Green Brigade announce Celtic title day plans as £20k target set for giant tifo spanning across Parkhead

Celtic supporters section the Green Brigade have unveiled a fundraising effort for a tifo on the Premiership's opening matchday.

The Hoops will find out their title day opponents later this week when the full pre-split card of league fixtures for 2022/23 is released.

Manager Ange Postecoglou has inspired change in Glasgow's east end since taking over last summer, wrestling the title off Rangers after the Ibrox club ended their 10-in-a-row bid last year.

Usually a cauldron of colour and noise within Celtic Park, the Green Brigade are aiming to involve the entire stadium when competitive action kicks off again in July.

It's their hope that they can reach £20,000 in an initial fundraising effort that will help them create Celtic displays throughout a campaign that will include Champions League group stage football.

They said in a statement: "On the opening day of the season, we will produce a tifo to celebrate the success of last season while laying a marker for the season ahead: we don't stop.

"Ange has united our entire club therefore we will prepare a tifo that will involve the entire stadium. To achieve this we need your support.

"We won't stop at one tifo: we will keep the fund running to support all tifo initiatives throughout the season. This will include bigger, better, more regular tifos as well as at least two full stadium tifos for the season.

"When we close the fundraiser, we will be withdrawing all proceeds and sending to Green Brigade account, and all funds will go towards tifo costs for season 2022/23."
