The Green Brigade have switched to Plan B after having their Tifo for Easter Road blocked by Hibs.
The Edinburgh side have cut the ticket allocation to Celtic fans despite thousands of empty seats expected through the home sections.
Hibs fans that turn up aren’t likely to be the most enthusiastic.
Last week’s capitulation to Hearts hurt the fans badly.
Taking petty action against Celtic supporters isn’t going to earn the Hibs board any brownie points.
On the park the kamikaze performance of the team last week against Hearts was sore. Very sore.
To be 1-0 up on Hearts after 5 minutes then be playing with nine men almost all of the second half was clear self destruction.
Completed by holding out until the 86th minute then losing out to a deflection.
All that is left for Hibs fans is to see Hearts not win the league. It doesn’t matter who wins it as long as it isn’t Hearts.

From the away end there will be complete backing for the Celtic side. Forty years on from the day both Hibs and Celtic fans celebrated goals from Albert Kidd of Dundee.
GREEN BRIGADE GOING THE EXTRA MILE
The Green Brigade came along 20 years ago.
Despite a four match winning run Celtic are far from convincing. But at this stage it is all about winning, not convincing.
An away win today lifts Celtic level on points with Hearts, but almost certainly trailing on goal difference.
In that case tomorrow’s match at Tynecastle takes on a variety of dynamics.
A case for every outcome can be made for the benefit of Celtic. But only if they win today against Hibs.
After that, Celtic wise there is the final Glasgow Derby of the season a week today.
Following two dramatic days at Ibrox in March Celtic will be looking to make home advantage tell.
From the Scottish Cup tie Celtic will be able to add Callum McGregor, Kieran Tierney, Arne Engels and Alistair Johnston to their Starting XI.
All hopefully making a telling impact
Well – We won despite the cheats with whistles flags and monitors…
But Celtic should be screaming from the rooftops tonight for sure !
