Formed in October they are a protest group with a difference.
Rather than shouting the odds they have a plan.
To buy shares in Celtic and to revive dormant shares, mainly from the 1995 issue when almost 30,000 supporters and groups invested in the club.
In May they produced a 64 page paper. The Celtic Paradox, highlighting how Celtic could operate better, where they could learn from the successes of clubs outside the big five European leagues.
Clubs like Maribor, Malmo, AEK Athens, Cluj, Ferencvaros, Midtjylland, Kairat Almaty and now LASK.
Those clubs know how to overcome seeded opponents in Champions League qualifiers.
Against unseeded opponents Celtic have failed 8 times out of 10.
Eight failed opportunities to grow and develop the club.
Celtic have now found every way to lose.
From going out in penalties to giving away a 4-0 goal lead with an hour left to play.
Add Legia AND Maribor from the disastrous 2014/15 campaign.
TWO wins in 17 vs 9 supposedly smaller unseeded clubs.
The needs of the club in each of the last 2 qualifying campaigns were plain to see months before a ball was kicked. No need to go to investors or a bank for the… pic.twitter.com/QDplQ6aWdO

Sixty years ago Celtic were embarking on an epic European run that led to Lisbon.
This season fans hoped for a place in the top 36 of European football, perhaps the top 24 emulating the achievement of just two years ago.
That won’t be happening.
CELTIC DECLINE AS THEY FAIL AGAIN TO QUALIFY FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
The club faces the autumn and winter slog of Thursday and Sunday matches against a backdrop of anger or apathy. It is debateable which is most harmful.
On Friday the draw will be made for the Europa League. Earlier that day Martin O’Neill will host a media conference in which he has to lift the mood.
Meanwhile transfer targets will be getting adjusted.
Celtic are currently sitting on a profit of around £10m but with massive holes in the squad.
CSL are likely to be active on social media.
Last season was one of almost constant anger with the club and large parts of the squad at odds with each other.
A rerun of the 25/26 season is on the cards unless something drastic is about to happen.

Celtic fans – please don’t buy Europa league tickets.
And you can rest assured that those members of the current board which have fundamentally caused this latest humiliation of Celtic exiting the CL at the play off stage are all guaranteed huge massive bonuses and perks for overseeing the entire omnishambles ?
Pitchforks at dawn Joe…..seriously i don’t know how we’re going to change direction club is going or how we get rid of Desmond and Co. but what i do know is if nothing changes at top table and we don’t get a modern young manager in things will get a lot worse
I’m surprised by the surprise of everyone acting surprised.
While theRangers have financial backing and spunked £40m in January to finish 3rd, we made £70m profit for our majority shareholder DD which enabled his wankstain entitled fat nappy arse child to verbally abuse the bedrock of the club.
They’re not acting like responsible custodians of the club – completely new board required, DD can sit on his £3bn and stuff it up his saggy hoop. Their penny pinching miserly action cost us £60m last two seasons. Pay that back and fuwk off ya clarty fat old fuwks
