Celtic have issued a statement critical about the use of banners at recent matches.
No banner or match is specified but an educated guess would suggest that the SHOW ISREAL THE RED CARD banner at last month’s match against Bayern Munich prompted the statement which references the Club’s Social Charter and Social Mission Statement.
Last week Celtic announced that they will be allocating 2,400 tickets to away fans for the Glasgow Derby on March 16.
Hopefully the club pays similar levels of attention to their UNACCEPTABLE CONDUCT regulations at the Derby match and identifies and takes action against everyone singing and celebrating their hatred.
Tonight’s statement opened with:
Celtic Football Club shares the concerns communicated by our own supporters regarding the use of banners at recent matches.
Celtic is an inclusive football club open to all, with no political agenda, as is clear from the Club’s Social Charter and Social Mission Statement, and no group of supporters, or any other organisation, speaks on behalf of Celtic.
Everyone associated with Celtic recognises the important part that Celtic supporters play in inspiring the team and contributing to the Celtic spirit.
Fan displays should support the team, or otherwise celebrate Celtic, and be consistent with the terms of the Celtic Social Charter, Social Mission Statement and other terms that apply to all supporters’ enjoyment of Celtic.
That is why the Club developed a protocol regarding the use of banners and organised displays at Celtic Park, or any other stadia where Celtic plays, requiring the pre-approval of fan displays.
No name is put to the statement, no quotes are attributed to any club officials.
The UNACCEPTABLE CONDUCT regulations cover:
H27 Disorderly conduct includes
H27.1 conduct which stirs up or sustains or is likely or designed to stir up or sustain, hatred

Celtic chose not to share today’s statement on their X/Twitter account.
On Wednesday the SPFL announced that Celtic will have 500 tickets cut from their next League Cup semi-final due to the use of Pyro at this season’s semi and final.

“Open To All”.
That would include sevco fans, of course!
I wanted a laugh earlier so I tuned into sevco radio sorry what thought was sevco radio,but it was actually SSB.
The 3 doughballs the host Duncan and 2 klowns as pundits Wilson and Dalziel tripping over each other with excrement sorry excitement about how wonderful sevco are on Thursday when playing.
Wilson the fud that he is then chipped in with this beauty,it’s knockout football tonight sevco love it,really then someone better point out to him Queens Park skelped sevco out the Scottish Cup just other week,and that was a knockout game.
So the zionists that are the institutional investors in our club now let their voice be known. Pressurising to censor the views of our fan base. Fcuk the board!! For this!… There is plenty of us out there to buy the zio out of our club!
Who does this board think they are,our club was started to help the poor in the east end.Nothing has changed in all in all these years apart from the board,being full of greedy Tories keeping themselves on our money,they should remember we have already got rid of one board before.As for Banner that GB had at last game many of supporters agree with it
It’s called censorship, what happened to freedom of expression?
The 500 tickets the Secvo Friends Association are docking us should be reciprocated if the sevco fans sing the billy boys in our stadium.
Do the Tory board really want a war with our support..
I can understand the pyro thing.. We as a fan base will always stand up for the oppressed.
It is about being on the right side of history Celtic
They’ll probably be plenty ‘unacceptable’ to the board banners up from both sets of fans on the day…
Will ‘Daddy’ and Lord Lucan-Nicholson go after The Sevco Hun Hoards though –
Answers on a postage stamp please…
With The Queens Head upside down as well !
FUCK OUR BOARD.
Ha ha !!!
These assholes sitting in the Parkhead boardroom really ought to take a rough fuck to themselves.
They can coerse and threaten all they want but it will have ZERO effect on the fans they are allegedly wishing to target.
They come out with their mealy mouthed statements in the forlorn hope that it will actually rectify the situation to where they wish it to be.
All the while supplying the very fans they are making out they have had enough of with blocks of tickets for the areas behind the goalposts at Hampdump so they can let off their squibs while the rest of us are entered into a ludicrous ballot for every game at the national stadium.
Not one of these parasites give a fuck about ANYTHING except share prices,bloated salaries and exorbitant bonuses…….. for what ???
Whipping the worst batch of Scottish teams in living memory, as proven by the fact that ANY of the 10 teams behind their beloved O.. F… Franchise could still be relegated.
I’d rather see the Green Brigade burn the fuckin place down than Lawwell & Co get their way on this.
Pandering to the Hun loving SFA while they say absolutely fuck all about any cheating officials or the team from G51 who can do as they please while big Peter fellates them and rent bhoy Nicholson takes it up the arse from all and sundry.
Mibbe he was given a gimp mask when he took over as Peter’s tea boy as that might explain why we hear not a murmer from him on any occasion.
You reap what you fuckin sow !
Roon ye,every avaricious one of you !
A special place in hell awaits you all for your subservience to these people if there’s any justice.
Sporting stadiums are the very platforms to voice our disgust at this slaughter.Im no youth,I’m in my 60s and I’m so proud of our fans leading the way in calling out the Israeli genocide.”Oh let’s just turn a blind eye”,disgusting and cowardly.Shills.
