Alistair Johnston discloses Celtic’s genuine sentiments regarding the possibility of obtaining a Rangers guard of honour: “We simply desire it.”

Celtic are expected to have been crowned champions by the time they encounter Rangers at Ibrox in May. Celtic’s match against Rangers was scheduled for the second week of the calendar following the post-split fixture announcement. Consequently, the probability of Celtic winning the league at Ibrox is low; however,

it is probable that Brendan Rodgers’ team will secure the necessary point to be crowned champions at Tannadice the week prior. In the event that Celtic secure the Scottish Premiership against The Tangerines, the debate has shifted to whether Rangers will provide the champions’ elect with a procession of honour at the Ibrox Glasgow Derby. Alistair Johnston, the Celtic defender for the Hoops,

has disclosed his colleagues’ genuine sentiments regarding the matter. Alistair Johnston acknowledges that the Celtic dressing room is “not overly concerned” with the Rangers tribute. Johnston stated to The Scottish Sun, “Would I anticipate it?” No, I would not anticipate it.”The circumstances are as they are.” We are not particularly concerned with whether or not someone provides us with a cordon of honour.

“Our primary objective is to be the ones to lift the trophy on the final day of the league season.” “The other teams are responsible for any events that occur in between.” That is another lesson I have acquired since my arrival: there is no need to worry about circumstances that are beyond your control. If you do, you will experience a significant loss of sleep, which can lead you down some very dark and twisted rabbit paths.

“To me, it is merely a matter of regulating what is within our power, which is a situation that is entirely beyond our control.” Celtic are entirely concentrated on the “difficult” trek to Dundee United, not Rangers. Johnston asserts that the journey to Tayside takes precedence over the derby against Rangers, which is typically the first fixture on the Celtic calendar that many fans anticipate.Johnston continued,

“We are optimistic that we can resolve the matter in Dundee before proceeding.” “The season has been very successful for Dundee United, and their position is difficult to escape.” Since their establishment, they have transformed it into an extremely resilient location.

1 50 5 Aberdeen 33 14 8 11 -4 50 “We are aware that it will be challenging, but when you are so close to achieving something, it serves as an additional source of motivation for the team and is anticipated with great enthusiasm.”We are optimistic that we will be able to conclude the league and subsequently travel to Ibrox to play the match with a sense of freedom and enjoyment.

However, we have a significant number of matches scheduled prior to that date. Celtic’s assessment of the Scottish Premiership table is exceedingly favourable. It is only a matter of time before the fourth consecutive title is secured, given the significant 15-point deficit to the Rangers with only 15 games remaining.

In reality, Celtic supporters are aware that the likelihood of Rangers and their supporters consenting to provide the Hoops with a guard of honour is exceedingly low. After all, they have only recently recovered from Odsonne Edouard’s goal in the 3-2 victory in 2019, which prompted the Ibrox club to reduce the number of away tickets.
