The Green Brigade set the scene for Celtic’s dramatic clash with Inter Milan with a spectacular tifo display.

Using both tiers of the area around Section 111, the creative wing of the Celtic support used the top tier to  reveal three banners saying: ‘It is up to us, to everyone at Celtic Park, to build up our own legends’.

Below on the bottom tier an old fashioned television, or microwave over as someone suggested, appeared as the teams  emerged to a guard of honour formed by the Lisbon Lions.

With most eyes over on 111 the television screen appeared revealing, firstly an image of Stevie Chalmers winning goal, followed by a picture of the Celtic players celebrating at the final whistle.

There wasn’t much to celebrate 13 minutes into the match as Inter raced into a 2-0 lead but two goals within 73 seconds, one scored by Stuart Armstrong, the other created by the presence of the former Dundee United man turned the game on it’s head.

With half-time approaching Craig Gordon made a rare mistake presenting Inter with their third goal and putting a dampener on the frenzied atmosphere.

Celtic had a good claim for a penalty waved away in the 65th minute when Stefan Johansen was flattened in the box but deep in stoppage time there was one final twist to come.

The last two months have been a frustrating time for John Guidetti but given a half chance inside the Inter box he swivelled to hook his shot beyond Juan Pablo Carrizo to complete an incredible night of drama.

It was the best feeling in the world to score at such a late stage,” Guidetti said- none of the thousands watching would disagree.
