Rangers fans have been watching on quietly as our rivals across the city meltdown amid a poor run of form and call for the head of manager Neil Lennon.
The Celtic boss is currently on a run of two wins in ten games this season and has seen his side exit the Europa League, crash out the League Cup and fall 11 points behind in the Scottish Premiership.
But with two games in hand to come and violent scenes outside Celtic Park demanding the manager walks, Celtic are refusing to bow down to fan pressure.
Club chief executive Peter Lawwell is backing his man in a decision which sends reverberations right around Glasgow.
The Parkhead powerbroker has given his backing to Lennon and appeared to talk down fan revolts by pointing to the club’s dominance in the last few seasons [Celtic].
With pressure building amongst Celtic fans it’s all very end of days stuff but Rangers must keep focused on what happens in Govan in the coming months.
That said, what happens across the city – in this season in particular – directly affects Rangers and the club’s fans will have one eye on proceedings at Parkhead amid the meltdown.
The Ibrox club’s fans have been big backers of Neil Lennon in the Celtic job and took to Twitter to react to the news that the ex-Celtic midfielder will be kept in the role:

Rangers fans might be enjoying aspects of Celtic’s poor form but few are getting completely carried away with much of the season still to run.
That didn’t stop swathes of Ibrox supporters being left astounded by the reaction of Celtic fans to our rivals’ League Cup defeat at the weekend.
