THE Celtic title party will arrive at the home of their biggest rivals for the final Old Firm of the season on Sunday.
But Rangers are unlikely to be in a welcoming mood for Celtic’s first match since securing a fourth straight Premiership title.

Brendan Rodgers’ side can enjoy their remaining four league games having already sealed the title.
That’s before they head to Hampden for the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen on 24 May, trying to secure yet another Treble.
The Hoops could even have wrapped up the title earlier, before eventually getting the job done with a 5-0 win at Dundee United.
Rangers hero Kris Boyd even suggested his old side would be HAPPY that the league is wrapped up.
But it’s highly unlikely that we’ll see Gers welcome the champions with a guard of honour at Ibrox on Sunday.
Celts midfielder Luke McCowan isn’t expecting to be greeted warmly on the other side of Glasgow – and didn’t think it was worth speculating what would happen if the roles were reversed.
Asked by Clyde whether he was expecting a guard of honour at Ibrox, McCowan said: “No, not at all, but that’s just how it is, isn’t it?
“I don’t know how it would be if it was on the other foot, but we’ll never really know I don’t think.
“We’ll wait and see what happens.”
Gers last won the league during lockdown in 2020/21, when Celts declined to give a guard of honour in the first Old Firm clash after Steven Gerrard’s men sealed their 55th crown.
Meanwhile, Hoops boss Rodgers is one of three gaffers named on the shortlist for SPFL Manager of the Year.
Last year’s winner John McGlynn is again on the shortlist, with Falkirk on track for back-to-back promotions and a return to the top flight after winning League One unbeaten last term.
And Hibs boss David Gray rounds off the list, having turned around the Easter Road side’s fortunes to have them sitting third.
