The Green Brigade provide update on flag day stadium tifo

The Green Brigade are planning a full stadium display to welcome their Double-winning heroes out against Kilmarnock on Sunday. 

As with tradition on flag day, Celtic Park will be packed with both fans and playing staff ready to begin their Scottish Premiership title defence. 

Brendan Rodgers' side are off the back of an impressive US tour which saw them thrash DC United and Chelsea, plus they edged out a seven goal thriller against Manchester City. 

Positivity is in the air around Glasgow's East End and rightly so. 

A Go Fund Me page for the tifo has reached almost £12,000, with around 800 supporters donating money towards it.

On Friday, the prominent Celtic group released a social media update which  reminded punters attending the new season curtain-raiser that the display sequence will be a surprise and warned any volunteers who have been in and around the stadium setting up to avoid leaking any spoilers.

They said: "Thanks to all fans who have so far contributed to the full stadium tifo for Sunday.

"100s of volunteers have spent the week setting up the tifo, to welcome the Champions to the field and add to the spectacle of the day. As with any tifo, part of its success is in the surprise.

"We therefore kindly ask that any fans, and staff, who have access to Celtic Park before Sunday respect the wishes of the Celtic support and organisers and not share details of the tifo with anyone."
