What Celtic and Aberdeen plan to do for fans if they seal Scottish Cup glory on Saturday at Hampden
It could lead to some historic scenes in the Granite City in particular PARTY TIME What Celtic and Aberdeen plan to do for fans if they seal Scottish Cup glory on Saturday at Hampden ABERDEEN and Celtic have been busy making preparations for fans to celebrate if they win the Scottish Cup. The two teams go head-to-head tomorrow at Hampden. 2 Aberdeen had a bus parade when they won the League Cup in 2014 Credit: Scottish News and Sport 2 Celtic had a similar bus parade after winning the 'Treble Treble' in 2019 Credit: Kenny Ramsay - The Sun Glasgow Celtic copped flak for not organising a club-sponsored party on the day the Hoops lifted the Premiership trophy. It led to some ugly scenes among booze-fuelled supporters in the Trongate area of Glasgow, and a huge clean-up operation had to be undertaken. SunSport understands the club is taking proactive measures this weekend by erecting barriers at Celtic Park in the event Brendan Rodgers' men win the cup (and secure another Treble in the process). Perimeter fencing is being put in place on the Celtic Way under the expectation that the players would return to the stadium should they emerge victorious at Hampden, and would therefore give the fans a place to congregate ahead of the celebrations. Aberdeen have been promised an open top bus parade should they clinch the cup. The city centre would be transformed and tens of thousands of Dons supporters would be allowed take to the streets for a party, councillors have revealed. That's despite roadworks taking place on Union Street, which would usually be an important part of the bus route. Labour councillor M. Tauqeer Malik said: "Usually Union Street would be ideal but it's a complete mess." Committee convener Alex McLellan has proposed that £35,000 from the Common Good Fund to pay for the celebrations, but finer details on the route were not disclosed. He said: "It would be tradition that if Aberdeen Football Club were successful in the Scottish Cup final that we would want to celebrate that in an appropriate way." Celtic Title Party Aftermath: Nine arrested as street party descends into total chaos The Pittodrie side had an open top parade when the last time they won a major trophy. That was the League Cup back in 2014, which, ironically, held its final at Celtic Park that year. Derek McInnes' side beat Inverness on penalties that day after a goalless 120 minutes at Parkhead.

Celtic fans urged not to attend 'disruptive' Trongate title party by council
Thousands of Celtic fans are set to gather in the city's Merchant City and Trongate to celebrate lifting the Scottish Premiership trophy. Glasgow City Council has urged Celtic fans not to attend the Green Brigade's "disruptive" Trongate title party - which is set to clash with an Orange Walk parade. Thousands of Hoops supporters are expected to descend on Glasgow's Merchant City and Trongate on Saturday for celebrations after Brendan Rodgers' side are presented with the Scottish Premiership trophy against St Mirren. The Green Brigade X account North Curve Celtic encouraged fans to attend, posting a graphic on social media: " Trongate Title Party. Saturday 17 May. After Celtic v St. Mirren. Fly the flag." Last year, 19 people were arrested and four officers injured as punters set off flares and fireworks, climbed onto traffic lights and bus stops, and vandalised shop fronts and street furniture. Glasgow City Council has now issued a statement pleading with fans not to attend. It said: "We want supporters of every team in Glasgow to be able to celebrate their successes but ask fans – including those visiting the city – to please avoid disruptive mass gatherings at Merchant City/Trongate and other public places. "These events and others like them have consistently led to disorder – causing significant disruption for the local community and businesses. " Damage to buildings and infrastructure robs the public purse of hundreds of thousands of pounds that would otherwise be spent on the essential services we all rely on. "Enjoy trophy day, but respect the city and your neighbours. Do not attend unsafe and disruptive gatherings in public places like Merchant City/Trongate." This comes following fears of the celebrations of partying fans clashing with around 2,500 members of the Orange Order who are set to parade through the streets at around the same time. The Orange Walk was arranged before the date of Celts ' trophy lift had been finalised to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day. The celebrations have become a tradition for title-celebrating Celtic fans ever since the team's Treble Treble bus parade was cancelled due to thousands of fans blocking its path in the Gallowgate in 2019. Concern regarding trouble erupting has been raised - with supporters expected to be celebrating around 500 yards away from the parade route. A spokesperson for Merchant City Community Council said: "Residents and businesses around Glasgow Cross are already concerned about serious disruption following the Celtic v St Mirren match. " Police are likely to have their hands full just dealing with that. The presence of tens of thousands of Celtic and Orange Lodge supporters in the city on the same day is an unwelcome and possibly inflammatory mix. "We call on the city council and the County Grand Lodge to get together to arrange for the parade to take place on a different date." A Police Scotland spokesman said: 'We work closely with a range of partners to address concerns and ensure appropriate policing plans are in place to maintain public safety and minimise any disruption to the wider community.'

How Kieran Tierney feels about returning to Celtic
The left-back has agreed a pre-contract to rejoin the Parkhead outfit ahead of the summer transfer window. Rodgers, who helped catalyse Tierney's record-breaking switch to Arsenal in 2019, was asked on Tuesday afternoon whether the defender is excited to be coming back to Glasgow's east end: "I know he will be," replied the Celtic manager. Read more: "I haven't spoken to him a lot of late. We've exchanged messages and stuff, but I know his love of the club and excitement to come back here. "So yes, I'm sure he's champing at the bit to get back." Tierney made 170 appearances during his initial Celtic spell. He was a key figure in the club's Treble Treble success. Although his time at the Emirates Arena has been somewhat ravaged by injury, he has still played 142 times for Arsenal and will leave with the utmost respect of the club's supporters this summer. Elsewhere, Rodgers has confirmed that Daizen Maeda and Cameron Carter-Vickers will be absent for Celtic's trip to face Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Wednesday evening, with Alistair Johnston returning to the ranks: "Like I said last week, Cam [Carter-Vickers] would miss this game but will be okay for the weekend," quipped the Celtic boss. "Ali Johnston [is] back. "Daizen, while recovering, he just came in this morning with a little niggle. He trained but we're keeping here just go get him treatment and make sure he's okay for the weekend and the following week."
