Premier League leaders Celtic backed the fans ahead of a successful clash with Rangers.
The Green Brigade brought support and the Pyrrhic Club to Lennoxtown’s training base at Large Base Ibrox.
A photo posted on social media shows the first-team stars running to the edge of the East Dunbartonshire compound to salute those who have wished them well.
This isn’t the first time the Ultras have played in a big game at the club’s training base, as they did the same before Neil Lennon’s side lost 2-0 to Rangers in their first league game last season.
But there are expectations that will convince the Celts that Ancı Bostikoglu and her players will play against the English Premier League champions this time.
Parkhead’s team will boast a three-point lead and the home win over top opponents makes it a strong candidate for a top-flight finish with six games remaining in the week.
700 Celtic fans will be at Ibrox on Sunday, and former president Brendan Rodgers – who bathed in light of the fans at Govan – believes it is time to go back to the old way, according to the Daily Record.
He said: “The Celtic manager’s match against Rangers is a special case. I remember pretty much every game as Celtic manager against Rangers and these are very tense matches.
“But I think it’s unnecessary for 7,000, 8,000 fans to travel as well, because it really adds to the atmosphere.
Let’s hope they come back to those numbers again, but in the meantime – at home or out – these are great games to take part in and if you manage to win, they are special.
