Today marks the first Old Firm Derby since Rangers returned to Scotland's top table.

Or, if you're from a certain section of the Celtic support, the first Old Firm Derby since a new club called Rangers made it to the Scottish Premiership for the first time in their short history. The Gers squad arrived at Celtic Park early ahead of the lunchtime kick-off, and as Celtic fan Joey Barton and his Rangers team-mates got off the bus they were greeted with some particularly tuneful Bhoys fans.

Maybe it's a subtle and creative allusion to Rangers' over-reliance on former players returning to Ibrox, like Kenny Miller or Danny Wilson. Yes, it's probably that, right? Anyway, we're sure fans of both clubs just chuckled gently at the chants and got on with their day, like anyone would. https://twitter.com/MulberryPoppins/status/774548406249349120 https://twitter.com/_notnA_/status/774552989017276416 https://twitter.com/bestplumbererer/status/774555614387331072 https://twitter.com/Spaztek12/status/774543992562262016 Considering the side-plot involving Joey Barton - and the WWE-style clash expected when he comes face to face with Scott Brown - this is hardly likely to be a quiet one. Not that an Old Firm game ever is, mind you. Read more
