Green Brigade unleash at Celtic powerbrokers in loaded address and claim board have SHAMED club
The Green Brigade have hit back at Celtic and claimed the board have SHAMED the club after banning the group.
On Tuesday night Parkhead chiefs told around 200 members of the section their season tickets have been suspended until further notice due to "repeated incidents of unacceptable behaviour" with the shut out beginning during the Scottish Premiership clash with St Mirren. Record Sport understands Parkhead powerbrokers have taken the action following further problems with the Celtic ultras during the visit to Easter Road to face Hibs.
But the fan group insist that the ban comes as a result of their support for Palestine amid the conflict in Israel. The ultras held up banners and flags saying ‘Free Palestine’ with a second saying ‘Victory To The Resistance!!’ in the stands following the start of the conflict and defied a warning from the club by displaying Palestine flags during the Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid - which looks set to incur a UEFA sanction.
A statement from the fan group read "In recent weeks, Celtic supporters have proudly stood in solidarity with the Palestinian people, while the PLC board a position closer to the far-right British government, with similar attempts to censor and sanction Palestinian solidarity. As the death toll in Gaza nears 10,00, including almost 4,000 children – the PLC board have shamed Celtic Football Club with their conduct.
"It is undeniable that the sanctions imposed against those affiliated with the Green Brigade are a result of the group's unapologetic solidarity with Palestine. The sanctions applied, most notably collective bans, are evidently unfair; bereft of policy, process and communications with individuals wrongfully being punished before
