Ellie quote tweeted the post and wrote: "Yes, it's happening! see you on Saturday @CelticFC!"
We previously reported that Ellie addressed coming to Glasgow during a live question-and-answer session on TikTok with her fans.
During the live, Ellie said: "Hello to all of the Celtic fans. I've learnt a new phrase...mon the Hoops.
"I don't know a whole lot about football, but this whole thing has been super cool.
"For anyone who doesn't know what happened. I basically went on a sports radio show on the BBC, it's called BBC Radio 5 live.
"They do a segment where they get musicians in to sing football chants. And so I picked one and then it blew up like crazy.
"And now things are going a bit mad. And no comment if I'm coming to Glasgow or not, that's...secrets."
We also reported how Celtic star Jota praised Ellie's cover.
She was amazed by the response from fans after she first sang it on BBC Radio 5 Live, and then released a longer recorded version of the tune.
She shared this across her social media pages and YouTube channel.
Jota commented on her Instagram post, saying: "This is special. Much love 🤍."
