should mix has raged in the past fortnight as the stand-off between Celtic and the Green Brigade ultras group over the display of pro-Palestinian banners at Parkhead has intensified.
The more partisan among them, though, vehemently disagree with the declaration that Celtic is “not a political organisation” and appear set to wilfully disregard the edict that “political messages and banners are not welcome” going forward.A statement which the Green Brigade released this week said: “We have the right to express political views on the terraces, just as ordinary citizens do elsewhere in society.
But it is, particularly at this present moment, a complex, divisive and emotive issue. It is no wonder that Celtic have distanced themselves from their actions. Photographs of policemen and women at stadiums around the country have been plastered on the social networking website in what has been described as a “perfectly legal defence tactic of documenting officers perceived to be intimidating, aggravating or harassing supporters” by the person or persons responsible.
