A ban on away supporters might be preventing Celtic fans cheering their team on at Ibrox this weekend - but The Green Brigade are still striving to give their heroes a big send off ahead of the clash. 

The huge derby match against Rangers kicks-off at midday on Sunday, with the Celtic team expected to stay in a Glasgow hotel the night before.

As a result, the Hoops' ultra group has urged the Celtic community to come together by making lots of noise and showing plenty colour in the run up to the game. 

Brendan Rodgers' squad have been met with excited punters at their Lennoxtown training base before Old Firm games encounters in the past, however this time the plan is to meet outside Celtic Park at 3:30pm on Saturday - with everyone of green and white persuasion welcome.

A graphic posted on The Green Brigade social media accounts read: "See off the team. Onto victory once more, don't give up on the dream."

Celtic are a point ahead of Rangers in the Scottish Premiership title race, but know they can't afford any slip-ups with their city rivals boasting a game in hand against Dundee next week. 

Away followings of around 2,500 will be allowed at matches between Celtic and Rangers from next season which provides a glimmer of hope for The Green Brigade in the future.
