The Green Brigade have unveiled a display prior to the Celtic vs Hamilton clash that says “Boyata – Not Fit To Wear The Jersey”.

It comes after the Belgian defender was selected for today’s encounter by manager Brendan Rodgers.
With both Jozo Simunovic and Jack Hendry injured for the Scottish Premiership encounter against Accies, the manager was almost forced into the selection of Boyata, but it wasn’t a decision that went down particularly well with supporters.
The Green Brigade appear to be particularly irked by the recent goings on involving the defender which has seen him sit out of a number of crucial matches with a mysterious self-declared injury after the club rejected a transfer offer from Fulham.
So far during the match the response to Boyata seems mixed with some jeers, some support and the majority of the crowd not really seeming to care about the entire saga.
Can he produce the kind of performance that gets fans back on side? Or is his Celtic career as good as over?
