Celtic AGM date revealed as Parkhead board set for another stormy shareholders showdown

Celtic's AGM is set for December 1 at Parkhead after the club suffered Champions League elimination, a financial loss of £5m, and a 22.7% revenue drop.

Celtic have confirmed their Annual General Meeting will take place on Tuesday, December 1 at Parkhead, starting at noon. The meeting comes amid significant unrest among shareholders following a difficult season that saw the club crash out of the Champions League after losing to Austrian side LASK, exit the Premier Sports Cup to Rangers, and suffer league defeats to their rivals.

The club's recently published annual accounts revealed a loss of nearly £5 million and a 22.7 per cent drop in revenue. Last year's AGM was abandoned prematurely due to shareholder unrest, with proceedings lasting barely half an hour before being called to a halt by then-chairman Peter Lawwell.

Interim chairman Brian Wilson said shareholders have the right to challenge and question the board, and expressed hope the meeting will run its full course this time. Despite rumours of an online-only format, club chiefs will appear in person, though provisions have been made for online completion if needed. The meeting will address the club's performance and financial position, though Celtic did win the domestic double last season under manager Martin O'Neill.
