The Green Brigade were refused the opportunity to put a TIFO together in the stands at Hampden for Sunday’s Scottish Cup semi-final.

When they were told by Hampden bosses the group made the move to asking fans to bring Irish tri-colours to the game on Easter Sunday and make the Celtic end look as spectacular as possible.

This was then met by another warning from Hampden bosses that they would be closely monitoring flags, material and the size of them and would look to prohibit from some of these from getting inside the stadium.

Not only have the group put out a message to ignore any of the stuff coming from Hampden – they’ve now upped the ante by having 10k Irish tri-colours made and they’ll hand these out before the game on Sunday.

Celtic take on their Glasgow rivals in what should be an exciting encounter to discover who will be facing Hearts in the Scottish Cup final come May.

The Celtic fans will be in fine voice on the day and the stands will indeed be full of tri-colours.
