Livingston FC today released a statement about the Green Brigade’s outstanding tifo displays at the Tony Macaroni stadium on Sunday afternoon after the Celtic support filled three sides of their stadium.
The West Lothian side complain that while they gave permission to the Easter Rising tifo they did not agree to the second display which read: “Hold on to our title Bhoys, don’t give up the dream’. And they also had a moan about a group of school children from the United States turning up on an arranged trip wearing Celtic colours.
Presumably they must reckon that the Livingston support in bigger across the pond that it is in Livingston, although that wouldn’t be hard. Here’s what Livingston FC have had to say about the outstanding visual effects from the Green Brigade on Easter Sunday, via their official website:
“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 You”.
“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.
