The ultras group wanted to create a tifo in the North Curve of Celtic Park for the penultimate home game of the season.
The Green Brigade claimed on social media that Celtic have not met with them in person since November 2023.
Unfortunately, the club has refused tomorrow's NCC tifo. This is a continued sanction due to the Green Brigade's 'Red Card' and Bik McFarlane tifos.

This comes as Brendan Rodgers' side are set to face the Leith team at home, with the Celtic manager acknowledging the challenge posed by Hibs' recent form.
Rodgers said: "I've been very, very impressed.
"I think that it was obviously very difficult for David and his team and for the club right through until November.
"It's actually been like a reverse of Aberdeen really.
"Aberdeen had that brilliant start and then the second part of the season for Jimmy and that has been a little bit more challenging.
"For David it was the reverse of that, challenging in the first part.
"Since he changed his system in November, they went back five, and that structure has really, really helped the team.
"The players you always clearly could see they believed in him as a coach and as a manager but weren't getting the results at the beginning of the season.
"But then they had and then it went on a fantastic run.
"And in all fairness, when we played them back in the cup game a number of weeks back, they arrived in that moment in a really, really good place.
"However, we played a really good game that day and we know we need to play another really good game because, like you say, they have targets they want to achieve in these last three games.
"We also have targets.
"We're at home also and we want to bring our level of game and it should be a fantastic football match."

Ange Postecoglou's chances of being next Scotland manager rated as he's tipped to join Euro giants after Spurs sacking
ANGE Postecoglou remains an available man since his departure from Tottenham Hotspur last week. The former Celtic manager was sacked by Spurs after finishing 17th in the Premier League, despite winning the Europa League to claim the club's first major trophy in 17 years. Advertisement 2 Ange Postecoglou was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur last week Credit: PA 2 He'd just won the Europa League against Manchester United Credit: Getty The London side are looking likely to appoint Brentford boss Thomas Frank to replace the Australian, but what's next for him? AceOdds have unveiled their odds on where the 59-year-old might find himself next, with a few surprising shouts. Pressure is growing on Steve Clarke after a dismal Hampden performance against Iceland, with only an injury hampered friendly against Liechtenstein tonight to make up for it. And the probability of Postecoglou landing the Scotland job sits at 6/1. Advertisement Only two dugout roles are rated more likely for him, the first being a Socceroos return at 5/1. He won the AFC Asian Cup with his home country and managed at the 2014 World Cup, but resigned before Russia 2018. The favourite however is a 3/1 shout for Ange to takeover the Greek giants AEK Athens. The 13-time league winners finished fourth this season as Olympiacos ran away with it. Advertisement A Celtic return isn't rated too unlikely at 10/1, despite Brendan Rodgers showing no signs of leaving after a comfortable League and League Cup double. However, the Northern Irishman has come under scrutiny from supporters for losing key matches including Old Firm derbies and the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen to sink the treble. Who could replace Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham manager? The Aussie was a favourite at Parkhead between 2021 and 2023, with his five major titles earning him the huge EPL move. In a bizarre call, Glasgow rivals Rangers are on the list of potential options at 33/1. Advertisement Ibrox bosses just last week appointed former Southampton gaffer Russell Martin on a three-year contract. Another unlikely side listed amongst possibilities for Postecoglou is the England national team. The Three Lions have only played a handful of matches under relatively new head coach Thomas Tuchel who took over from Gareth Southgate at the start of the year. Several other clubs down south are named as options as well as the potential of joining 'any Saudi Pro League club'. Advertisement Ange Postecoglou Next Permanent Club AceOdds accurate to 9/6/25 AEK Athens 3/1 Australia 5/1 Scotland 6/1 Leicester 8/1 Ipswich 10/1 Celtic 10/1 Any Saudi Pro League Club 12/1 Man United 16/1 Leeds 25/1 West Ham 28/1 Rangers 33/1 England 50/1 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Celtic star ‘to leave within 48 hours' despite Brendan Rodgers' efforts to keep him
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GREG TAYLOR will END his six-year spell Celtic in the next 48 hours, according to reports. SunSport understands that Taylor has been considering a contract offer from Greek giants PAOK. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 2 Greg Taylor looks to have played his last game for Celtic Credit: Alamy 2 He won a total of 11 trophies whilst at Parkhead Credit: Kenny Ramsay Scotland cap Taylor, 27, has been at Parkhead for six seasons after joining from Kilmarnock in a £1m deal on transfer deadline day in 2019. He was signed under Neil Lennon after Kieran Tierney had left for Arsenal that summer. And with the Hoops icon poised to officially return to his boyhood heroes in the coming weeks, Taylor will be heading out the door. According to The Celtic Way, Taylor's exit will be finalised within the next 48 hours. The Celtic left-back had several options to mull over as his contract with the Hoops ran down. PAOK emerged as serious contenders for Taylor and drew up a two-year deal, with an option for a further 12 months. PAOK technical director Christos Karipidis - the former Hearts defender - is driving the move. Karipidis is a big fan of the Hoops star and has been desperate to lure him to Thessaloniki. It's understood that Taylor, who recently became a father for the first time, needed time to assess the move after six years at Celtic. However PAOK didn't want to wait indefinitely and there have been other clubs in the mix for the left-back. Rangers fans react as 49ers takeover completed But now he looks set to embark on the next chapter of his career in Greece. Brendan Rodgers has always retained hope his full-back would stay and his Parkhead exit has yet to be confirmed. PAOK finished third in the Greek Super League last season and qualified for the Europa League, which they will enter at the third qualifying round stage. Dinamo Zagreb were the first club to be linked to Taylor and interest from MLS soon followed. He was even tipped for a blockbuster move to Rangers by SunSport's Kris Boyd at one point. If - or when - Taylor seals his move to Greece, he could soon find himself coming up against former boss Ange Postecoglou. The ex-Celtic manager is listed at 3/1 to join AEK Athens after being sacked by Tottenham Hotspur last week. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
