The Green Brigade have confirmed that there will be no Glasgow Derby tifo for Sunday’s game. Anticipation is growing ahead of the Premiership game at Celtic Park with Brendan Rodgers’ side closing in on a fourth successive title.
Taking to Twitter, North Curve Celtic confirmed that there would be no display at the game in a strongly worded statement against the club.

There should be a mechanism for the club to approve tifos in advance of games to ensure that there are no surprises at the ground. The GB have helped to enhance the atmosphere at the stadium since 2006 and the Matchday tifos are a welcome spectacle.
There will be a number of fans that sympathise with the board’s decision due to the recent displays but they will also appreciate the impressive nature of the tifos in the past and how they aid the Matchday experience.
Focus will shift into the team and pushing the team onto victory. Every supporter will have a responsibility to support the team as they look to beat the Ibrox side.
Tifos don’t generate atmosphere. Football lost much of the match day atmosphere when compulsory seating came into force but the north curve spoil what could be a game changer with its political banners.
Yet more toys out the pram from the overgrown toddlers of the green brigade. They drove one Celtic player out of the club with their petty middle-east gesture politics, a sensitive and nuanced political situation they clearly cannot begin to comprehend, yet continue to bring further fines and bans on our club with their brain dead flag-waving posturing. If they pay back the equivalent total amount of fines that they have incurred and cost our club, then they may be taken seriously.
And as for their pathetic display honouring a convicted terrorist, this has no place at a football match. These coke-addled wee boys would not have lasted ten minutes in the Belfast of the 70s & 80s, their misguided romanticising of a horrific period in history is an insult to those who had to endure and tolerate the atrocities on both sides, and this dead convict was no friend of our club, and deserves no banner in our stadium.
So dry your eyes, you bunch of pathetic weans. You brought this club ban on yourselves, and yet again, the whole support suffers.
No one person or group forced Abada out of the club and as for your terrorist remark , the man was a freedom fighter, not some soup taker like you who would gladly bend the knee to an occupying force. Are you maybe a lawell or Nicholson in disguise ?
Soup-takers indeed. And how arrogant to suggest that anyone who can read cannot understand a complex political problem. We should presumably still be doffing our caps to our betters like Arthur Balfour and Brian Wilson !
It is a fact that young people are our future
@HLS Like so many “real fascists”, the silent minority who encourage atrocities by their inaction and silence, your ignorant presumptuous attitude and failure to understand that “everything” in life is political. ie: people like you, are equally political in the football arena by your inaction, agreement with crimes against humanity funded/invested in and aided by your oligarchs and corporate Zionists/Brit Planters, by your demands for others silence and that they sanitise your little life and don’t “offend” your ears and eyes. Fascism is flourishing and some people can’t see the world they are allowing to be built around them for their children. But, despite your pathetic attempt at generalisation and white-washing, people will always resist and they may even stoop to the sick levels of their oppressors.
Complex ? Stop the genocide , give the Palestinians their land back, stop the settlers, sound familiar ? That’s the oppression that people like bik mcfarlane fought against in his country and in case you didn’t know your history, the English did it here as well with the highland clearances. Did you reference Wilson and Balfour from the GB banner on the brits Remembrance Day ? Remember to doff your cap to his Britannic majesty when taking your soup with the suits on the board all the while feeling safe in the empire .. TAL
