Celtic and Rangers will meet in the final Old Firm fixture of the season this Sunday.
Celtic supporters weren’t surprised to see goalkeeper Allan McGregor sent off during his Rangers’ 1-0 win over Hibernian on Sunday afternoon at Ibrox.
Whilst kicking the ball out from his hands, the 37-year-old raked his studs into the back of Marc McNulty, who was closing him down. He then went to the floor and for some strange reason decided to hold onto his foot.
The sending-off means the experienced Gers shot-stopper will miss the Old Firm derby at Ibrox next Sunday. Celtic have already secured the Scottish Premiership title after they beat Aberdeen in a comfortable fashion on Saturday.
Nonetheless, the sending off was another moment of ill-discipline from a Rangers player this season, with striker Alfredo Morelos making a return from his four-match suspension during the win against Hibs.
Steven Gerrard’s side have been on a good run of form in recent weeks, but it seems as though he can’t stamp out moments of madness from his players.
Here is a section of Celtic fans on Twitter reacting to McGregor’s red card for Rangers:
The last time the Glasgow duo met, Neil Lennon’s side were victorious in what was a fiercely-contested encounter at Parkhead.
Their last meeting at Ibrox saw Gerrard’s side record a 1-0 win and the Light Blues supporters will be hoping for more of the same this Sunday.
