Rangers hand out 'Old Firm' flags at fan village ahead of Celtic as unseen derby branding emerges

Rangers handed out 'Old Firm' flags to their supporters ahead of kick-off in the crucial clash with Celtic.

The branding covered Ibrox ahead of the crucial top of the table Premiership showdown.

The name for Scottish football's showpiece match has been a bone of contention with Celtic fans opting for the 'Glasgow derby' post-2012.

It was also one of the issues that caused the club to pull out of the Sydney Super Cup tournament.

During the game the club made their point over the name of the derby clash when 'This is the Old Firm' was shown on electronic advertising boards filling the stadium.

Callum McGregor and James Tavernier led the teams out under an arch with the name emblazoned on a blue background. The archway was spotted in the Ibrox bins by fans less than 24 hours after full-time.

Now a snap has been shared on social media showing flags that were handed out to supporters at the Rangers fan village ahead of kick-off.

Twitter user @rbewhe1 shared the image of staff giving blue flags to fans that can be seen to carry the words 'Old Firm'.
