CELTIC fans have plastered a huge Ange Postecoglou billboard near Hampden ahead of today's Scottish Cup showdown against Rangers.

Glasgow's big two are going head to head for a spot in the final next month against Hearts after the Edinburgh outfit defeated rivals Hibs yesterday.

The billboard display showed a picture of Postecoglou with his hand on the Celtic badge and a message read "They stood beside their leader".

Celtic Way:

The Hoops are dreaming of a treble this campaign after having already lifted the League Cup earlier this term. 

They are currently six points clear at the top of the Premiership table after having defeated Rangers at Ibrox two weeks ago.

Speaking ahead of the game, Postecoglou said: "My experience with these things, there is no point trying to disguise it as something it isn’t.

“You can go in there and say that it’s just another game and treat it just like another game but I think you lose the unique aspect of the fact that you want your players to embrace the big occasion and play in a big game. You don’t want your players to shy away from it.

“I don’t think I need to tell them that, they will realise themselves from the build-up and obviously when they walk out there.

“But my role in that is just to make sure that the focus is on the important things, the things that have got us to this point, and also highlight the fact that the key to these big games is to be ready to take the opportunity.

“You don’t want to let too many of those opportunities go by in your career.

“I’m not one for telling the guys to ignore the hype or ignore the attention.

“Particularly at this football club, it’s really important that the guys embrace that and want that.

“They want to be in the big games and, the bigger the games, the bigger the opportunity to make a statement.”
