"Club 1872 has today written to the Rangers board requesting that they ban Celtic supporters from Ibrox until Celtic can prove they have taken substantive action against the Green Brigade and other overtly sectarian elements within their support. "The Green Brigade has been cultivated, encouraged and rewarded by Peter Lawwell and the Celtic board for many years. So much so that at the beginning of this year they received their own standing section within Celtic Park. This is despite regular displays in support of active terrorist groups, anti-Semitic displays and sectarian displays.https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/775446162279202816 Celtic, who are preparing to face Barcelona at the Nou Camp in their opening Champions League tie of the season, have responded to the criticism of their fans from the Rangers board by essentially refusing to be drawn on the events. "Celtic will not become involved in a tit for tat spat regarding all events at Celtic Park on Saturday," a club statement reads.
"We will deal with all issues arising in a proper and professional manner in line with our well established policies." "Saturday was a fantastic event for the club and our fans worldwide. We thank the overwhelming majority of our supporters for the positive backing they gave to the team and for making this such a great occasion."The GAA Hour took their show on the road to Castlebar to preview the All-Ireland final with Colm Parkinson, James Horan and some very special guests.
