Celtic ultras boycott non-Premiership matches amid board dispute
Summary

The Green Brigade, a Celtic ultras group, plans to boycott all Celtic non-Premiership matches. This decision follows growing tensions between the fans and the club's board, particularly around the influence of major shareholder Dermot Desmond. The group claims a significant disconnect exists between supporters and club leadership. In response to protests against Desmond, the club threatened indefinite bans for involved individuals and has ceased recognizing the Celtic Fans Collective as a representative entity. The Green Brigade condemned the club's recent statements as attacks on supporters.
