href=\"https:\/\/www.67hailhail.com\/club\/owners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Celtic board<\/a> to leave.<\/p>\n<p>It caused plenty of debate online, with supporters unsure if the group were actually there.<\/p>\n<p>@stokebhoy asked: \u201cThought green brigade were on a ban?\u201d to which @84_IDAG replied with a shrugging shoulders emoji.<\/p>\n<blockquote
