Green Brigade React to Another Successful Trial of The Celtic End

Celtic FC Women showcased a determined effort in the UEFA Women’s Champions League last night, despite a narrow 2-1 loss to Chelsea.

In a historic moment for the team, Murphy Agnew scored Celtic’s first-ever goal in this elite comPetition, after she gave the Hoops the lead in the first half.

The match at Celtic Park was also remarkable for the return of The Celtic End, which saw significant numbers gather to support the team, echoing through the Jock Stein Stand.

The reintroduction of The Celtic End comes amid discussions about expanding safe-standing areas at the stadium. This initiative has received considerable support from fans, as demonstrated by the presence and vocal support during the Champions League fixture.

Following the match, North Curve Celtic, a collective of supporters, took to social media to renew their call for permanent goal-end standing sections.

Their post highlighted the palpable impact and ongoing demand for such a section, urging the club to consider the recent fan survey results and continue discussions on enhancing fan engagement at Celtic Park.

The posted on X: “The Celtic End returned to Celtic Park to back the Ghirls in a spirited European performance. Once again, the demand for and impact of a goal-end standing section was evidenced. Fans patiently await the results of the recent survey and engagement with the club on the issue.”

The final decisions will greatly depend on the preferences of those who regularly occupy the Jock Stein stand, some of whom may have reservations about the proposed changes.
