In the video, celebrities like Alistair Johnston and Matt O’Riley can be seen dancing and singing along to Taylor Swift’s hit song “Haters Gonna Hate.” The song selection is perfect; it expresses how both the team and the supporters feel after their 2-1 victory over the Rangers, a result that has clearly strained relations throughout the city.
This fun celebration coincides with a three-week break from football, which is ideal given that winter break has begun. The players’ well-timed and well-earned decision to take a break reflects the team’s current high spirits and camaraderie.
They are a group of people who cherish happiness, togetherness, and celebration in addition to their skill on the field and competitive spirit. The players’ bond is only strengthened by this peek into their off-field friendship.

Day Four: Rangers’ Bizarre Celtic Meltdown Gets Fresh Ibrox Statement
Following a highly competitive Glasgow Derby, Rangers’ statement has prolonged the outcry four days later because of the handball incident involving Celtic’s Alistair Johnstone. The Rangers camp has expressed extreme dissatisfaction with Willie Collum’s VAR decision, which has caused a wildfire of reactions to the episode.
A pivotal moment occurred during the game when Johnstone was called for a handball in the box. After reviewing the incident, it was decided that there would be no punishment. Since then, this call has been examined, and certain replays seem to indicate that a penalty might have been the best option. The story gets more complicated, though, because admitting the handball would have meant going back and reexamining an offside in the build-up, which would have negated the Rangers’ penalty advantage.
The Rangers expressed their displeasure in a statement via Record Sport, highlighting agreement from a meeting with Scottish FA representatives that the choice was flawed. They criticized the speed of the VAR ruling and emphasized the lack of discussion about the possible offside during the handball decision. According to what we’ve been told, Willie Collum determined it wasn’t a hand ball, so the offside was not taken into consideration when making the decision. If he had determined that it was a penalty, he would have looked at the attacking phase next. If he had, the offside would have been called and no penalty would have been given.
The Rangers have had a very public breakdown since the loss, claiming that they were wrongfully denied a 20-second penalty opportunity, even though it was ultimately going to be reversed. A picture of chaos and unhappiness has been painted by the headlines and the media’s responses, adding fuel to the fire.
The Ibrox club appears to be making a concerted effort to ensure that they receive a penalty the following time out.
This team refuses to accept that they were defeated by a superior squad. Everything is a little pathetic.
