Martin O'Neill reveals Rangers fans rage after his one word sparked fury before Celtic derby stroll at Ibrox

Martin O’Neill has revealed how he regretted trolling the Rangers fans after receiving dog’s abuse when he stepped off the bus as Celtic boss for a game at Ibrox having already wrapped up the league title.

The Irishman romped to the title in his first season in charge at Parkhead and went to the home of their fierce rivals as champions - just as Ange Postecoglou will do at Ibrox on Saturday. Celtic won the league by 15 points and with the pressure off put on a show in Govan in April 2001 with Lubo Moravcik netting a double and Henrik Larsson scoring his 50th goal of the season in a derby stroll - their first win at Ibrox in six-and-a-half years.

Postecoglou can look forward to a similar scenario on Saturday with his side making it back to back title successes under the Aussie with a win at Hearts last week. And the Celtic boss will face the unusual scenario of of having no visiting support at Ibrox.
