The mystery £1m ‘off-book’ Celtic share sale just days before the 2025 AGM explained

The 2025 Celtic AGM is almost upon the Parkhead support and it threatens to be the most explosive yet.

Celtic fans’ unhappiness with the board has never seen such levels since the days of the Kelly & White dynasty.

But somehow, even in the midst of the most successful period in Celtic’s history, this board, this motley crew of muppets have managed to cause division between themselves and the fans.

The Celtic Fans Collective have made their l feelings perfectly clear towards the bird and have embarked on a series of tweets campaigning for specific executives to be removed from the Parkhead corridors.

However, just before the AGM, a mystery sale of almost £1m worth of Celtic shares happened and it will raise eyebrows before the annual meeting.

The ‘off-book’ sale of £1m worth of Celtic shares

It appears that almost 600,000 Celtic shares were late yesterday afternoon in a move just days before the Celtic AGM.

Excellent X account GradndOLTeam shares the details.

Keen-eyed Celtic fans will notice that the type of transaction made here is called ‘off-book’.

Off-book basically means that the transaction happens directly between two parties (or through brokers negotiating privately), often in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, rather than through the exchange’s centralised, visible matching system where buy and sell orders are publicly displayed and automatically matched.

In other words, someone inside the club is selling up and it appears that another Celtic shareholder has bought these shares.

With Lindsell Trading selling up, it raises the question of who inside Celtic has just increased their shareholding despite the enormous fan pressure on the Parkhead board.
