Celtic go to Ibrox on Saturday as Scotland’s Champions, well it wasn’t in doubt, but it’s now official and our next game will be against our bitter rivals.
There’s been talk of a ‘Guard of Honour’ for the Champions. You can knock any notion of that on the head as our ‘dignified’ rivals won’t be having that. In their bitter minds our team aren’t worthy of a Guard of Honour in their cesspit. They would rather an audience with the Pope was held at Snake Mountain (and not Grayskull), okay maybe that’s a bit of a stretch!
It won’t happen and I for one couldn’t care less, and the overwhelming majority of Celtic supporters feel the same. I would never think of doing it for them and they are quite within their rights not to do so for us. This isn’t the half-and-half scarf land of the English Premier league, this is a proper rivalry. Plus we don’t need applauded by anyone other than our own supporters.
Although serial loser captain Tavernier might have something to say about it as he was quite vocal on the subject when theRangers were crowned championship winners at the second time of asking back in 2016. I think it was Hibs he tore a strip off calling then ‘unsporting’ for their failure to applaud the Ibrox side onto the park.
He of course commended Alloa Athletic on their sporting gesture when The Wasps did just that. Will he take his own advice and show his appreciation to the Celtic players? I doubt it, but I couldn’t care less.

Grey skull is where the god guys live. He-Ange would say “By the Power of Greyskull”. He-Man’s mortal enemy was well known sevvie Skeletor and he lived at Snake Mountain. Greyskull- Good guys. Snake Mountain- Bad guys.

Updated, thanks for the clarification…
That IBROX mob are bad LOOSERS.
Actually going by their actions running on to the pitch a fair few of their team wouldn’t say no to an audience with the Pope. If it’s as good as an audience with Billy Connolly then fair enough. Joking aside I disagree with you. I think if it was established that this was expected at the first game only after a title was won this would establish a welcome sporting precedence. After all hand shakes and sometimes hugs are common after every game….
I think we could permit ourselves a little generosity here. if James Tavernier (indeed a serial loser) were to organise this, we should be gracious enough to accept it.
There is a historical precedent here. On March 7 1964, Rangers clapped Celtic on to the pitch after Celtic beat Slovan Bratislava in midweek before a Scottish Cup game at Ibrox. (Sadly we then lost 0-2!)
I would welcome such a move in general terms. Apart from anything else it would give the world an opportunity to hear Rangers fans booing their own team for being good sports! Royalists, bigots and Scotland’s shame!
