Celtic have blocked the Green Brigade's plans to display a TIFO during Saturday's match against Hibernian.
The club cited "serial breaches" of the "Banner Protocol" as the reason for the refusal.

The ultras group wanted to create a tifo in the North Curve of Celtic Park for the penultimate home game of the season.
The Green Brigade claimed on social media that Celtic have not met with them in person since November 2023.
Unfortunately, the club has refused tomorrow’s NCC tifo. This is a continued sanction due to the Green Brigade’s ‘Red Card’ and Bik McFarlane tifos.

This comes as Brendan Rodgers' side are set to face the Leith team at home, with the Celtic manager acknowledging the challenge posed by Hibs' recent form.
Rodgers said: "I've been very, very impressed.
"I think that it was obviously very difficult for David and his team and for the club right through until November.
"It's actually been like a reverse of Aberdeen really.
"Aberdeen had that brilliant start and then the second part of the season for Jimmy and that has been a little bit more challenging.
"For David it was the reverse of that, challenging in the first part.
"Since he changed his system in November, they went back five, and that structure has really, really helped the team.
"The players you always clearly could see they believed in him as a coach and as a manager but weren't getting the results at the beginning of the season.
"But then they had and then it went on a fantastic run.
"And in all fairness, when we played them back in the cup game a number of weeks back, they arrived in that moment in a really, really good place.
"However, we played a really good game that day and we know we need to play another really good game because, like you say, they have targets they want to achieve in these last three games.
"We also have targets.
"We're at home also and we want to bring our level of game and it should be a fantastic football match."
