Brendan Rodgers’ team is getting ready to face St Mirren in the final game of the league season, where the Scottish Premiership title will be handed over to Celtic after the match. The excitement is building up for the fans as a full stadium tifo is anticipated before the game, similar to the ones seen during the matches against Barcelona in 2012 and Aberdeen in 2022. Late Friday night brought a sneak peek of what seemed to be a tifo in the making at Celtic Park, as images surfaced on social media.
The Green Brigade, known for organizing previous full stadium Celtic tifos, faced a setback this time as their request to do so was turned down. However, the club took matters into their own hands and decided to handle the tifo preparations themselves. The ultras made their voices heard on social media platform X after the Green Brigade’s statement on the ‘Trongate title party’ was released on Friday night. They expressed their gratitude towards the Celtic supporters for their unwavering support, both morally and financially, which sustains the Celtic ultras scene amidst the challenges of rising living costs and the expenses of following the team.
The statement from the Green Brigade highlighted the milestones achieved by both Bhoys Celtic and the Green Brigade in supporting the club, with Bhoys Celtic celebrating its 10th season and the Green Brigade gearing up for its 20th season in the upcoming year. The groups emphasized the importance of fan engagement and their efforts to secure a fairer deal for all fans by collaborating with ultras groups across Scotland. Criticism was directed towards the club’s decision to ban fan tifos and opt for “outsourced efforts” instead, with the ‘Trongate Title Party’ being cited as the latest example. Despite facing opposition from authorities and football clubs, the Green Brigade encouraged fans to celebrate in their own way without fear of judgment or intimidation.
