Rangers boss Steven Gerrard will be on the touchline this weekend as Rangers play Celtic after an SFA disciplinary case against the Gers gaffer was thrown out.

The Rangers manager was hauled up in front of the SFA disciplinary panel for comments he made about a challenge on Alfredo Morelos in the 4-0 win over Dundee United.

But an SFA panel found the case not proven as Rangers publicly railed against the charges brought by the Scottish authorities [Rangers].

Whilst Rangers fans were delighted to see the case thrown out, there’s one group of supporters standing on the sidelines sullen as the Ibrox manager prepares to lead his team into Celtic Park; our rivals.

Some Celtic fans have been bemoaning the decision to let Gerrard walk as some kind of stitch-up.

There’s little doubt it would’ve been hard to justify punishing Gerrard for the nothing comments and the disciplinary panel’s decision proves as much.

But it hasn’t stopped some Celtic fans fuming that the Rangers manager will be in the same dugout where he guided his side to a 2-1 victory in December.

Here’s some of the saltiest Celtic fan responses to the SFA’s decision that Rangers boss Steven Gerrard had no case to answer:

If all this Sevco-ing wasn’t enough for one day, then consider the fact the Celtic Supporters Association have actually wrote an open letter to the SFA regarding referee John Beaton.

The group believe that Beaton’s appointment as referee for the Rangers Celtic match is evidence of a conspiracy being driven by the SFA/SPFL to stop them winning the title. Seriously.
