Celtic Bans Green Brigade for Three Home Games After Violent Celtic Park Incident

The club is enforcing a previously suspended sanction to address safety risks linked to the rail seating section.

Overview

  • Celtic activated a three-match home ban for Green Brigade members with immediate effect and suspended their access to away fixtures for the same period.
  • Club statements say a steward was assaulted during the October 29 match against Falkirk and two police officers were also attacked as they attempted an arrest.
  • Celtic alleges around 100 Green Brigade members coordinated to prevent the arrest, with many masking their identities and creating a risk of an officer being pulled to the ground.
  • The club released footage of the incident and confirmed it has written to the Green Brigade and to season-ticket holders outlining the action taken.
  • Police Scotland condemned the disorder and issued a witness appeal, saying the steward and officers were left extremely shaken and that those responsible will be pursued.
