Celtic fans have – literally – been painting Glasgow green and white ahead of their side’s quest for a world record eighth domestic Treble while Hoops supporters are planning a tifo that will be the “the largest ever produced at Hampden”.
As the countdown to the 5.30pm Scottish Cup final against Inverness Caledonian Thistle continues, photos are emerging of the lengths the Parkhead legions have gone to make their mark on Glasgow ahead of what they hope will be another celebration in the city.
And it all kicked off during the night as the Rutherglen Vogue Celtic Supporters Club uploaded a video on their twitter account of them lighting up the town’s Main Street with flares and pyro. Fellow supporters club the Govan Emerald replied with photos of pavements, bins and even roundabouts painted green and white, which is sure to go down in what is deep in the heart of Rangers territory on the south side of the city.
It comes as those who will be inside the stadium will be treated to a remarkable tifo. Following last week’s full stadium display against Aberdeen, North Curve Celtic posted a statement which read: “Last weekend, the Celtic support produced a stunning tifo which inspired the current Celtic team to walk on the shoulders of giants as they bid for an historic eighth Treble.
“This weekend, the Celtic support has another opportunity to produce another huge tifo and deliver a final message of inspiration to the team as they enter the park for the Scottish Cup final. Saturday’s tifo will be the largest ever produced at Hampden and will encompass the Celtic allocation from the West Stand to the East Stand.”
