Celtic Clear Green Brigade for St Mirren Return

Extra backing at Celtic Park could matter in a tight title race.

Overview

  • Celtic and Glasgow’s Safety Advisory Group ended the five‑month suspension on the ultras section under conditions tied to matchday safety and post‑match reporting for their Parkhead return against St Mirren.
  • Manager Martin O’Neill welcomed the move and said the group’s noise would give his players a boost during the run‑in.
  • The Scottish FA appointed sports event consultant Mark Blackbourne to lead an investigation into disorder that followed March’s RangersCeltic Scottish Cup quarter‑final.
  • On‑loan right‑back Julian Araujo suffered a recurrence of a hamstring injury during treatment at Bournemouth and will miss the rest of the season, which could also affect his Mexico call‑up.
  • Squad availability is starting to improve, with Arne Engels expected back and Alistair Johnston and Callum Osmand possible next week, while right‑back Colby Donovan faces a short hamstring layoff.
