The Green Brigade chose not to attend James Forrest’s testimonial match on Tuesday night, as Celtic took on Athletic Club.
The James Forrest Testimonial followed the Scott Brown Testimonial as the second prominent player tribute that the group chose to skip.
The Green Brigade don’t attend testimonials.
The Green Brigade’s conspicuous absence at these testimonials has sparked off a wave of speculation and light-hearted ribbing on social media.
However, there’s a certain irony here – a fan group known for their passionate support of Celtic deciding not to attend matches that celebrate Celtic’s most dedicated players.
No doubt, the fan group will be back in their section for Flag Day, as Celtic look to defend all three domestic trophies. The atmosphere they create is invaluable and they do act as the 12th man at times, and the team clearly get a boost from the support.
It’ll be interesting to see what sort of reaction Brendan Rodgers receives, with the group voicing their disapproval of his appointment when the club announced his return.
