Don’t take their bait – that is the message from the editor of Follow Follow fanzine.
Mark Dingwall has written on FF to advise Rangers fans not to be tempted to make any plans to gather ahead of the Old Firm clash – not that it was likely regardless.
With a lot of political and media scrutiny targeted at our support, the message is clear.
Dingwall stated: “Celtic and the SNP government are desperate that Rangers fans congregate either at Parkhead or elsewhere on Sunday. “
“The league has been won so let’s not do anything to take the shine off of it – no matter the provocation.”
“I saw no Rangers fans on social media planning to celebrate at Parkhead – what I did see was a badly written poster from Celtic fans claiming they wanted to ‘defend’ Parkhead from hordes of marauding Bears. It’s fantasy.”
“I can understand people may think there’s some matter of pride in this having had a challenge thrown down.”
“However, I’d point out it’s daft to do exactly what your opponent wants you to do. Leave them standing up there alone.”

With trophy day still to come, as well as the Scottish Cup and the massive prospects with the Europa League pending the outcome of the Slavia game, there is plenty still to come this season for Rangers.
Consideration has to be given to the pandemic and not giving detractors further scope to hammer the club.
Enjoy the next few days and live it up at home!
