Ange Postecoglou dismisses Celtic vs Rangers guard of honour necessity as he labels tradition 'no big deal'

Ange Postecoglou is not warming to the prospect of Celtic pressing on with a guard of honour at Ibrox in tomorrow's Old Firm clash - labelling the notion as 'no big deal'.

Celtic winning the title away at Hearts last weekend would typically mean that the club they faced directly after the sealing of the trophy would have to give them a guard of honour. Unfortunately for those in Light Blue, the fixture list wasn't kind - with many sweating buckets at the thought of having to clap their bitter rivals onto the pitch to reward them for their success.

With Celtic turning down a similar offer when Rangers won the Scottish Premiership in 2020/21, fans of the Ibrox side had verbally made their thoughts clear on what they wanted the club to do should that eventuality spring up in conversation.
