This six match Green Brigade ban is rather convenient, and we should be all be sensible enough to see through it…
The Green Brigade have subjected to a three match home ban, and the same number of away fixtures due to a combination of their alleged violation of their previous ‘disciplinary’ issues.
The club released a statement on Friday evening expressing their dismay at the ultras after claiming a staff member was attacked while roughly 100 Green Brigade members preventing the police from detaining the so called suspect. The club also posted a video which certainly shows the ultras leaving their arena as they are called back into the tunnel with some urgency. The footage appears to come from the other side of the stadium and you can view it for yourselves HERE. It appears at the end of the official Celtic statement on the alleged incident.
Here’s the response from the Green Brigade via North Curve Celtic account on x.

I say claim because that’s all it currently is, and with the fan group denying any wrongdoing, it seems nothing more than an agenda from the club after their previous ‘disagreements’ with the North Curve ultras, now more than ever due to the ever growing justified hostility towards those who run the club.
The club are desperate to take some heat off their own failings, and call me a cynic but what better way to turn that down a notch by temporarily eliminating one of the most vocal public voices?
It’s an even greater kick in the teeth as the club has once more sided with Police Scotland who also have a well-known agenda against the Celtic ultras, and similar football supporters groups in general.
Where was the club’s defence of the supporters when the Police caused a serious crush a few years back before a Glasgow Derby, the first one where the away allocation had been reduced? Disaster was only avoided that day by the sensible response – not from the police or from Celtic staff but from the Celtic supporters themselves.
Or the many incidents of well documented Police hostility towards Celtic supporters?
As I and many others will see it, all the club is doing is asserting their authority to silence one of their biggest critics, in the aim of deflecting the spotlight away from their own failings.
Hopefully our support is sensible enough to see through this entire charade. Or at least I hope we are. Many will side with the Board, splitting the support. The same thing happened with the recent Dermot Desmond statement with some supporters agreeing with every word he wrote and others taking the opposite view.
We are certainly not a club united. If there has been an incident then it’s for the courts to decide. Last time I looked the innocent until proven guilty rule still applies in Scots Law but maybe I missed that changing?
The video Celtic has released certainly shows that something was happening but no more than that. It does not prove beyond reasonable doubt that any offence was committed and Celtic’s actions could actually hinder any future criminal case brought by the Fiscal against anyone accused of a crime.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy
Ban these arseholes permanently. They are an embarrassment to the club. There are plenty of fans on the waiting list who would be happy to take their season tickets
Absolute nonsense. This situation is being dramatised by the club for maximum effect. The first 2 sentences in your post should be directed at the board.
