Brendan Rodgers claims Celtic should show “class” and give Rangers a guard of honour – and then use it as motivation to regain their title.
Rangers are due to visit Celtic Park on Sunday in their first match since being crowned Scottish Premiership champions.
The traditional salute to the champions was not carried out in 2019 when
Celtic visited Ibrox in their first game since securing their eighth consecutive title. Gers boss Steven Gerrard revealed the club had taken the decision out of his hands.
Rodgers, whose Celtic side beat Rangers 5-0 a year earlier to clinch the championship, referenced an occasion when Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United players gave Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea a guard of honour in 2005.
