What did you make of the pre-match scenes before the Falkirk game?
Celtic fans tap into history with deliberate message
The choice of 1986 is not accidental, it is one of the clearest examples of Celtic delivering when it mattered most. By bringing that title win back into focus, the Hoops support set the tone before a ball was kicked.
The visual impact of the display reinforced that message, with the tifo described as another superb effort from the Green Brigade.
It added weight to the idea that belief is still central to how Celtic approach key games in this title race.
Celtic support underline belief at the right time
The timing of the display is what gives it real significance. Delivering a huge tifo of that nature before the game kicked-off was a masterstroke. It sent a clear message to the Celtic team that the same mentality shown in 1986 is expected again.
By invoking that final day turnaround, the support made it clear that nothing is settled until it is finished. That belief has defined Celtic at key points in their history.
The “Spirit of ’86” message was simple but effective, reminding everyone inside Parkhead, and Hearts and Rangers, what this club has done before.
It was not just a tribute, it was a statement about what Celtic supporters expect now.
