Old Firm feuding

They say absence makes the heart grow stronger, but we’re not so sure.

Celtic and Rangers may have played in separate divisions since 2012, but the Bhoys are in no rush to see their crosstown rivals any time soon.

Rangers are currently sitting pretty atop the Scottish Championship and could have confirmed their promotion back to Scotland’s top tier with a win against Raith Rovers.

As the game entered stoppage time, the league leaders held a 3-2 advantage and fans began to celebrate.

But a 94th-minute equaliser from Harry Panayiotou meant the Ibrox faithful will have to wait another week until being crowned Championship champions.

Unsurprisingly, their Old Firm rivals enjoyed the shift in tone.

Still, some Rangers fans saw the bright side, as they now had the chance to secure promotion in front of a packed Ibrox.
