Celtic trophy day tifo plans 'well underway' as Green Brigade organise bucket collection vs St Mirren

The Green Brigade say plans are 'well underway' for an 'iconic' tifo to greet the players when they face Aberdeen on trophy day.

The Celtic fan group have called on the help of fellow supporters once again by organising a collection outside Parkhead this weekend in a bid to raise further funds with the Scottish Cup Final at Hampden next month against Inverness looming as well as another big season for Ange Postecoglou and his troops next term both domestically and in the Champions League.

It's the first collection of its kind since 2019 with the group set to be positioned around Celtic Park from 12 noon until kick-off against St Mirren on Saturday. The continued support is described as both 'vital and hugely appreciated' with every single penny collected going towards tifo costs for the national stadium showpiece on June 3 and beyond.

A Twitter post read: "Last month, the Green Brigade launched an online fundraiser for fans to donate to a full stadium tifo at the end of the season. The response was excellent and plans are well underway to ensure another iconic tifo greets the players as they emerge out the tunnel on 'Trophy Day' against Aberdeen on the 27th May.

"Among others, this season has seen a full stadium tifo on the opening day of the league campaign, the famous 'Battle of Bogside' banner in the derby as well as the 'Rising Phoenix' in the League Cup Final.

"With another upcoming cup final and a Treble at Hampden looming, as well as another huge year ahead for the club next season, we have decided to organise a collection outside Celtic Park to raise further funds for the future.

"This is the first collection of its kind since 2019 when we asked supporters to contribute towards a unique tribute to our then recently-passed legends - Billy McNeill and Stevie Chalmers.

"From 12 noon until kick off on Saturday, our members will be positioned around the stadium with collection buckets. Every penny received will go towards tifo costs for the cup final and beyond. Thank you once again for your continued support - it is vital and hugely appreciated."
