“You should always show humility and class,” Brendan Rodgers said to Sky Sports earlier this week. The former Celtic manager believes his former club should give newly-crowned champions theRangers a guard of honour when the sides meet on Sunday at Paradise. Irony alert right there, Brendan with that quote.

And while very few Celtic Supporters agree with the Leicester City boss, he has found one ally in the Celtic camp. Former Celtic defender Gary Caldwell reckons that Celtic should indeed recognise the first ever major trophy won by the new Ibrox club by affording them a Guard of Honour on Sunday.

“100% agree with this,” Caldwell stated, referring to the Brendan Rodgers call for a Guard of Honour to be given by Celtic to theRangers. “Acknowledge the league winners and their performance this season by showing respect but remember the feeling and use this as your motivation next season,” Caldwell argued, using these three hashtags to back his point…”#class #sportmanship #values”.

Responding to the former Celtic and Scotland defender, Tony Arthur made this point: “One team in Scotland refused to give a guard of honour for the champions in the last 9 years. Why should any club in Scotland show them the respect that they refused to offer?”

Caldwell had an answer to that: “The club needs to stay true to their own values not anyone else’s. Celtic is a club built on great tradition and respect and it’s the right thing to do. Then use the pain as great motivation next season,” he stated.

Remember don’t go anywhere near Celtic Park on Sunday before, during or after the game, win, lose or draw – watch the game at home and check out The Celtic Star for all the big match build-up, the best photographs and videos and our post match round-ups from the likes of David Potter and Sandman.

On the Guard of Honour – very much doubt that it will happen and thats fine by me. Celtic Supporters can add your own thoughts on this below…
