The Green Brigade has sent out a message to supporters on Friday evening asking those who will be in the Celtic end for the Scottish Cup semi-final against Aberdeen to be in their seats early.

The group has confirmed they are being allowed to set up a pre-match tifo ahead of the clash against the Dons, hoping to fill Hampden with colour before the bhoys get down to business.

Brendan Rodgers men are looking to book their place in the final for the showpiece event on May 25th and will have the majority of the support inside Hampden.

The Celtic fans have around 32,000 supporters for the game — Aberdeen fans not coming out in huge numbers for the tie after moaning they weren’t allowed an initial 50-50 split.

This will be Brendan Rodgers first visit to Hampden as Celtic manager since his first spell in charge where he made a habit of getting to semi-finals and finals.

This will be the last stop before Celtic’s final five games of the season and while the tifo is to spur the team onto victory on Saturday afternoon, it will also be a nod to the players, letting them know we’re all in this together as we look to make it three in a row.
