Green Brigade unveil Celtic Park mural as ultras group issue 'refugees welcome' message

The Green Brigade have unveiled a new mural inside Celtic Park welcoming refugees to the ground.

The influential ultras group took to social media to deliver a firm message in welcoming all to Parkhead next season.

The Celtic supporters also look back to the roots of the club with the message 'created by immigrants', after the the Hoops were formed by the Irish immigrant population in Glasgow.

The statement comes amid growing political debate over the UK immigration policy.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the Tories have been heavily criticised for the implementation of a system which will see asylum seekers flown to Rwanda.

And during Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine almost 4000 Ukrainians have arrived in Scotland since Vladimir Putin first launched an attack on their country.

That has also seen the government’s visa system for refugees criticised as slow and complex with red tape stopping more arrivals.

However, the Celtic fans have been clear in their message ahead of their return to Scottish Premiership action in Glasgow's east end against Aberdeen.
