Andy Walker says he cares little for politics when it comes to football as Celtic banning the Green Brigade continues to ignite conversation.

The Premiership champions have moved to suspend the ultras season tickets indefintley after a slate of incidents this season.

They insist the display of suppport for Palestine, most recently at home in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid, is not the sole reason for the ban.

But the group themselves claimed on Wednesday they believed that was a primary motivation. Pundit Walker took a measured approach to the ban, and highlighted some of the good work the Green Brigade have carried out within the community.
