Celtic fire back in latest Green Brigade fall out

Celtic have reacted to the Tweet this morning from the Green Brigade after they announced that they would be boycotting the SWPL fixtures at home to Hibs and Hearts.

Home is the key word with the matches being staged at Celtic Park rather than at Airdrie where all of the SWPL matches have been staged so far this season.

The switch in venue resulted in the Green Brigade announcing the return of the Celtic End, part of their campaign for an increased and relocated standing section based on the Yellow Wall at Dortmund which makes the Westfallen one of the most atmospheric stadiums in Europe.

It seems that the Green Brigade jumped the gun with their plans for The Celtic End, Celtic had other ideas with a tweet from the Ultras group this morning revealing that they were again at loggerheads with the club hierarchy.

Speaking to the Daily Record a Celtic spokesman replied with:

The group were made aware that the Jock Stein would not be made available due to certain safety concerns relating to this specific area, but arrangements have been made by the Club to allow the group to attend within the Rail Seating Section.

This has been communicated to the group and the Club hopes that as many supporters and supporter groups as possible come along to support Celtic FC Women at the upcoming Celtic Park matches, as well as all other matches.

It seems clear that the friction between the Green Brigade and the club was only patched over, one match before the end of December Glasgow Derby.

The details of the latest dispute seem almost incidental, with most issues the club and the Green Brigade seem to take very different stances.

With Nicholson so clearly named in the statement from the Green Brigade it is difficult to see any long term solution with both sides positioning for the moral high ground.
