The Green Brigade Ultras and wider North Curve Celtic membership have invited fans to welcome the team bus ahead of the Scottish Cup Final on Sunday.

Fans are being invited to congregate at the Aikenhead Road entrance to Hampden at 12 o’clock, where a similar backing to that which was witnessed at Celtic Park can be given.

If you do attend, it goes without saying that you should adhere to social distancing guidelines, wear face masks and behave in a responsible manner. The Celtic Trust arranged a Covid-Compliant gathering last week and hopefully similar precautions will be in place to back the team, but keep the pandemic at bay.

As we all know Celtic are going for a fourth consecutive Treble on Sunday and a Scottish Cup win could be just the additional wee tonic we need to really kick-start our hitherto faltering season and build on the recent wins over Lille and Kilmarnock that have encouraged everyone connected to Celtic.

No protest banners this week please.
