Green Brigade announces Friday morning news regarding Hearts.
The Green Brigade has delivered an emotional rallying call to Celtic supporters ahead of Saturday’s enormous Premiership title decider against Hearts, urging fans to transform Celtic Park into an intimidating cauldron of noise and energy from the very first minute.
With the Scottish Premiership title race heading dramatically into the final day of the campaign, the influential supporters’ group used social media on Friday morning to call for one final united effort from the Celtic support as the Hoops attempt to complete one of the most dramatic turnarounds in recent Scottish football history.
The mood around Celtic has shifted completely over the past few weeks after what looked, not long ago, like a fading title challenge.
At one stage, Hearts appeared firmly in control of the race, with Derek McInnes’ side edging closer and closer toward a historic league triumph.
However, a remarkable sequence of late goals, comeback victories and dramatic moments has dragged Celtic right back into contention heading into the final 90 minutes of the season.
Wednesday night at Fir Park completely transformed the complexion of the title battle.
Celtic looked set to surrender crucial ground after a tense encounter with Motherwell F.C. appeared to be heading toward a damaging draw.

But deep into stoppage time, referee John Beaton awarded Celtic a controversial penalty following a VAR review.
Kelechi Iheanacho stepped forward and calmly converted from the spot, sealing a dramatic 3-2 victory that reignited Celtic’s title hopes and sent the away support into wild celebrations.
That late goal changed everything.
Instead of needing a complicated swing in goal difference on the final day, Celtic now know a victory over Hearts at Celtic Park will secure the league championship and deliver a fifth consecutive Premiership title for the Glasgow club.
The dramatic nature of the Motherwell victory appears to have created a renewed sense of belief and momentum around the club heading into Saturday’s decisive clash.
Supporters Believed To Have Played Major Role
Within Celtic circles, there is a strong feeling that the supporters themselves have been a major factor in the team’s resurgence during the closing weeks of the season.
The atmosphere inside Celtic Park has noticeably intensified in recent months, particularly following the return of the Green Brigade earlier this spring.
The supporters’ group, well known for their organised displays, vocal backing and large-scale tifos, have once again become central figures in the matchday atmosphere at Celtic Park.
The pre-match team bus welcomes have also returned as a major part of the occasion ahead of important fixtures, helping generate a sense of anticipation and unity before kick-off.
Many fans believe those scenes have helped energise both the players and the wider support during the tense run-in.
With the title now within touching distance again, the Green Brigade wants one final collective push from the Celtic support.
Ahead of Hearts’ arrival in Glasgow, the North Curve released a passionate statement on social media platform X urging supporters to come together and create relentless pressure throughout the afternoon.
Green Brigade’s Emotional Statement
The statement opened with a direct call for fans to rise to the occasion and fully support the team during one of the biggest matches Celtic Park has hosted in recent years.
“GET UP, STAND UP. don’t give up the fight,” the statement began.
The supporters’ group then reflected on the determination and resilience shown by the club throughout the title race.
“A fighting spirit has driven Celtic to the cusp of an historic league championship,” the statement continued.
“From the pitch to the stands, everyone has stood up and played their part.”
The Green Brigade also stressed that despite the dramatic comeback already achieved, the job remains unfinished heading into Saturday’s showdown.
“However, the fight is not over yet,” the statement added.
The group then highlighted the significance of the occasion awaiting both players and supporters this weekend.
“We are 90 minutes from our 5th league title in a row.”
“We are 3 points from a league championship that seemed impossible.”
Those lines reflected just how unlikely Celtic’s position looked only a short time ago when Hearts appeared to have seized full control of the title race.
But perhaps the most emotionally charged section of the statement came when the supporters’ group framed the title challenge as something larger than simply winning another trophy.
“We are 1 home victory from sucker-punching the Scottish establishment,” the statement read.
That phrase captured the increasingly heated atmosphere surrounding the title race in recent weeks, especially after several controversial VAR decisions and fierce public debates over officiating standards.
Call For Celtic Park To Be At Full Volume
The Green Brigade then outlined exactly what they expect from supporters inside Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon.
“For one last time, the Celtic support must deliver,” the statement continued.
“We must stand together.”
The supporters’ group emphasised that every fan inside the stadium has a role to play during the decisive fixture.
“We must be vocal. We must be the team’s energy. We must be patient.”
At the same time, the statement also encouraged supporters to create a hostile environment for the visiting Hearts side throughout the match.
“We must boo, heckle and unsettle an opposition which has never been in this position and never faced such opposition.”

The comments reflected the belief among many Celtic supporters that the atmosphere inside the stadium could become a major factor against a Hearts team attempting to win the club’s first league title since 1960.
Saturday’s encounter is expected to produce one of the loudest and most emotionally charged atmospheres Celtic Park has experienced in years.
Team Bus Welcome Planned Before Kick-Off
The Green Brigade also confirmed plans for supporters to gather outside the stadium early on Saturday morning in order to welcome the Celtic team bus before kick-off.
According to the statement, supporters have been encouraged to arrive from 10:30am to greet the players as they arrive at Celtic Park ahead of the crucial match.
Team bus welcomes have become increasingly popular among Celtic supporters during major fixtures, often involving large crowds, pyrotechnics, flags and chants designed to inspire the players before entering the stadium.
Given the significance of Saturday’s title decider, scenes outside Celtic Park are expected to be particularly intense.
The atmosphere surrounding the fixture had already been enormous before Friday morning’s statement.
Now, with the Green Brigade’s rallying cry circulating widely across social media, anticipation and tension around the match have increased even further.
Celtic supporters now head toward the final day believing the title race has swung dramatically back in their favour after weeks of relentless pressure and emotional twists.
And by the time Hearts arrive in Glasgow on Saturday afternoon, Celtic Park is expected to be operating at full volume long before the referee even blows the whistle to begin the match.
