Union Bears light up Glasgow motorway in Rangers colours ahead of Celtic game.
A Rangers fan group lit up the M8 in the club's colours this morning ahead of today's Old Firm derby.Philippe Clement and his players left Ibrox at approximately 10.30am, with supporters outside of the stadium to give them a send-off.
On the team bus' route to Celtic Park, they may have come across the Union Bears, who have been filmed holding up red, white and blue flares at the side of the Glasgow motorway. Fireworks were also audible.Shared on social media, the clip shows hundreds of fans standing off the road, holding pyrotechnics for a display of support for their team.
The return of away fans will be felt next season, with 'European allocations' set to be the expectation from either side of the divide. Rangers head to Parkhead knowing they realistically need to win to keep their Premiership title hopes alive.
Clement, sounding every bit like the fictional Roman general from the Oscar-winning Ridley Scott movie, compared professional footballers to modern day gladiators at Auchenhowie yesterday and the stadiums they play in to colosseums as he looked ahead to the cinch Premiership match in the East End of Glasgow today.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
