Sir Rod Stewart has called for an end to the ‘childish’ bitterness between Celtic and Rangers – after it was confirmed the Gers will NOT give their Old Firm rivals a guard of honour.
Celtic have already wrapped up the Scottish Premiership and custom dictates that opposition teams line up and applaud the champions as they leave the tunnel before kick-off.
But Rangers will not follow suit for their arch rivals when they meet at Ibrox on Sunday.
And Sir Rod, a diehard Celtic fan, claims he would happily watch the Hoops give Rangers a guard of honour if things were the other way round.

Sir Rod Stewart criticised Rangers for refusing to do a guard of honour
“If the shoe was on the other foot and Rangers won the league, I would’ve loved to give them a guard of honour,” the famous singer-songwriter told talkSPORT.
“I find it so childish and petty. We have to set a good example for the kids and this is not a good example.
“If Rangers win the league next year, I would be so proud to see Celtic give them a guard of honour.”

Tension between the two clubs has reached boiling point this season, with crowd trouble and on-field violence taking centre stage.
Just 750 Celtic fans will attend the game on Sunday after Rangers cut their away allocation last May – and the Hoops have hit back with the same measure.
Sir Rod suggests this all adds up to petulance.

“The same goes for the ticket allocation; I think that’s very childish,” he continued.
“I would’ve liked Celtic to be bigger than that. We’re not going to stoop that low.
“As Michelle Obama said, ‘They go low, we go high’. Let them have the allocation.
“Somewhere, we have to stop this bitterness.”
