Celtic Fans Mock Rangers Following Defeat to St Mirren, Ignoring Their Own Loss to Hibernian
Celtic fans have sparked a heated debate on Twitter after mocking Rangers for their unexpected defeat to St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership. The mockery, which came in the wake of Rangers’ disappointing 2-1 loss to St Mirren at Ibrox, has attracted attention for its irony, considering Celtic themselves had suffered a 3-0 defeat to Hibernian just weeks earlier.
The St Mirren result saw Rangers drop crucial points in the title race, much to the frustration of their supporters. However, Celtic fans quickly seized the opportunity to poke fun at their bitter rivals. Social media posts flooded Twitter, with memes, jibes, and mocking comments aimed at the Rangers faithful.
While the Celtic supporters seemed to relish in Rangers’ misfortune, many conveniently overlooked their own team’s recent slip-up against Hibernian, which was a much-publicized and painful result for Celtic. The defeat to Hibs at Easter Road, which was also a 3-0 loss, saw Celtic’s form questioned, especially as they were expected to bounce back strongly in the league.
Critics of the Celtic fans’ behavior argue that it highlights a double standard, with many pointing out the irony of mocking another team for a defeat while ignoring their own. Social media quickly became a battleground for fans of both sides, as Rangers supporters responded by calling out the hypocrisy, while Celtic fans continued to revel in their rivals’ woes.
Celtic and Rangers, the two powerhouses of Scottish football, have long had an intense rivalry that often spills over into banter and fierce competition both on and off the pitch. However, moments like this highlight the passionate (and sometimes contradictory) nature of the rivalry, where both sets of fans are quick to point out each other’s misfortunes while downplaying their own.
As both teams continue their campaigns in the Scottish Premiership, it remains to be seen how these defeats will impact their performances moving forward. For Celtic, the mocking of Rangers could be seen as a diversion from their own recent struggles, but it also underscores the intense nature of the Old Firm rivalry, where victories and defeats are never just about the football – they are about bragging rights and pride.
As for Rangers, the pressure is on them to bounce back from their recent loss and continue to challenge Celtic for the top spot. But with both sets of supporters eager to capitalize on any slip-up from the other, it’s clear that the rivalry between these two clubs is as fierce and unpredictable as ever.
In the end, the mockery and banter between the two fanbases will likely continue for the remainder of the season, but one thing is certain: both Celtic and Rangers will be looking to put their respective defeats behind them and focus on the challenges ahead.
