Celtic AGM: What nine resolutions are on the agenda ahead of Celtic Park shareholder meeting?

Celtic shareholders will get the opportunity to quiz the Parkhead hierarchy on a range of issues this morning at the club’s AGM - one of the liveliest days in the Scottish football calendar.

The Hoops have experienced a transition period over the last 12 months, with manager Ange Postecoglou transforming their fortunes on the park by adopting a highly entertaining brand of attacking football. The Australian reclaimed the Scottish Premiership title in his first season at the helm and ended the club’s five-year absence from the Champions League.

Off the park, newly-appointed chief executive Michael Nicholson has earned plaudits from a large section of Celtic’s fanbase for supporting Postecoglou in the previous two transfer markets and concluding player trading business early in the window.

Chairman Ian Bankier has also announced he will step down from his position on January 1, 2023 after nearly 12 years of service, with official confirmation over who will replace the 70-year-old yet to be confirmed. Former CEO Peter Lawwell remains the leading candidate for the role.

Club shareholders have today been invited to attend and vote at the annual meeting taking place at 11.30am, which is being held in the Kerrydale Suite at Celtic Park. It will NOT be broadcast on TV.
