Celtic ban fan group the ‘Green Brigade’ after Palestine support
Celtic have banned the Green Brigade from home matches after the prominent fan group defied the club’s request by displaying Palestine flags at last week’s Champions League game against Atletico Madrid. An email to supporters in the standing section has been published on social media showing that Celtic have suspended season tickets for those who have registered with the ticket office as being part of the ‘ultras’ group, who were already banned from away games as a result of a number of incidents this season. Wary of further Uefa disciplinary action, Celtic had asked fans not to bring any flags associated with the Middle East conflict ahead of facing Atletico at Celtic Park last Wednesday - but thousands defied the club’s appeal. An email leaked on social media shows Celtic cited "repeated incidents of unacceptable conduct involving the ‘Green Brigade’ group". The ban is pending further review and communication with the fans’ group. Celtic have been fined by Uefa twice this season for displays linked to the Green Brigade section - a pyrotechnic show away at Rotterdam and an "anti-fascist" banner which, according to the European governing body, contained a "provocative message of an offensive nature" towards Lazio. Other issues apparently cited by Celtic include "rushing turnstiles" at Fir Park, "illegally gained access" ahead of the Lazio match and "unauthorised banners" plus behaviour towards stewards. A Celtic spokesperson said: "To avoid any misunderstanding, the progressive steps taken by the club over a period of time are as a result of an increasingly serious escalation in unacceptable behaviours and non-compliance with applicable regulations, at matches at Celtic Park and away grounds over a period of time, which are creating serious safety concerns and other issues."

Manchester United kit ‘too tight’ as players forced to wear replicas
Manchester United players are reportedly wearing replica items of kit during matches this season after players complained the official version was “too tight”. United goalkeeper Andre Onana is said to have found the Adidas performance model to be uncomfortable, according to the Telegraph, after it was designed to be a closer fit than the replica shirts available from the club shop. The £47m summer signing has therefore been wearing a looser version in recent matches, while United’s outfielders have also been wearing non-branded socks since August because players have found they are too tight. United’s players last wore the official black socks with club emblem in the 2-0 defeat to Tottenham and the first-team squad have since been wearing an unofficial Adidas version with no club branding. Some players have also taken to cutting holes in the back of the socks this season because they have too tight around their calves. The Daily Mail reported that Adidas are planning to make minor adjustments to the kit’s design. It comes after Aston Villa and Newcastle experienced problems with the kit provided by their shirt manufacturer Castore earlier this season. Villa’s players reportedly experienced discomfort while wearing the club’s home kit earlier this season after a design issue left the shirts heavy with moisture.
