Celtic’s Green Brigade Tifo Ban Sparks Controversy Ahead of Glasgow Derby

The ongoing tension between Celtic's Green Brigade and the club's board has escalated following the decision to ban the group's tifo display for the upcoming Glasgow Derby against Rangers. This move, perceived by many fans as an attempt to appease Rangers, has sparked widespread disappointment and debate within the Celtic community.

The Green Brigade, known for their passionate support and elaborate tifo displays, issued a statement expressing their frustration over the ban. They argue that the decision undermines the spirit of the rivalry and the club's traditions. The statement has resonated with many supporters who view the board's action as a capitulation to external pressures rather than standing by their own fanbase.

The ban comes at a critical time, as the match against Rangers is one of the most anticipated fixtures of the season. The absence of the Green Brigade's usual vibrant display is expected to impact the atmosphere at Celtic Park. Critics of the board's decision argue that it could affect the team's morale and performance in this crucial game.
