Match The Fine For Palestine>
At the Champions League match with Hapoel Beer Sheva on 17 August 2016, the Green Brigade and fans throughout Celtic Park flew the flag for Palestine. This act of solidarity has earned Celtic respect and acclaim throughout the world. It has also attracted a disciplinary charge from UEFA, which deems the Palestinian flag to be an ‘illicit banner’.

Green Brigade statement 17-10-15>
The Green Brigade today worked in unison with the ‘Heavy Hands, Empty Stands’ campaign of Motherwell supporters to highlight our shared concern regarding the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act 2012. The SNP have reneged on their promise to fully review the OBAF Act whilst Police Scotland have actively sought to prevent dissent against it, however this is merely the beginning of a renewed campaign for the immediate repeal of this legislation.
Bethlehem2Belfast>
Bethlehem2Belfast was born from an idea that would challenge the restrictions of movement imposed on Palestinians. Whilst we have shown solidarity in the stands and held political education nights on Palestine we believed more could be done to challenge the occupation using football as a vehicle.

Monthly Update - March 2015>
The end of February saw some of our members fly out to support the team in Milan. Despite the result, it was an excellent couple of days. Others extended the trip a bit longer and were kind enough to do a rather extensive write up that makes for a very interesting read.

Green Brigade Cup Final Tifo vs Dundee United 2015>
As is to be expected the Green Brigade have prepared a tifo for Sunday's Cup Final to help mark the occasion and hopefully inspire both the team and support to get off to a flyer for what will hopefully be the first of many trophies under Ronny Deila.
Monthly Update - February 2015>
February has been a busy month for the Green Brigade and it started against a strange team but with unfortunately familiar fans. This was, of course, Celtic’s first encounter with Sevco - the comedy act we know to be parodying the now defunct Rangers. Cruising to a comfortable victory Celtic secured a place in the League Cup final where we now await Dundee Utd on the 15th March.
Anti Discrimination Tournament Summary>
The Green Brigade would like to thank all who tuned out at Glenconner Park, Garngad, on Saturday and contributed to what was a fantastic community event. For 6 years we have been hosting a football tournament which aims to challenge intolerances and bring together the Celtic community and various minority groups through football, food and banter. We are proud and humbled to see our small project blossom over the years, culminating in Saturday’s event which was definitely our biggest and best to date.
