Celtic now know their route to securing the Premiership title following the release of the post-split fixtures.

Martin O’Neill is going to need all the help he can get to win title number 56 for Celtic, and that includes from the stands as the Green Brigade are back in town.

Celtic confirmed the Green Brigade’s return, starting with St Mirren at the weekend, and Danny Murphy hit the nail on the head regarding the impact they have on supporters inside the stadium after Simon Jordan’s dismissive comments.

Jordan: “How many fans is it? 200? Come on?!”

Jim White: “Oh no, they are lively.”

Murphy: “It’s also the ripple effect of a certain group. You see it at Palace as a great example. It does spread.”

Everything and anything has gone wrong at Celtic this season, and the team is deservedly sitting third in the Premiership table.

But perhaps, just perhaps, the champions of Scotland are going to get it right when it matters most.

Danny Murphy thinks Green Brigade return will have a ‘ripple effect’ at Celtic

As everyone would have seen, Celtic have three massive post-split home games to contend with.

The last time Hearts and Rangers were at Parkhead, not only did they win, but the mood around the place was toxic and morale-sapping.

But you know it’s all going to flip on its head now, and former Liverpool midfielder Murphy completely understands how the Green Brigade’s return is going to lift everyone else around them.

Even Jim White, with his Rangers hat on, understands the ‘lively’ nature of GB, as he stated on talkSPORT.

White: “Celtic have three home matches against Falkirk, Rangers, and on the final day, Hearts. Is it not the case that the board have said, ‘We kind of need a bit of that.'”

Jordan: “How many fans is it? 200? Come on?!”

White: “Oh no, they are lively.”

Murphy: “It’s also the ripple effect of a certain group. You see it at Palace as a great example. It does spread.

“Maybe that went into the thinking. Maybe it’s nothing to do with it. It certainly, as a player, you don’t really care that they behave a bit better than them. You want the stadium full of the most passionate fans you have got, so I think it could be a small percentage win, yes.”
