Green Brigade in Celtic no show for James Forrest testimonial as Brendan Rodgers first home game swerved

The Green Brigade are not inside Celtic Park for James Forrest's testimonial against Athletic Bilbao as the Celtic fan group opted to miss Brendan Rodgers' first home game back.

Forrest has been recognised by the Hoops faithful with a testimonial against the La Liga side for his 14 trophy-laden years at Celtic and the game marked the first game at Parkhead since Rodgers agreed to return to Glasgow's east end.

However, there was a noticable absence in the stands as punters pointed out the controversial group were not in the stands. The Green Brigade were left incensed by Rodgers 2019 exit to Leicester but the anger from the vast majority of fans appears to have waned since the Irishman was appointed as Ange Postecoglou 's successor.

At the time of his departure, the Green Brigade unveiled a banner stating: 'You traded immortality for mediocrity. Never a Celt, always a fraud’ and they would post that image of the banner to social media moments after the Irishman was announced as boss on a three-year-deal.
