The most emotional renditions of You’ll Never Walk Alone are generally at evening European fixtures but on Saturday lunchtime there was something special in the air.
Celtic’s Green Brigade don’t have to look too far for critics but when it comes to putting on a show with a splash of style they have no equal.
In November 2012 an incredible tifo was arranged for the club’s 125th anniversary, on Saturday it was a more basic display but perfectly choreographed.

Midway through the video the iconic image of Billy McNeill lifting the European Cup emerges, a picture that needs no introduction and one that no Celtic supporter will ever tire off.
After 67 seconds of applause the current Celtic side had the task of living up to the legends of the past, it was a laboured performance but eventually the team came good perhaps with a little help from above.
With 67 minutes on the clock Celtic’s number 5 headed the only goal of the game and a huge step was taken towards securing an eighth title, for the second time.
Look at the men in this picture, they set the standards and created the modern legend.https://t.co/tQE3NfZSUp
