Brendan Rodgers welcomes imminent return of the Green Brigade to Celtic Park
The ultras fan group have reached agreement with the club after a six week suspension
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has welcomed the imminent return of the Green Brigade to Parkhead.
The ultras fan group have reached agreement with the club after being banned for a number of weeks and will be back in the stadium for Saturday's visit of Livingston.
Rodgers said: "Celtic's history is littered with late goals and a big part of that is down to the fans and the whole stadium getting behind the team. That's what makes Celtic.
"When you have the manager, the supporters and the players all on the same page it's a real force."
A spokesperson for Celtic said: "Following consultation with the group, the club has now implemented an updated rail seating safety code of conduct which has been accepted by the group, allowing for a return to a situation where rules and regulations around operating safely are respected and complied with."
The Green Brigade were initially suspended by the club on October 31 due to ‘unacceptable conduct’ that led to 'serious safety concerns'.
The use of pyrotechnics, forced entry to stadiums and both unsafe and abusive behaviour towards staff were cited as reasons for the ban.
The section of supporters have not attended any matches since then.
Celtic are currently just two points ahead of Rangers in the league after suffering back-to-back Premiership losses for the first time in a decade.
They host Livingston at 3pm tomorrow.
