Rangers supporters at Ibrox unveiled a series of banners during their victory over Kilmarnock, featuring messages like ‘All in blue to Hampden’ and ‘Glasgow is blue.’ However, controversy arose when images surfaced on social media suggesting that one of the banners had been taken from their rivals, the Green Brigade. The banner, bearing the words ‘Green Brigade, serial losers…of banners,’ raised suspicion among some Celtic fans who questioned its authenticity.
Despite the implication that the banner was stolen, comments from Celtic supporters cast doubt on the situation. One commenter speculated, “They haven’t made fake banners, have they? These small banners wouldn’t even be visible from the standing section at Celtic Park but conveniently fit perfectly in that little corner they’re being displayed in.”
Another Celtic fan humorously remarked, “Hahahaha, they created fake banners, pretending to have stolen them,” while another sarcastically noted, “Oh dear! They must have splurged a whole thirty quid on those. Such brilliant humor, too.”
The football action on the pitch was just as intense, with Philippe Clement’s team defeating 10-man Kilmarnock 4-1 to close the gap on league leaders Celtic, who secured a 3-0 win over Hearts. This sets the stage for an exciting derby match next weekend, where the champions could potentially extend their lead to six points with two games remaining, or Rangers could set up a tense finale by drawing level on points.
