The Green Brigade will be back at Celtic Park this weekend for the first time since November.
The ultras group was banned following "violent and threatening behaviour" at a home match against Falkirk in late October, and the suspension was extended at the start of December because of "safety incidents".
With the club involved in a gripping Scottish Premiership title race, fans will be hopeful that the group's return can help spur on Celtic.
Martin O'Neill's side currently sit third in the league, three points off top spot. With city rivals Rangers and Hearts set to visit Parkhead after the split, the support could play a crucial role in their pursuit of another top-tier triumph.
The Herald's Stephen McGowan believes the lift is "an attempt to unify" the supporters and the club, but he is not convinced it will be enough to bring everyone together.
Speaking to the BBC’s Scottish Football Podcast, he said: “Whether it’ll work or not remains to be seen. Obviously, that depends on results.
"I mean, the Green Brigade are coming back and being told to behave this time, but they're still demanding an apology from the Celtic board.
"So I think it will take more than a simple return of 250 fans, whatever the number is, to bring unity back to Celtic.
"I think it will take a run to the end of the season, which so far has been beyond them in terms of results and performances. But they've given themselves a chance.
"The fact that they have four home games gives them a real chance of being right in there at the finish, at the death."
