Ex-Rangers and Celtic heroes reunite as former Ibrox star ties the knot
SOME of these players used to go head-to-head in one of the world's biggest derbies. But while they were rivals on the pitch, that's certainly not the case off the park for these former Rangers and Celtic stars. Advertisement 3 Greg Taylor with his wife Laura 3 He was joined by old rival Scott Wright A number of ex-Old Firm heroes reunited at a plush Scottish wedding venue this week to celebrate the marriage of Charlie Telfer and his new wife Eliza. Former Rangers youngster Telfer, 29, came through the youth ranks at Ibrox and made one competitive appearance in 2014 against Stenhousemuir, before Dundee United snapped him up for £200,000 following a tribunal. He has enjoyed a successful career in Scottish football, having spent three years at Tannadice along with stints at Livingston, Morton, Falkirk and Airdrie. Currently at Ross County - spending the second part of this season on loan at Hamilton - Telfer even had a short stint in the Netherlands with Almere City during the 2017/18 campaign. Advertisement He's made some great friends in the game along the way. And some of those include ex-Celtic players. Telfer invited many of them to his big day this week as he tied the knot with his fiance. Celtic left-back Greg Taylor, who may have played his last game for the club, was in attendance with his wife Laura - who he married last June. Advertisement Laura, who recently gave birth to their first baby girl Ruby, shared pictures of the amazing day out celebrating Mr and Mrs Telfer. In the snaps which she posted on Instagram, the couple were seen cozying up together and spending a lot of time with one of his old rivals. Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has STRONGER transfer case after final defeat Former Rangers winger Scott Wright was in attendance with his partner Suzannah, and they posed for snaps with the Celtic defender and Laura. It's unclear just how many footballers were invited but Celtic Treble heroes Kristoffer Ajer and Ryan Christie joined them for the big occasion too. Advertisement Telfer and Christie both wore suits for the wedding, while Ajer, Taylor and Wright were all decked out in suits. 3 It was a day to remember for the Telfer catching up with these four Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Best Rangers manager fit splits the Jury as Celtic evidence condemns Aberdeen to brutal Scottish Cup Final sentence
It's Scottish Cup Final day - are Celtic Treble certainties or can Aberdeen kill off Hoops hopes of another clean sweep? ANDY NEWPORT: The form book suggests Brendan Rodgers will wrap up the silverware with goals to spare. Of course Aberdeen have a punchers chance but they will need a flawless performance against the Hoops - something they've come nowhere near managing in recent head-to-heads. SCOTT McDERMOTT: It's impossible to make an argument for Aberdeen. Jimmy Thelin will need to come up with a managerial masterclass just to be competitive at Hampden - and even then Celtic will probably be too good. Another Treble for Brendan Rodgers is inevitable. MICHAEL GANNON: It's hard to make much of a case for the Dons. They have been so vulnerable of late and don't react well to setbacks. It would need a silly red card to level the playing field but if Celtic turn up, they'll stroll it. SCOTT BURNS: You have to say Treble-chasing Celtic go in as heavy favourites. Aberdeen go into it on a poor run of form and have also lost their last four games against Celtic. But it is a one-off and anything can happen, as we have seen in finals across Europe already this season. Steven Gerrard, Russell Martin, Davide Ancelotti - which of the managerial candidates is the best fit for Rangers this summer? ANDY: Gerrard knows the club and the demands but given the way his recent stints at Aston Villa and in Saudi have gone, fans are right to be concerned. Martin offers a fluid, attractive brand of football and that might be enough to win over the sceptics who've seen their team stagger from one embarrassing result to another this term. SCOTT McD: If it's going to be one of those three, Gerrard ticks the most boxes. He knows the club, the league and the Old Firm goldfish bowl. He won't be fazed by taking on Brendan Rodgers and - crucially - he knows what it takes to win a title at Ibrox. MICHAEL: Gerrard knows the drill and would lift the fans. But Martin is an interesting one. His style of play could be ideal for a Gers side that's struggled to break teams down in Scotland. SCOTT B: I'd go for Russell Martin. He has had success as a manager and also plays a decent brand of football. Davide Ancelotti would be too big a risk and I'm not sure going back for Gerrard is the answer. It's all square in the relegation play-off. Has Ross County's stoppage-time equaliser at Livi swung the tie back in their favour ahead of Monday's return in Dingwall? ANDY: I wouldn't count Livi out just yet. They have experienced campaigners like Danny Wilson and Scotty Pitman down their spine and Davie Martindale remains one of Scotland's most astute coaches. County have edged the play-off final two years on the trot but I suspect it will be third time's the charm for the Championship hopefuls. SCOTT McD: It should do. But Livi were the better team on Thursday night and you certainly wouldn't rule them out in Dingwall. If County stick Jordan White up front with Ronan Hale performing, it could keep the Staggies up. MICHAEL: It was a late blow for Livi but David Martindale's side looked the stronger and they have more of a cutting edge. I fancy the Lions to finish the job in the Highlands. SCOTT B: Ross County got out of jail at Livingston. They now have home advantage and will be looking to make full use of it. Livi, though, have already won there this season and will believe they can do it again. I think the Lions might just edge it. The first leg clash at Almondvale was overshadowed by another moment of shame in the stands - are we at the point where strict liability is the only answer to Scotland's fan disorder crisis? ANDY: The clubs can't keep moaning about the behaviour of unruly supporters and yet do nothing about it. Some of the recent scenes - most notably the Jack McKenzie incident - have been outrageous and it's about time SPFL chairman grew a backbone and brought in proper punishments to deter this nonsense. SCOTT McD: That can be a dangerous road to go down. But the SPFL (the clubs) and the SFA need to work together to tighten up security at grounds and put measures in place aimed at improving fan behaviour which is getting beyond a joke now. MICHAEL: We're at the stage where something drastic is required as there have been too many shameful episodes across the country. Good luck getting strict liability past the clubs – as they know there's a chance all of them would be hit at some point. SCOTT B: We should have had strict liability in years ago but the clubs won't vote for it. Until they do then clubs can't take the appropriate action. We need to change the rulebook and get a grip of our game.
