The Green Brigade section of Celtic Park is to reopen, the club announced today.
The area section 111 in the North East lower corner of the stadium is to reopen to season ticket holders on Sunday when the club play Motherwell.
In a statement on Celtic's official website, the club said: "The reopening follows a period of positive discussions with former Season Ticket holders within the section, during which it has been agreed that the safety of spectators must always be of paramount importance and that the reputation of the Club and its supporters must be protected at all times.
"As is the case with all fans attending Celtic Park, compliance with ground regulations, competition rules and the law must be observed.
"Celtic considers this move to represent significant progress in fan engagement and acknowledge the role played by supporters from the Section who have agreed to work with the Club to provide positive backing for the team in a safe environment, with further agreements in place that any breaches will result in a review of Section usage.
"The Club was instrumental in establishing this section for supporters and we look forward to working together to ensure its long-term success in providing strong positive backing for Celtic manager Ronny Deila and the team."
