    GB rallying call ahead of the split

    "As Celtic supporters, we are in uncharted territory finding ourselves in a three-way dog fight for the league title.

    With margins so slim, we have a distinct advantage over our rivals with three home matches.

    However, this is only an advantage if we make use of that home support. It is up to all of us to play our part, to do what we can to give our team an extra ounce of energy and motivation.

    It is not enough to merely turn up. It is not constructive to turn on the team if they are struggling. It is not helpful to pass our anxiety onto the pitch.

    Instead, we must meet our own responsibility. We must be vocal. We must back the team and give them energy. We must be their 12th man. We must make Celtic Park a place where Celtic players thrive and opposition players fold.

    To help achieve this, we invite all Celtic supporters to do three simple things.

    1. WELCOME THE TEAM V FALKIRK.

    Our support begins the minute the Celtic team steps foot on Paradise. Give the Champions the welcome they deserve and carry that passion into the stands.

    1. GET UP. STAND UP.

    We invite all who are able to stand for the match. By doing so, you will have more energy and freedom to express yourself. Stand together. Stand behind our team.

    1. OUR PARADISE.

    Decorate every corner of Celtic Park in CSC banners and flags. Make sure that when Celtic takes the field they see the colours behind them; and the opposition sees what stands against them."

      1 and 3 are absolutely reasonable and hopefully as many people as possible join in.

      The asking folk to stand might cause more issues than it’s worth though.

      Bit rich considering they couldn’t be bothered to turn up for half the season

      I absolutely hate how practically everyone (excluding GB) sits down the second the whistle goes for kick-off

      Atmosphere is a myth. Unless we are spanking huns or doing ok in a European nite. Better Atmosphere in other places. Athens, Buenos Aires, Istanbul and of course Shettleston Juniors

      “It is not constructive to turn on the team if they are struggling. It is not helpful to pass our anxiety onto the pitch.”

      If you had said that a month ago instead of throwing tennis balls you would’ve been accused of backing the board. Glad this statement has been made. The atmosphere is great when it’s behind the team but has been rotten for much of this season. I fully expect the atmosphere for these last matches will be the best of Celtic Park, hopefully the team follows suit

      Agree with all of it except the standing bit. Doesn’t really seem practical, kids won’t be able to see, some people can’t stand the whole time which means the people in front of them need to sit down, and then that means the people in front of them need to sit down etc etc

      Everyone should turn up but if fans don’t protest then things will never change. It can’t be calm. It has to be endless. What if the team do try their best. They finish 2nd to Hearts or Rangers. The board just turns up and sees happier fans for a few months, right before the summer. So they do nothing different. The end of the season games are the last chance to pile on pressure.
