Celtic crackdown on ‘Green Brigade’ ultras

Celtic have made moves to disband the Green Brigade section at Parkhead after labelling events during Friday night’s match at Fir Park “indefensible”.

A reported £10,000 (€12,000) worth of damage was caused to seats in the lower section of the South Stand housing away fans — just above where a Green Brigade banner was displayed — during the 5-0 romp for Neil Lennon’s men against Motherwell.

A flare was let off in the same area before the game while two green smoke bombs were thrown into the goalmouth, one of them landing yards from Hoops goalkeeper Fraser Forster.
