, with our reasons:
https://t.co/80Gv4oLdZT

The main calls:

Resolution 15 is ours. It asks the board to appoint Georgeson, through Computershare, to trace shareholders Celtic has lost touch with and reunite them with their shares. The board backs it unanimously. We vote FOR.

Resolutions 16 and 17, a published 3 to 5 year strategic plan and a full review of security operations at Celtic Park. The board recommends against both. We vote FOR. A published plan is the case we made in the Celtic Paradox paper.

GM Resolution 1, the new Articles: AGAINST. As drafted, the Chair could adjourn and restart the meeting by any medium, with no guarantee of live questions. Fix that and we support it.

Directors: we withhold on Dermot Desmond and James Mark Keane over their committee roles. FOR the rest.

If you hold ordinary or CPO shares, you can appoint Brian McLaughlin as your proxy on Celtic's own forms, online or by post. It is free.

There is one form for the GM and one for the AGM, so make both appointments, then tell us so your vote is counted. You can direct your own vote on any resolution and still attend on the day.

Shares with a broker or platform: instruct them by Friday 20th November.

Your own form: by Monday 23rd November.

@Graeme_McGarry Of what relevance to the shareholder base of Celtic are these three resolutions, that merit an article? CSL have got their Res not only on the AGM pape, but also got the board to support it meaning it passes.

That’s a story, the others are noise..

[Brian @BmacTank]

@BoardOfPeace Is this a parody account??? Jesus Christ almighty.

[Brian @BmacTank]

@TheCelticTrust It is also wise to ask how they plan to behave

[Celtic Supporters Ltd @celticCSL]

Celtic shareholders: give your proxy to Brian McLaughlin of CSL for both meetings on 1 December.

Celtic has two meetings on 1 December:
General Meeting, 9.30am
AGM, 12 noon

Each needs its own proxy. If you hold Celtic shares, one appointment for each meeting puts your vote behind supporter-shareholders, and behind Resolution 15, CSL's resolution to reunite shareholders with lost shares, which the Celtic board now backs.

If you hold your own certificate:
1Go to https://t.co/1ooGK57Ucs

2Use your SRN, your PIN and the
Control Number for the General Meeting

3In the proxy box, type Brian McLaughlin. Not CSL, not Celtic Supporters Limited.

4Leave For / Against / Withheld blank so Brian can vote for you.

5Submit, then repeat with your second Control Number for the AGM.

6Forward the confirmation email to [email protected]. Check your junk folder for it.

If you hold through a platform (Hargreaves Lansdown, Trading 212, AJ Bell, interactive investor and others): ask them to appoint Brian McLaughlin as your proxy for the Celtic plc meetings on 1 December.

Deadlines:

Through a platform: tell them by Friday 20 November.

Posting Celtic's paper form: post it by Monday 23 November.

Online at https://t.co/1ooGK57Ucs: please do it by 12 noon Wednesday 25 November.

Celtic's final cut-off is Monday 30 November: 9.30am for the General Meeting and 12 noon for the AGM. Nothing counts after that.

Can you still go to the AGM? Yes. A proxy doesn't stop you attending or asking questions. If you want your shares counted with CSL, come along, speak, and let Brian cast the vote rather than voting yourself on the day.

The @CelticFC plc board backs our resolution. Now we need your vote counted.

On Tuesday 1st December, Celtic shareholders vote at Celtic Park:

🕤 09:30 General Meeting: new Articles of Association

🕛 12 noon AGM: including Resolution 15, to reunite lost shareholders with their shares and unclaimed dividends

Every vote this year is taken on a poll, so every share counts.

Can't be there? Appoint Brian McLaughlin as your proxy. It's free, takes two minutes, and you don't need to be a CSL member. Brian votes FOR Resolution 15, and on everything else in line with our published recommendations, unless you tell us otherwise.

Have your Control Number, SRN and PIN ready. They're on the letter or email Celtic sent you.

👉 https://t.co/WdKTtzemBW

⏰ Broker or platform (HL, AJ Bell, ii and others): instruct them by Fri 20 Nov

⏰ Posting Celtic's form: by Mon 23 Nov

⏰ Everyone else: by Wed 25 Nov

Know someone who bought shares in the 90s? Send them this.

@celticCSL @CelticFC Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. Well done all.

[Celtic Supporters Ltd @celticCSL]

The @CelticFC plc board has unanimously recommended that shareholders vote FOR Resolution 15, the resolution Celtic Supporters Limited requisitioned with over 300 shareholders behind it. The directors will vote their own shares in favour.

It asks the board to appoint Georgeson, Computershare's tracing service, to reunite shareholders and their families with their shares and unclaimed dividends. No upfront cost to the club. The fee comes only out of what is recovered.

Thousands of fans bought shares in the 1990s and have since lost touch. No annual report, no vote, and in some cases dividends sitting unclaimed. This starts putting that right.

We give the board credit. Now for delivery: a date for the appointment and a date for the first report to shareholders.

The AGM is at Celtic Park on Tuesday 1st December at 12 noon, with a General Meeting at 09:30 on changes to the club's Articles. Much of it is housekeeping. Some of it deserves a close look. We'll publish our recommendation on every item.

Can't be there? Our proxy page is open make your vote count. Follow us for the link.

New on @LMBFPodcast : Duncan Smillie and Brian McLaughlin of Celtic Supporters Limited join Frank McAvennie and Simon Houston to talk about this year's @CelticFC AGM.

Celtic has more than 37,000 shareholders. Thousands bought in during the 1990s share issues, when the club needed them. Many have since lost touch with their shares: house moves, lost certificates, holders who have passed away, families who never knew the shares existed.

Our resolution is going to the AGM. It requests the Board to instruct the registrar to run a shareholder reunification programme, so those shares go back to the people who paid for them, or to their families.

The people who bailed Celtic out in one of its darkest hours should own what they paid for.

What you can do:

If you hold Celtic shares and won't be voting yourself, give your proxy to Celtic Supporters Limited. The form goes live at https://t.co/sHLeziAyli as soon as the AGM is called.

If you or a family member have lost track of shares, contact us through the site and we will help.

We support the @CFC_Collective call for proper scrutiny at this year's AGM. A few facts for shareholders on where accountability actually sits.

There is no legal requirement for any director to attend an AGM. Celtic is listed on AIM(Alternative Investment Market), so the statutory right to have questions answered at the meeting (s.319A Companies Act) does not apply here.

What does carry weight is how shareholders vote. Directors standing for re-election need shareholder support. Every vote and every proxy counts, whether you hold one share or thousands.

If you hold Celtic shares, make sure you vote, appoint a proxy if you can't attend, and submit questions in writing in advance so they are on record.

Scrutiny works best when it is backed by votes.

@CelticFC Dear Celtic, I’m going to hazard a guess and say there are more fans who aren’t members of supporters clubs than there are….so maybe try and communicate with the whole, not the part,

You have nowhere to hide anymore, stop trying, come clean, the truth will set you free

[Celtic Supporters Ltd @celticCSL]

Watch CSL director David Low ( @Heavidor) talk to @PaulJohnDykes about why the rule of 9 is important.

With the Celtic plc AGM soon to be announced, this is an important topic for all to consider.

If you agree with David and want to proxy your vote to CSL for the AGM, the link is in our bio.

Fans already own shares in Celtic. CSL brings that ownership together into one voice.

Really good interview, this. David Low is a chink of light for Celtic fans amid their frustration with the board. Speaks an awful lot of sense. And he’s seen this before, of course. Celtic directors should heed his message.

@TEnglishSport We would be delighted to come onto @BBCSportsound @BBCSportScot to explain our work to your listeners. You only need to ask [email protected]
