Hoops ignore jibe from Green

Over the weekend the Yorkshireman made references to the Scottish champions' 125-year history while claiming clubs were struggling to sell season tickets. Green also claimed the decision of over 30 clubs to allow The Rangers to start off in the fourth tier of Scottish football was 'driven by bigotry'. But Celtic are adamant Green's statement is a matter for the Scottish football authorities to deal with. When asked for a response to the comments, a Celtic statement read: "These comments are not worthy of any response from Celtic FC. ''We presume the matter would now be one for the Scottish Football Association and the Scottish Football League to deal with."
