The North Curve/Green Brigade have released a video of how they prepared for Celtic’s Presentation Day Tifo.
Big claims were being made in advance of the Tifo but with the assistance of almost 60,000 fans it was all right on the night/day as the champions emerged from the tunnel for the final match of the SPFL campaign.
Almost instantly two images emerged, to the right of the tunnel in his distinctive hat was Willie Maley, Celtic’s first ever manager.
Facing him was the man that created the template for the current success- Jock Stein. From one title win in 20 years to 9-in-a-row and the European Cup was an astonishing turnaround.

Across the North Stand was the message of Standing on the Shoulders of Giants, a reference to Maley.
With Sky Sports showing live coverage of the Aberdeen match clips of the Tifo were all across social media, projecting the hard work and dedication of all involved to match up colours to seats as Celtic Park bristled with pride.
