We all saw that amazing tribute to Lisbon Lion, Bertie Auld, at Hampden on Saturday night.
For those that didn’t see it, here it is below:

But what most people don’t realise or don’t know, is the incredible work that goes into these TIFO’s by the Green Brigade.
The sheer size of Bertie Auld’s tribute took my breath away but not only that, the detail, organisation and skill that goes into producing these is why the Green Brigade TIFO’s are amongst the best in the world.
And as a video from their official twitter account, The North Curve, went viral, it was retweeted by Sky Sports journalist, retweeted it commending the boys on their job:
This is a great watch. We often take it for granted the effort people put in to make these amazing displays – in such a short space of time as well. Brilliant work. 👏🏾 https://t.co/Ug6Abebd4r

And you have to say, what a job it was! It even reached the far shores of Australia as their major broadcaster, Fox Football, tweeted, “Ange is into his first final with Celtic – and the fans delivered a STUNNING tribute to club legend Bertie Auld “

Legends. From the designers, to the painters, to the volunteers setting it up and the person behind the camera. All out for Bertie and they did it perfectly https://t.co/VrXbYVZC3l

And there are many, many tweets like this.
It was an outstanding display and deserves praise from all quarters.
Wee Bertie would have been as proud as punch.
Well done boys! Absolutely outstanding!
