The Celtic Trust is among the newest of supporters' bodies and its mere existence illustrates how much Celtic and football have changed in recent years.

It was established in 1999 with the aim of providing an umbrella organisation to represent the views of the combined shareholdings of ordinary supporters in Celtic Plc.The Trust states its aim is to "...assist Celtic to prosper on the playing field and financially, while also staying true to its historic roots as a social institution taking proper account of the community which it serves".

The Trust has frequently and unsuccesfully campaigned to have a supporter representative on the Celtic board.

The Trust also campaigned for share dividends to be reinvested in the club. The PLC eventually approved a dividend reinvestment scheme (SCRIP Scheme) and each year supporters can choose to have their dividends reinvested in the club in exchange for new shares.
