Celtic supporters issued important update for Rangers away fixture
While the title race is already over, pride, bragging rights and momentum are all at stake in the season's fifth and final derby clash.
Despite their commanding position at the summit, Celtic have lost their last two meetings against Rangers and will be out to set the record straight in enemy territory.
Around 2,000 Celtic fans — roughly four per cent of Ibrox's operating capacity — are expected to make the trip, having secured what many view as a golden ticket to one of the most anticipated fixtures on the Scottish football calendar.

Tony Docherty's bravery got him sacked at Dundee – but if clubs are serious about developing young stars he's their man
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TONY DOCHERTY was more courageous than any other Premiership manager last season when it came to giving young players a chance. Yet all his bravery got him was the sack. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Tony Docherty was sacked by Dundee last month Credit: Kenny Ramsay 3 John Nelms gave him the boot at Dens Park Credit: Willie Vass At Dundee, the boss didn't just turn to his bench and give the occasional 21-year-old a few stoppage-time minutes when the TV cameras were in town. He didn't merely pay lip service to an issue that's held back Scottish football for years. No, Docherty went all in on the club's strategy of bringing through their own, developing them and making them better. Yet when he needed his managing director to show him a little understanding after a difficult campaign, John Nelms showed him the door. Presumably it wasn't news delivered by email, otherwise Docherty may still be waiting to learn his fate. You'd pay a penny for his thoughts this week, though, when it was confirmed the SFA were running with a new idea to help freshen up the stagnant waters of youth development. A study showed Docherty's Dundee topped a table on under-21 players in the top flight. Figures from CIES Observatory highlighted how he offered 24.8 per cent of the team's available first-team minutes to players of that age and under. At the other end of the scale, St Mirren were ranked bottom, with just 0.8 per cent. Who knows, Docherty maybe takes little satisfaction from those numbers given they did him little good in the long run. Moment Dundee fans invade pitch after securing safety against St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park But he should. He ultimately kept the club out of the relegation zone and improved players to a level where they were being snapped up by the Old Firm. Luke McCowan's move to Celtic in August didn't exactly do Docherty any favours. But he played a huge part in the midfielder catching the eye of Brendan Rodgers. Just like he did for Lyall Cameron, who has signed a pre-contract to join Rangers. Josh Mulligan will be next to step up a level, with a number of clubs ready to lure him away, including Gers. Dundee as a club just didn't seem to take any of that into consideration when they emptied their manager, did they? Yet at a time when our elite clubs seem to finally be taking seriously the need to help our aspiring prospects, Docherty should take great pride in having the courage of everyone else's convictions. Every manager talks the talk when it comes to bringing through young players. They don't all walk the walk. 3 Steven Pressley is the new Dundee boss Credit: Getty Only time will tell how Steven Pressley fares when he steps into the Dundee dugout. In the meantime, Docherty shouldn't be waiting long for his next opportunity. Not if our clubs are serious about developing young players and turning them from prospects into assets. But that has to include an appreciation that there are going to be ups and downs along the way. You can't help think that a club like Motherwell could be the ideal fit for someone like Docherty. Wherever he ends up, he needs employers who are prepared to give him the chance, patience and understanding that he's been willing to give others.

O'Neill: Celtic will have appetite for Europe after Champions League run
Martin O'Neill believes Celtic will have a growing appetite to kick on again in Europe next season after a 'terrific' run in the Champions League. The Hoops reached the knockout stages of the top competition for the first time in over a decade, following wins over Slovan Bratislava, RB Leipzig, and Young Boys, and draws with Club Brugge, Atalanta, and Dinamo Zagreb in the League Phase. They were knocked out in the last-16 play-off after an agonising injury-time winner for Bayern Munich in Germany sealed a 3-2 aggregate defeat. And O'Neill, who was in charge for some memorable European nights, including wins over Juventus, Liverpool, and Ajax, during his five-year spell in the east end of Glasgow, believes that that run will stand Brendan Rodgers' side in good stead for the season ahead. He said: 'We all thought that the new format would suit teams like Celtic, which is great, but just now, as you're getting your feet together in European football, I think they were terrific. 'Recovering from the debacle against Dortmund, to go to Atalanta and get a result there, then beating Leipzig. And then to crown it all, a brilliant performance in Munich against Bayern Munich of all teams. 'So that all augurs really well for next season. 'I'm quite sure (that they now have the base to take another step forward next season), there's no question about it, and I don't think there will be any resting on laurels or anything like that. 'I think that the run in the Champions League will actually have given them an appetite to go even further if that's at all possible. 'I think it's reawakened European football, big time over at Celtic Park.' O'Neill, who won seven major honours, including a domestic treble, and reached a UEFA Cup Final when he was in the Celtic dugout between 2000-2005, believes his former club will be looking to improve again in the summer despite another successful season that ended with a Premiership and League Cup double. And he insists that movements over at Ibrox might be a driving force in Celtic's pre-season recruitment, but argues that a strong Rangers can be beneficial to the Parkhead men. He continued: 'Some players might leave the football club, and you will always have to supplement the squad regardless. 'But it's like everything else. I'm looking at it from a managerial viewpoint, and every single season I was always saying to the board that we had to try and invest in the squad, because you want to try and stay as strong as possible. 'You don't know what might happen over the other side of the city. They've got a new manager coming in now, and for Celtic to stay strong, I think they really do need Rangers to be as strong as possible as well. 'I mean, going back to my time, I was up against Alex (McLeish) for a few years, and before that it was Dick Advocaat, but Rangers were incredibly strong at that time, really strong, so we had to be strong ourselves.' Celtic were denied a world record ninth domestic treble when they fell at the last hurdle in a penalty shootout defeat to Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final. But O'Neill doesn't think that result diminishes what was an overall successful season for his former club. He said: 'Of course, it's disappointing because the treble was within their grasp. 'And I suppose, having beaten Aberdeen maybe ten days before the final, some people maybe felt that just turning up would have been enough to win the cup. but I'm quite sure that that was not the attitude. 'However, it's been a great season with another championship won, and then, if you talk about the run in the Champions League, it was really excellent.'
