Frustrated Livingston chiefs have slammed the Green Brigade over"unapproved banners" in the match against Celtic.
Instead, the club granted permission for a tifo and banner in the South Stand Only. The matter was discussed in a pre-match meeting with club representatives, Celtic FC, Amberstone stewarding company and an SPFL delegate.However, Livingston have stated the banner was let into the ground"unchecked" through an emergency gate and against the instruction of the club and police.
"Prior to this fixture, a visiting supporters group called “The Green Brigade”, via the Celtic SLO, requested a Tifo display in all three stands allocated to the Celtic support and to have a banner displayed along the front of the East Stand. The banner was to read “You Play for Us and We’ll Sing for You”.
"Against the instruction of the club and police, the banner was allowed into the ground, unchecked, through an emergency gate that was opened due to safety concerns. The banner was then displayed along the front of the East Stand – again, against the agreed procedure. Celtic supporters commemorated the Easter Rising in a display before kick-off with a display featuring the lyrics from Freedom's Sons alongside the faces of seven prominent figures - who were executed for their involvement - in the Irish uprising against British rule.
