Following the exclusion of the Green Brigade and Union Bears from Sunday’s Glasgow Derby, CeltsAreHere understands that Celtic had no role in barring the Green Brigade from entering Celtic Park.

Earlier reports confirmed that both sets of ultras were denied access, with the Green Brigade halted on London Road by police and the Union Bears marched away from the stadium before kick-off. Social media was flooded with images of heavy police presence and blockades, with fans demanding answers as to why these groups were prevented from attending.

Sources close to CeltsAreHere have made it clear that Celtic had no hand in stopping the Green Brigade from entering the ground. The situation was entirely handled by Police Scotland, who have yet to provide a full explanation for their actions.

A large gap in the North Curve section throughout the 90 minutes highlighted the absence of the Green Brigade. On the Rangers side, the Union Bears were also refused entry, despite gathering at their agreed meeting point as instructed.

With neither club directly involved in barring their own fan groups, attention now turns to Police Scotland for an explanation. Supporters will be demanding clarity on why these measures were taken and whether similar actions will be enforced in future fixtures.
