A very sizeable number of Celtic fans are concerned and angry by the decision today to suspend the Season Tickets of the Green Brigade.

It appears that a number of unacceptable incidents at matches home and away can be pinned at the door of the Ultras group with 200 tickets involved.

The immediate impact will be a much quieter stadium tomorrow night against St Mirren with another wedge driven between rank and file supporters and the club executives, Michael Nicholson and Peter Lawwell.

As the story from Radio Clyde demonstrates it is almost impossible not to link the decision with the recent displays of support for Palestine which is clearly coming from much more than 200 fans.

In Celtic’s last three matches there has been Palestone flags on display in almost every area of the stadium.

This afternoon Celtic sent out an email to those supporters effected which included a claim that:

Further, it was also clearly explained to the group to that, as a result of unacceptable behaviours during Season 2022/23, the Club was required to submit a report to the Safety Advisory Group of Glasgow City Council, following every home game in an attempt to address the SAG’s “concerns regarding the conduct of certain spectators located within the north-east curve area.”

It seems to be an incredible coincidence that it has taken until November to follow up on those issues, just weeks after a surge in Palestine flags appearing at matches, home and away.

Are Celtic right to suspend Season Tickets for Green Brigade members?

Yes, the board are protecting their business

No, they are badly out of touch
