Rangers Fans’ Chants Echo in Empty Celtic Park Amidst Tense Old Firm Clash

In a highly anticipated Old Firm derby, the echoes of Rangers fans' chants reverberated around an eerily empty Celtic Park, setting the stage for a dramatic Scottish Premiership encounter. The match, which saw Celtic clinch a hard-fought victory, was marked by intense rivalry and off-field tensions.

Before the game, nearly 100 fans were denied entry to Celtic Park under stringent stop-and-search powers, a move that Celtic officially distanced themselves from, highlighting the ongoing challenges of managing fan safety and emotions in such high-stakes fixtures. The absence of away supporters did not dampen the spirit of Rangers fans, whose chants were captured and shared widely, adding an unusual dimension to the historic rivalry.

On the pitch, the match lived up to its billing, with Celtic edging out Rangers in a contest that was as much about tactical battles as it was about the passion of the Old Firm rivalry. This victory could prove pivotal in the race for the Scottish Premiership title, underlining the importance of every point at this crucial stage of the season.
