Green Brigade unveil 'Fenian army' banner as Celtic get their season underway

The Green Brigade have unfurled a banner claiming their 'Fenian army' will have have to be deported to stop Celtic .

The supporters group unveiled the display before kick-off, draped over two tiers, before their Premiership opener against St Johnstone at Parkhead.

Neil Lennon 's side are on the hunt for a ninth consecutive title and fans flocked to Parkhead to salute their heroes in their season opener.

And the Green Brigade delivered a strongly-worded message before kick-off.

It read: "To keep Celtic down you will have to keep the whole Fenian army that gives them strength."

The supporters group earned widespread praise for their classy tribute to club icon Billy McNeill after his passing and their tifo's on European nights have hit the spot.

But a paramilitary-style tribute to former boss Brendan Rodgers earned the club a £20,500 fine from UEFA for the illicit display before kick-off against Linfield.

You can follow all the action from the Hoops' Premiership curtain raiser against Tommy Wright's Saints via our LIVE blog.
