Overview
- Celtic says a matchday staff member was assaulted during a routine ticket check at the rail seating section, prompting two officers to attempt an arrest.
- The club alleges around 100 Green Brigade members coordinated to prevent the arrest, with some concealing identities, and that a steward and two officers were assaulted.
- Citing a July warning, Celtic has activated a suspended sanction that bars the group for three home fixtures beginning this weekend and restricts away access during the period.
- Police Scotland condemned the disorder, said the officers and a steward were left shaken and traumatised, and issued an appeal for witnesses as investigations continue.
- The Green Brigade rejected the claims in a statement, alleging aggressive conduct by the club and police and characterising the ban as an attempt to silence board critics.
