“They’re Told to do it” – Hugh Keevins Dismisses Ibrox Classy Gesture
The timing of Celtic’s impending fourth consecutive Scottish Premiership title could result in the most unusual sight of all: a guard of honor at Ibrox.
The Hoops will formally be crowned champions if they lose to Dundee United at Tannadice by a point or more in their opening post-split game.
Rangers would still need to defeat St Mirren the next day to extend the title “race” if they made a mistake. In any case, with the league already decided, Celtic could visit Govan the following weekend.
The argument starts there. Will Rangers present a guard of honor to celebrate their opponents’ victories?

“I have every confidence that Brendan Rodgers thinks Celtic can win the league at Tannadice. Rangers will have the ideal chance to present Celtic with a guard of honor if they triumph at Tannadice. My favorite predicted question is this one.
“It won’t occur. In any case, it shouldn’t occur. Clubs don’t mean it when they do the guard of honor.
“They are instructed to do it.”
In any case, Celtic supporters won’t give a damn. Fifteen points clear with a +42 goal difference and five games to play, the title is effectively theirs. Whether they walk out to adulation or anger at Ibrox, Brendan Rodgers’ team will do so as Scotland’s champions once again.
The Ibrox matchday crew will make their own elegant gesture to the visiting players. Simply The Best will be playing loudly throughout Ibrox as the most successful side in Scotland attempts to resume winning ways in the derby as Celtic, who ought to be champions by now, emerge from the tunnel.
