Celtic FC, in a timely boost both on and off the pitch, have confirmed the return of their vocal supporters group, the Green Brigade, ahead of their Premiership showdown with St Mirren.
The development comes after the group’s suspension, imposed in November following an incident during a 4-0 win over Falkirk, was officially lifted.
As the title race intensifies, the decision arrives at a crucial stage, with Celtic pushing to close the gap at the top of the table.
“The club is pleased to confirm that a route has been found to lift the suspension of the Green Brigade with effect from Saturday’s game against St Mirren,” a statement on Celtic’s website read.
“On March 27th, at a meeting of Glasgow City Council Safety Advisory Group, the club again addressed the suspension on the Green Brigade.
“The SAG confirmed that it did not object to the suspension being lifted, subject to three conditions being satisfied.
“These were that all applicable policies will be adhered to, including season ticket terms and conditions; agreement that members will comply with the safety and security operations; recognition that a match-by-match report will be submitted to the Safety Advisory Group, for as long as they deem it necessary.
“We communicated this to the Green Brigade and asked for their unconditional acceptance. They have today responded positively by accepting these conditions, as outlined.”
As momentum builds toward the final stretch of the season, Celtic find themselves in a tightly contested race: sitting three points behind leaders Hearts and just two adrift of rivals Rangers.
With every fixture now carrying extra weight, the return of a unified and energized Celtic Park could prove decisive.
Backing the move, interim chairman Brian Wilson stressed the importance of unity at this stage of the campaign.
“I am pleased we have reached this point where suspensions can be lifted with the agreement of Glasgow City Council Safety Advisory Group on terms which apply to supporters throughout the stadium.
“On that basis, a full and united Celtic Park can get behind the team at this crucial point in the season.”
With the Green Brigade back in the stands and the title race heating up, Celtic will be aiming to harness the renewed atmosphere as they push for a strong finish.
