A coordinated fan protest calling for a “fairer deal for supporters” made its presence felt across the country this weekend, with banners appearing at grounds in the Premiership and Championship.

The Green Brigade unveiled a message during Celtic’s 3-1 win over Hibernian, demanding fairer pricing for match-going fans. While many inside the stadium may have viewed it as a standalone message, it has since emerged the protest was part of a nationwide action involving fan groups from clubs including Dundee, Kilmarnock, and Partick Thistle.

The Green Brigade have tonight shared a graphic on social media setting out the basis of the movement. It highlights rising ticket costs, heavy-handed policing, and a growing sense that fans—despite being the lifeblood of the game—are being priced out and treated as expendable.

Celtic are among several top-flight clubs set to raise season ticket prices for the upcoming campaign. While the club points to increasing costs and investment needs, many supporters argue that the game is drifting away from its working-class roots. With Scottish football continuing to boast some of the highest per-capita attendances in Europe, the call from fans is simple: don’t take our loyalty for granted.

The statement shared by the Green Brigade reads: “Fans have been treated as passive financial contributors, rather than as valued stakeholders. Ultras groups across Scotland recognise that there is a need for action and have begun coordinating on these issues.”

Supporter-run foodbanks, mental health initiatives and vibrant matchday displays are all championed as evidence of the value fans bring. Yet with clubs increasingly reliant on squeezing revenue from their own support, this protest signals a wider reckoning.

In a rare show of unity, fan groups have set rivalries aside to highlight a shared concern: that football is becoming less accessible for the very people who give it life.
