THE Green Brigade have issued an apology to fellow Celtic supporters for “regrettably impacting” their matchday experiences.
The Celtic fans’ group have released a statement on social media taking responsibility for recent incidents both at Parkhead and away games.

It’s unclear what the statement is officially referring to but they have admitted they will be more considerate towards the rest of the fanbase with their displays and actions going forward.
Several punters believe the statement is in response to their decision to unveil their ‘Show Israel The Red Card’ banner at Celtic Park for the first leg of the Champions League play-off with Bayern Munich.
Fans sitting in the section were unable to watch the action at the start of the second half after the huge banner was unfurled during the break and wasn’t taken down when the game got back underway.
Footage from Munich the following week also showed there was a violent encounter in the Celtic end during the return leg.
Celtic fans were captured fighting each other in a section of the Allianz Arena which was decked out in Green Brigade flags and banners.
The latest statement from the fans’ group read: “In recent weeks, we have created incidents at matches that have regrettably impacted the experience of other supporters.
“These incidents have then been made worse by our poor handling of the situations.
“We would like to take this opportunity to apologise to all fans impacted by our conduct. We acknowledge that our support style isn’t to everyone’s preference.
“Going forward, we will be more mindful of this and be more respectful to other supporters.”
