Livingston have hit out at Celtic ultras group the Green Brigade for their “wholly and utterly unacceptable” conduct at Sunday’s Premiership clash and accused them of going against club and police advice to unveil a pre-match tifo.The West Lothian outfit claim a request for a banner in three stands was refused at an operations meeting ahead of the game but that they managed to get it into the Tony Macaroni Arena “through an emergency gate” that had been left open due to safety concerns.
Livingston posted a stinting statement on their website, saying: “There were a number of issues which arose before and during Sunday’s match with Celtic which we, as a club, feel we need to address. "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 Yoy’. This request was refused and instead, permission was granted for a Tifo and banner display in the South Stand only.“This matter was discussed at the pre-match meeting, held in the week leading up to the match, where representatives from the club, Celtic FC, Amberstone (our steward company) and a delegate from the SPFL were all present.
The agreement for a Tifo and banner display in the South Stand was understood by all in attendance.“On match-day around an hour prior to kick off, a further request for a Tifo display in all three stands was requested by the same visiting supporters group and was again refused.
