Every Celtic rule issued to the Green Brigade before return from hardline banner and pyro 'protocol' to balaclava ban

Celtic have issued the Green Brigade with 14 rules as the controversial ultras prepare to make their Parkhead return.

The fan group will be back in the standing section for the clash with Livingston after being shut out for two months after the club took firm action following a sting of incidents and fines. But following talks between the supporters and the Celtic powerbrokers a new code of conduct has been signed to prevent more problems. The updated code of conduct has been revealed online by the club with details of the new-look Rail Seating Safety Code of Conduct being circulated before David Martindale's men arrive for the Scottish Premiership clash.

It sees banners outlined as a no-go for the GB while any singing which "could reasonably be considered" to be racial, sectarian, political, homophobic or discriminatory could spark action from the club. The new code of conduct read: “The safety of all supporters at Celtic Park is of paramount importance to the Club. The safe operation of the Rail Seating Section at Celtic Park requires effective communication and engagement with the supporters in that area.

"The Club has therefore adopted this Rail Seating Code, which for all Season Tickets issued in the Rail Seating Section will apply as an additional term of the Season Ticket terms and conditions, in addition to: (i) the Season Ticket Terms and Conditions; (ii) the Ground Regulations; (iii) the Celtic FC Social Mission Statement; (iv) the Unacceptable Conduct Rules; (v) the terms of any Supporter Charter or other Code of Conduct adopted by or binding upon the Club; and (vi) the rules and regulations of any football authority binding upon the Club; copies of which are all available on request and at celticfc.com.
