The Green Brigade will be back inside Celtic Park tomorrow night for the Champions League Play-Off against Astana.

The popular fans group were served with a two match blanket ban following incidents during the Champions League qualifier against Linfield.

That resulted in 900 empty places for the games against Rosenborg and Hearts with the stand off with the club continuing through last week’s League Cup tie with Kilmarnock.

Celtic were hit with a £10,000 fine for the Linfield match with Brendan Rodgers and Peter Lawwell speaking out about the content of the banners displayed in that match.

Other issues have cropped up relating to the safe standing licence with Glasgow City Council apparently more concerned with those 900 seats than standing issues in buses and trains across the city every day of the week.

Celtic and the Green Brigade have had a troubled relationship over a number of issues with a string of UEFA fines relating to banners and pyro.
