Green Brigade plan to 'welcome the team' prior to Celtic vs Motherwell

The Green Brigade have confirmed they will "welcome the Celtic team" outside Parkhead before the Scottish Premiership fixture against Motherwell on Saturday.

The ultras group, who are currently suspended from attending home and away matches due to what club chiefs have called "increasingly serious escalation in unacceptable behaviours and non-compliance with applicable regulations", had previously stated they would hold a "day of action" before the match against the Fir Park side if the issues were not resolved.

And now a post on The North Curve section's official X account has confirmed the group, along with other supporters clubs, will be on the Celtic Way prior to the weekend's fixture to show support for Brendan Rodgers' men.

In a statement earlier this month, the Green Brigade confirmed their plans. It read: "Following the latest reworked statement from the PLC board, we would like to address a few brief points. 

"We see little value in continuing this online game of statement-tennis which was initiated by the PLC board, and which it continues to draw out by repeating the same disingenuous claims that we have already addressed.

"We note that the PLC board claims to be open to dialogue and engagement. We remind them that we have been waiting for a meeting with Chief Executive Officer Michael Nicholson since the summer.

"The planned summer meeting was originally postponed until September to allow focus on transfer activity.

"We await satisfactory progress on both fronts and remain open to constructive dialogue moving forward.

"Should our own situation not be satisfactorily resolved by Celtic vs Motherwell, 25/11/23, we will organise a day of action at this match.

"We will liaise with all interested Celtic fans, fan groups and CSCs in the lead up to this date."
