The tensions between Celtic’s board and the Green Brigade remain at boiling point, but the group found some respite over the weekend as they made their presence felt away from the restrictions of first-team fixtures.
Two games into their six-match ban from Celtic Park, Green Brigade members, along with the Bhoys Celtic group, travelled to Fife to watch Celtic B take on Cowdenbeath in the Lowland League.
Their arrival brought colour, noise and pyro to Central Park, even delaying kick-off, and anti-banners were displayed before the match and again at half-time.
With access to away tickets becoming harder and the atmosphere around the first team increasingly hostile amid the boardroom civil war, Saturday offered the ultras a rare chance to support Celtic without interference.
On Monday morning, the Green Brigade summed up their feelings in a short statement on X, saying:
“With the increasing difficulty to access away tickets, collective bans and an all round hostile environment towards supporters at most matches, the Celtic ultras scene attended Cowdenbeath v Celtic B on Saturday which was a welcome relief from the typical matchday experience.”

The club’s dispute with the group shows no sign of easing but for one afternoon, the ultras enjoyed a glimpse of matchday life without restrictions, scrutiny or confrontation.
Where Celtic go from here is a tough one.
The board members don’t seem like shifting, and fans are protesting to get them removed from their positions.
Celtic’s AGM showed that the two groups, quite literally, can’t be in the same room as each other.
The statement from Ross Desmond was mind-blowing, and the way he delivered it goes to show just how detached he is from reality.

Fantastic news!
The wee neds should keep going to the B team games and leave the first team games to the real fans who dont need pyros to support Celtic.
Why would anyone think that bringing illegal pyros and causing kick offs to be delayed, is a cause for celebration?
Inconvenience for the players and other fans but, hey, who cares about them eh?
Has anyone verified whether any Cowdenbeath staff were assaulted when they were asked to pay for admission?
Well said Terry
the wee neds seem to think they can be as aggresive and disruptive as they like but as soo as the club or another fan has another opinion they either bully and intimidate them or claim they are the victims
if it was me id ban them for life rip out their “standing” section and put seats back in
id also give those seats to schools and special needs organisations, we used to be a family club, and the atmosphere at times was beter that it is under the green brigades regime
Ahhhh, the happy clappers have clambered back out of Ross Desmonds arsehole.
Happy Monday lickspittles
Probably Lawwell plants but if not, most certainly clowns.
Terry and Eddie… A right couple of pricks you two are eh!
Cowdenbeath stated they were happy with the fans and especially the revenue.
No doubt you will be happy sitting in silence at the next home game as I know from experience most pricks like you sit on your hands the whole game groaning at every missed pass.
Micky, tell us all who you & your regime have lined up to run the club if your brilliant plan comes to fruition, you’ll be dancing in the dark to a bunch of Yanks, investment banks & a Craig White ffs, grow up and be real supporters, Get a Grip,,,
Time someone spoke out against protesters. Their resonse says all.
