North Curve Celtic Confirm Green Brigade Foodbank Collection

North Curve Celtic posted this pertinent reminder on their social media channels today and to many it will act as a reminder to the great work that the Green Brigade do to respect the founding principles of Celtic football club…

They stated: “Despite being banned from the match, the Green Brigade foodbank collection will go ahead as planned before Celtic v Hearts on Sunday 7 December. Please give what you can to support those in need across our communities, particularly in the run up to Christmas and harsher winter months.”

The Green Brigade are currently serving a six match ban imposed by the club after they claimed that an assault had happened in the concourse at the North Curve during the Falkirk match last month. Police Scotland last week raided the homes of three Green Brigade members and we know that one has subsequently been charged with an alleged breach of the peace offence, NOT an assault as the Supporters Update post on the official CELTIC FC website had called it.

There’s also a perception that it’s the Green Brigade who are behind the Celtic Fans Collective – an narrative that the Celtic board appears to have pushed over the past few weeks and also at the AGM last week, where Dermot Desmond’s son Ross was allowed to launch from the top table an all out attack on Celtic supporters in general and the Green Brigade in particular.

The Green Brigade are in actual fact just one of over 400 Celtic organisations – including all the major Celtic supporters organisations, including CSA, AICSC and Affiliation, hundreds of individual CSCs plus just about all of the Celtic fan media sites, who form the Celtic Fans Collective.

Look, the Green Brigade can annoy other supporters on occasion there is no denying that but older fans should remember their own youthful endeavours following Celtic, standing in the Jungle or maybe running onto the pitch at Hampden in 1980 that saw the alcohol ban at football that stands to this day (although there are trials now happening at Aberdeen and St Johnstone that could bring it to an end). The Green Brigade weren’t around to have caused that, it was perhaps some the grey brigade now only too eager to criticise!

A happier Celtic, a united Celtic as Callum McGregor called it on Saturday night, is one where there is no exclusions of supporters’ groups. There seems to have been ongoing talks between the club and the ultras over the years but these invariably break down with both sides blaming the other and everyone else thinking it’s somewhat tiresome.

Perhaps there needs to be an independent panel that could convene regularly to regulate the situation between the two, establishing areas of agreement and red-line situations that should result in sanctions. Neither the club nor the ultras, if all parties are acting in good faith – which they all should – could possibly have an issue with this suggestion surely?

But if anyone thinks that there should be blame for the current protests then it is completely wrong to conveniently target the Green Brigade – perhaps as someone else described it, thinking that they are cutting the head of the snake – when they have over 400 Celtic supporters organisations just as much to blame.

We’ll certainly be contributing to the Green Brigade’s foodbank collection – as we always do- and as many thousands of Celtic fans will on the Sunday 7 December. And as already stated, their charity work is constant and it is outstanding and at times like this is worthy of a wee reminder.

Despite being banned from the match, the Green Brigade foodbank collection will go ahead as planned before Celtic v Hearts on Sun 7 Dec. Please give what you can to support those in need across our communities, particularly in the run up to Christmas and harsher winter months.
