Celtic fan group the Green Brigade have hit back at the cub after they were banned from home and away games for 'unacceptable conduct.'

In a statement released tonight, the group calls allegations of unsafe behaviour at last Saturday's game with Hibs "laughable".

The ultras also say they have no regrets in by-passing security checks to produce displays and reject claims of staff intimidation.

Green Brigade statement

Celtic have banned the group, citing a number of repeated incidents, including rushing turnstiles at Motherwell’s Fir Park, illegally gained access before the Lazio match, unauthorised banners and behaviour towards stewards.

Most recently the group defied a request not to display Palestine flags during a UEFA Champions League match between Celtic and Atletico de Madrid.

And this latest incident is what the fans group strongly believe sparked the ban, saying the club are "attempting to censor Palestinian solidarity"

“As the death toll in Gaza nears 10,000, including almost 4,000 children – the PLC board have shamed Celtic Football Club with their conduct.
