After detailing a couple of incidents the Celtic board decided that the appropriate reaction was to suspend 267 Season Ticket holders from the Green Brigade.

Why each incident wasn’t dealt with individually is a bit of a mystery, it seems that the hierarchy which will have reached Michael Nicholson were content to allow things to develop before suspending access to away tickets followed by the action on Season Ticket holders.

Another smaller issue surfaced on Sunday with three individuals deciding to run onto the park. A proper ban that is well publicised should provide a real deterrent but the Celtic Security Team had another solution.

After the 90th minute of the match against Aberdeen the stadium was ringed by stewards ensuring that the fans in the front rows that had decided to stay for the duration had to stand up or move back towards the exits to view the last two goals of the game.

To deal with three pitch invaders it seems that the solution was to inconvenience thousands of mainly Season Ticket holders that maintain the rules of the stadium.

No explanation has been offered by Celtic, communications isn’t a strength unless they are trying to extract more money out of #thecelticfamily.

December has a glut of home fixtures at a time in the season when attendances tend to take a dip, with Customer Relations like Sunday on offer it will be no surprise of some more fans wonder what the point of it all is.
