A banner calling for Mark Hargreaves to leave Celtic was spotted during Liverpool’s Champions League clash with PSG on Tuesday night.
The message, which has been seen regularly at Celtic matches this season, appeared among supporters inside Anfield. It is the same banner that has cropped up both home and away, often displayed within sections associated with organised fan groups.

The banner was spotted in the PSG end, where ultras have a well-known friendship with Celtic supporters groups, which may help explain how it travelled.
The banner itself is not new. It has been visible at Celtic Park and at away grounds throughout the campaign, reflecting ongoing tension between parts of the support and the club’s operations side.
The situation around Hargreaves has been building throughout the season. Supporters have raised issues around matchday handling and communication, and banners have become a clear way of showing that.
Up to now, those displays have mostly been seen at Celtic games. Seeing the same message at a Champions League match elsewhere shows how the feeling has carried beyond that.
It also shows how organised supporter groups work. Messages are repeated, taken to different grounds, and kept visible over time rather than appearing once and fading out.

The situation sits alongside a season where most of the focus has been on results and the title race. Off-field matters tend to come into view when they appear in places like this.
For Celtic, seeing the banner outside Hoops games does not change anything directly, but it does show the issue is still being talked about among sections of the support.
