Green Brigade accuse Celtic of still CHARGING members for tickets for games they're banned from attending

The Green Brigade have accused Celtic of CHARGING members for games that they are banned from attending.

The ultras group hit out at Parkhead chiefs as they accused them of hitting them in the pocket following their decision to ban them from home and away games over their behaviour at recent matches. Brendan Rodgers’ men travel to Madrid to face Atletico in the Champions League on Tuesday night with the Green Brigade members unable to attend.

They say they are “losing hundreds of pounds on travel” with many having booked to go to the Spanish capital before the club announced their punishment. m Now they have released a statement saying that Celtic are taking cash from them for other matches they can’t attend. It read: “This week, fans are losing hundreds of pounds on travel to Madrid for a game they are banned from. On top of this, the PLC continues to take direct debit payments for matches fans are currently banned from, with still no further communication with the fans affected.”
