Lennon wants Green Brigade return

Neil Lennon wants to see the Green Brigade back at Celtic Park.

The vociferous backing from section 111 was notable by it’s absence on Saturday as Celtic crashed to a 1-0 defeat at home to Inverness Caley Thistle.

After the match the headlines were dominated by an exchange that Lennon had with some angry fans with the cat calls more obvious without the backdrop created by the Green Brigade.

The exact reasons for the boycott are unclear but the Celtic boss would like to see the situation resolved with the sights and sounds from Section 111 booming around the ground again.

“There is no doubt that they do bring something special to the stadium,” Lennon said. “We want them back.

“I understand some of the reasons why they didn’t come to the game but we would like to sort it out with dialogue, come to some sort of conclusion and get them back supporting the team as they have brought so much to the club and the stadium, they have been so much help to the players and myself since I have been in charge.”

Looking back to Saturday’s incident with some supporters Lennon added: “I know it is difficult for fans because they are passionate about the team and want them to do well but sometimes it doesn’t help.

“I wasn’t getting any stick personally, it was directed towards the team and I was defending the team because they are giving me everything.

“I think the world of my players and think the world of my supporters as well.”
