With two matches remaining in the campaign, Celtic's next opponents are none other than.... yes, Rangers, and if you think they are giving their rivals a guard of honour you have another thing coming.
The Daily Record has reported that Rangers have no intention of carrying out a guard of honour, but their former striker Kris Boyd believes they should.

"It would be the right thing to do and, for me, I think they should.
"At the end of the day, they might be your rivals but they have won the league. Pay them the respect they deserve."
