My Rangers and Celtic hunch tells me the game of title pass the parcel is set to continue - Hugh Keevins

We’ll know the exact day when climate change has done for all of us. Celtic and Rangers fans will herald the start of a new season with a display of mutual respect and an agreed acknowledgement that the best team will win in the end.

And that will be the day when Hell freezes over. The climate hasn’t changed regarding the Old Firm for the last 134 years and there was a symbolic demonstration of that being the case last Tuesday. On the day of the hottest temperatures in the history of mankind in Britain, it rained in Glasgow.

Not for long, but a shower persistent enough to prove the city of Celtic and Rangers will do what it likes – and global warming has no jurisdiction within its boundary. Not even on the day when the earth caught fire. Contrary. It’s what we do.

Irrefutable proof, for those who want to believe these things, that Celtic have the governing body in their back pocket and run Scottish football for their own convenience. Then the BBC issued a public apology to Rangers for errors of journalistic judgment in their coverage of the club’s affairs and were allowed back in the front door of Ibrox to cover matches for the first time in seven years, starting next weekend.
