Rock Legend Rod Stewart was loudly booed by Celtic's ultras as he entered Parkhead prior to the Hoops' fixture against Motherwell this afternoon.

The musician fired back with an obscene gesture as he made it clear the feelings of antipathy on display were mutual.

Stewart had previously criticised elements of the Celtic support and some fans outside the ground, including the Green Brigade, made their feelings known as he walked past.

The 78-year-old has also expressed support for the Conservative Party in the past which led to some supporters aiming foul-mouthed anti-Tory chants at the singer.

You can watch the moment in the video below. It contains bad language.

The Green Brigade remain banned from attending home and away fixtures due to what the club chiefs have called an "increasingly serious escalation in unacceptable behaviours and non-compliance with applicable regulations".

However, the group, along with other supporters clubs, gathered outside Parkhead for what they have called a "day of action"

The North Curve section's official X account had previously confirmed the group would be outside the stadium before the fixture to show support for Brendan Rodgers' men.

In a statement earlier this month, the Green Brigade confirmed their plans.

It read: "Following the latest reworked statement from the PLC board, we would like to address a few brief points. 

"We see little value in continuing this online game of statement tennis which was initiated by the PLC board, and which it continues to draw out by repeating the same disingenuous claims that we have already addressed.

"We note that the PLC board claims to be open to dialogue and engagement. We remind them that we have been waiting for a meeting with Chief Executive Officer Michael Nicholson since the summer.

"The planned summer meeting was originally postponed until September to allow focus on transfer activity.

"We await satisfactory progress on both fronts and remain open to constructive dialogue moving forward.

"Should our own situation not be satisfactorily resolved by Celtic vs Motherwell, 25/11/23, we will organise a day of action at this match.

"We will liaise with all interested Celtic fans, fan groups and CSCs in the lead up to this date."
