Core problems remain despite Green Brigade ban being lifted

Photo IMAGO The Green Brigades unfair and unjust exile is at long last coming to a welcome end, with the news that the Glasgow City Council Safety Advisory Group confirming it did not object to the suspension being lifted, subject to three conditions being satisfied. According to the club, after communications with the Green Brigade, they accepted the conditions on offer, meaning that section 111 will be full once again for Saturday’s all important clash with St Mirren. The extra conditions previously thrown in by Police Scotland and/or their former colleague Mark Hargreaves have not been mentioned but that signals a victory for the Celtic Ultras who stood their ground to protect their own civil liberties.

If we were paying for a season ticket based on goals scored we’d be in line for a substantial discount when renewals come out in the next week or so.

Not that that is in any way related to the decision to bring back the Green Brigade. Thinking that it’s all about the money for the Celtic Board would be a wrong, these are all Celtic men doing their very best for the club and the supporters and their commitment to the cause could never be questioned. Unbowed.
