Maloney’s Green Brigade Comment Piles Pressure on Celtic Board

Celtic assistant Shaun Maloney has called for unity and noted that senior club figures must resolve the ongoing dispute with the Green Brigade. Speaking ahead of Thursday's Europa League fixture against Celta Vigo, Maloney stepped in for Martin O’Neill, who was absent due to a personal matter. The Green Brigade is scheduled to continue its boycott of home cup matches as Celtic seek their first points in the group stage.

Maloney emphasized the vital impact a fully united Celtic Park has on player performances, referencing the electric atmosphere from the end of last season. While acknowledging the issue needs resolution from key leadership, he stated his immediate focus remains on preparing the squad for a crucial European match following defeats to Ferencvaros and Benfica.
