Green Brigade BANNED by Celtic for away games as club take action amid fears over UEFA fines and 'unsafe behaviour'

Celtic have suspended Green Brigade tickets for away games pending review.

Parkhead chiefs have made the move citing continued unacceptable behaviour at recent matches from the group against Feyenoord in Rotterdam and Motherwell at Fir Park. European football chiefs UEFA handed the club another fine of £20,250 this week for the use of pyrotechnics during last month’s Champions League match in Holland.

A spokesperson for Celtic said: “As the group in question has been informed in writing, this decision to suspend access to away tickets relates to very clear and extremely serious unsafe and unacceptable behaviour at recent away matches, including those against Feyenoord and Motherwell.

"As an example, at Feyenoord, widespread and unsafe use of pyrotechnics resulted in another fine for the club from UEFA. Investigations are ongoing in relation to unsafe behaviour at Motherwell, including rushing turnstiles and forcing open fire exits to permit access to individuals without tickets.”
