The sun hung low over Celtic Park, casting a soft golden hue on the immaculate green pitch as fans began to stream into the stadium. The Glasgow Derby, the fierce battle between Celtic and Rangers, was only minutes away, but the tension in the air was already palpable. Both sets of supporters, draped in their respective green-and-white or blue-and-white scarves, filled the stands, their voices building in volume as kick-off neared.
On the field, the players were going through their final warm-ups, the atmosphere charged with anticipation. Celtic, led by Neil Lennon, were out first, their players passing the ball between them with crisp accuracy. Callum McGregor was stretching near the touchline, while Kieran Tierney jogged back and forth, eyes focused ahead.
