The ultras group revealed via their social media account on X that they have arranged two separate tifo displays for this weekend’s showpiece match at the national stadium.
The post detailed: “Instructions for cup final tifos. For the cup final, we have organised two tifos for the champions! First half – Raise your poly sheet only as the teams emerge Second half – Fly the flag for the champions!”
Above the graphic, which gives clear instructions on what the Celtic support should do in each half, the North Curve Celtic account stated: “Please be mindful of the two separate instructions for two separate tifos.”
“As always, the success of any tifo is reliant on all supporters participating and following any instructions.”
Unlike last weekend’s Trophy Day celebrations with the Green Brigade, this time things seem to have shifted – the ultras group revealed on the Friday before the match that the club had blocked their tifo plans, opting instead to organise a separate, outsourced display of their own which were ‘Four In A Row’ flags on each seat across the ground.

The alternative took the form of club-branded flags in different shades of green and white, distributed according to the seating sections within Celtic Park.
This weekend, Celtic will face Aberdeen aiming to secure another domestic clean sweep. The pair last met in the Scottish Cup final in 2017, where a late iconic strike from Tom Rogic sealed the ‘Invincible Treble’ for Brendan Rodgers’ side at Hampden.
Last Wednesday at Pittodrie, Rodgers’ Premiership champions triumphed over Jimmy Thelin’s Aberdeen 5-1, with goals courtesy of Maik Nawrocki, Yang Hyun-jun, Luke McCowan, Johnny Kenny, and Adam Idah.
