The Union Bears have revealed the cost of the tifo display before the match between Rangers and Celtic.
The supporter group prepared a huge display spanning the entirety of the Copland Stand on Sunday.
The tifo depicted Graeme Souness holding a shotgun, based on a real photograph from a press event before the World Cup in 1982.
Souness, a former Rangers player and manager, had posed with the weapon in Malaga, Spain as he previewed the match against New Zealand as Scotland competed at the World Cup.

A large banner along the base of the stand featured the words: "Take aim against the rebel scum".
Rangers condemned the display, branding it "unacceptable" and stating it "crossed a line".
Police Scotland are carrying out enquiries after being made aware of the display. The banner is being held by the force while an investigation is carried out.

The Union Bears have now revealed the cost to plan, create and display the tifo at the final derby match of the season between Rangers and Celtic.
The total cost for the Ibrox display was £5,302. That includes the price for sheets, paints, fabric and additional costs.
In a swipe at the reaction to the display the Union Bears post on social media site X, formerly Twitter, they wrote: "National meltdown - priceless".
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We are aware of the banner and enquiries are ongoing.”
"We also acknowledge that the tifo displayed prior to kick-off crossed a line and was unacceptable," a Rangers club spokesperson said.
"Our approach to supporter displays has always been built on trust, with the responsibility placed on groups to exercise good judgement.
"We will reflect on how these displays are managed and engage with supporter groups to ensure the right balance of trust, responsibility and oversight is maintained moving forward.
"Rangers is proud of its passionate fanbase, and we all share a duty to protect the standards and reputation of our club."
