Thanks to everyone who took part in tonight’s #AskCSL Q&A.
We received well over 100 questions and tried to answer as many as possible, but the hour goes quickly.
We’ll be doing more of these, including longer sessions and in-person or live Teams events in the near future.
Please keep your eyes peeled for upcoming dates.
Thanks again for the support.

Thanks for the question.
Our position is clear and consistent.
• CSL stays independent
• CSL stays member-led
• CSL focuses on governance, shares, and voting power inside the plc
We respect other grassroots movements and the energy they bring. We do not seek to replace them or speak for them.
Our role is different. We organise supporters and small shareholders so a fan voice exists where decisions are legally made, in the boardroom and at AGMs.
If CSL members approve a specific, defined piece of cooperation that strengthens supporter influence, we would engage on that basis alone.
No alliances by default. No dilution of mandate. Members decide.
@andynairn @celticCSL #AskCSL
Yes.
If you stop subscribing:
• Any shares already bought remain owned by CSL, not by individual members
• Your membership vote stops if you leave, but the shares stay with the remaining membership.
If CSL ever sold shares:
• That decision could only be taken by the members, one member one vote
• Any sale of shares would have to be for the benefit of the membership as a whole
That decision could only be taken by the members, one member, one vote, by members, not individuals.
#AskCSL if the opportunity arose would you be willing to work alongside @CFC_Collective and @TheCelticTrust in any joint enterprise that would benefit the goals of all three organisations.

No. Every member has one vote, regardless of whether they pay £10 per month or higher. Money never buys influence inside CSL. One Member One Vote
Joining does three things:
• Gives you an equal member vote on CSL decisions
• Allows CSL to aggregate shareholder votes and proxies properly
• Funds share purchases and essential running costs only
All subscription income is used for:
• Buying Celtic shares over time
• Share tracing and proxy work
• Legal, compliance, and operating costs
No directors are paid.
No tier gives extra power.
One member. One vote. Always.
Hi, signed up to CSL and want reconnected to my shares. I moved house in 2007 and a few times since. what should i do next? #AskCSL
@celticCSL @rxpp8j55dm #AskCSL
Bank we use is Co-Operative. Subscriptions are held by Celtic Supporters Limited, a company limited by guarantee.
Funds are used only for:
buying shares
essential running costs
professional and regulatory fees
Key safeguards:
one member, one vote regardless of subscription level
no directors are paid, all roles are voluntary
accounts and use of funds are transparent to members
decisions on material use of funds are governed by the Articles and member votes where required
There is no personal ownership or extraction. Subs exist to build collective shareholder influence, nothing else.

Good question. Not silly at all.
If a major shareholder sells to someone seeking control, the outcome depends on how much of the register is organised at that point.
A few clear points:
CSL does not control outcomes by default. Influence grows as share ownership and proxy alignment grow.
If control changed before a meaningful CSL position was built, CSL would not be able to block it. That is simply how plc law works.
What CSL does is reduce the risk of decisions being made with no organised supporter voice at all.
Even without a blocking stake, an organised shareholder group can:
Vote cohesively
Ask formal questions
Requisition resolutions if thresholds are met
Apply pressure through governance, not noise
The alternative is the current position, where fragmented small shareholders have no coordinated voice whatsoever.
CSL is about building influence over time, not claiming guaranteed outcomes overnight. Organisation improves the odds. Disorganisation guarantees irrelevance.
25% plus one share is often described as a powerful blocking stake in a PLC. This could stop any special resolution, including a takeover.
If control changed before a meaningful CSL position was built, CSL would not be able to block it. That is simply how PLC law works.

Success in five years:
A large, stable membership.
A meaningful, organised block of shares held or represented by CSL.
Regular, disciplined use of proxy votes at AGMs.
Recognition of CSL as a serious shareholder body whose questions, resolutions, and votes must be addressed.
Supporters having a permanent, credible voice in the plc boardroom.
Failure in five years:
Low membership engagement or high churn.
No material shareholding or proxy influence.
Being ignored at AGMs because voting power never reached scale.
Becoming another talking shop without leverage.
CSL exists to turn supporter voice into formal influence. If that influence is real and growing, CSL is succeeding.

Q1. Can you support individuals with accessing inherited shares?
Yes. CSL provides clear guidance and step-by-step support to help individuals trace and access inherited or untraced shares. The legal actions stay with the executor or beneficiary. We guide, we do not act on their behalf.
Q2. Will individuals still own their shares if they use CSL for proxy voting?
Yes. Shares always remain the individual’s property.
A proxy simply authorises CSL to vote those shares at a specific meeting. Ownership, dividends, and disposal rights stay entirely with the shareholder.
Q3. If successful, how does CSL influence how the club is run?
Celtic is a plc. Influence comes through organised share ownership, disciplined proxy voting, and formal engagement at AGMs and general meetings. CSL exists to turn fragmented voices into coordinated voting power inside the boardroom, where decisions are made.
If I bought shares privately, could these be proxied to @celticCSL to be used whilst voting at the AGM #askCSL

Good evening
Silly question, what happens if DD sells to someone who wants additional control, where would that leave the group if enough shares had not been gained please?
