Many Celtic fans are in disbelief over the latest plans put forward by Rangers which outline the way in which they believe the Scottish Premiership should be sorted this season, and unsurprisingly it involves the Hoops not winning the league.
After football has been postponed due to recent events, the Scottish Professional Football League is set to crown Celtic champions as well as relegate Hearts after the 23rd of April, via The Guardian.
However Steven Gerrard’s side, who are 13 points behind the Hoops (via BBC Sport), are not happy with the idea, saying that they will oppose the plans to decide the division and instead want financial support. Their statement goes on to say, “For the avoidance of doubt, Rangers firmly believe the season is only complete when all 38 games have been played to a finish.” via Rangers.
Whilst there are arguments for both sides, it seems like the SPFL will let it go down to a vote, which is due to happen as soon as possible, via The Guardian.
Fans of the Hoops have reacted poorly to their arch-rival’s proposals and understandably so, as the title is within their grasp with only eight games left to play, via BBC Sport.
Here is what fans said about the reports:

They want the money but not the season finished? Reeks of begging. Not 1 club in Scotland will agree with a club who cheated us all for years to gain tainted titles.

The SPFL can’t call the league without EUFA approval.Rangers having a tantrum just amuses everyone else

The prize money cannot be disseminated until there is consensus on final positions. Simples.
