Andy Walker tells Celtic what he 'couldn't be less interested' about amid Green Brigade ban as he takes measured stance

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. But politics within the stadium is of no interest to him. He told Go Radio: "I think they can the heartbeat of the stadium, I know they do a lot of really good things. They donate to food banks, collect money for various charities.

"I've got to say I couldn't be less interested in anyone's politics going to a football match. Whatever it may be. I just want to go and watch the football. I'm sure there's a lot of people inside the stadium that feel the same way.

"Celtic are a club like many others with a lot of supporters, young and old, they all have different views but my experience of playing with Celtic, this is a group of supporters that can put a yard on your stride when they are all together and behind you.

"I really appreciated that, they can give you a hard time as well. You would only be getting a hard time if you deserved it, that's part of the ticket when you play there.

"I'm not interested in anyone's politics when I go to the football. But I do recognise they do a lot of good stuff and they care about various good causes."
