Police lift a ban preventing fans from bringing flags and banners to Celtic's Boxing day match against St Johnstone.

St Johnstone have confirmed that police have lifted a ban on flags for their Boxing Day clash with Celtic.

Police Scotland had forced the ban after Celtic fans caused trouble in their previous away match against Motherwell earlier this month.

A statement on the club's website said: "Further discussion has today taken place between all parties and a request from the clubs made to Police Scotland that the ban be lifted has been accepted.

"Safety remains of paramount importance to both clubs and the match will be managed with this in mind.

"With Police Scotland having reviewed this policy, the two clubs are now putting their faith in all supporters that they shall support their respective teams in a manner which befits what should be a great game of football on a special date in the football calendar."

Police believed that supporters had used banners and flags to hide the lighting of flares.
