The banner, which was displayed over two tiers, read: “To keep Celtic down you will have to deport the whole Fenian Army that gives them support”.

Last August, the same fan group directed their attention towards then-Celtic defender, Dedryck Boyata, unveiling a banner during a home game against Hamilton stating that the Belgian was ‘not fit to wear the jersey’ following an acrimonious transfer saga.
