Traditionalist Brendan Rodgers admits he would like to see Rangers respect their title win with a guard of honour but admits it’s a “challenge” for the Light Blues because they have been second so often. Celtic head to the home of their rivals on Sunday a whopping 15 points clear at the Scottish Premiership summit but Rangers boss Barry Ferguson confirmed his team won’t clap their rivals onto the park. The Hoops have won 13 of the last 14 titles and Rodgers said: “The Guard of Honour thing, it's not a rule, that's the first thing I would say. "It's not in the rules that you have to do it. And I think that when two clubs in the rivalry are so emotional, it's always difficult for the team that comes up short. “So it's one that I'm relaxed either way on it. It's one where I'm a little bit of a traditionalist, because there's a lot of things that are going out of our game over in these isles that are just moving away from the traditions of the great managers and the great people that ran our game and were successful in our game. “And I always think if you're a champion to show, or not a champion, showing that humility to the other team, whatever the rivalry is, it's a mark of respect. But like I said, Celtic Rangers, it's an emotional rivalry. “And if you come up short quite a lot, then it can be a challenge for you and to justify that with your supporters. But as I said, I'm a traditionalist. “These are the things that have been in our game for many, many years. And like I said, there’s no rule to it, but I'm relaxed either way on it really.” Rangers boss Ferguson - who could welcome masked defender Leon Balogun back from the broken cheekbone he suffered in the Europa League defeat to Athletic Bilbao - has ruled out handing Brendan Rodgers’ newly crowned kings of Scotland a guard of honour. "I don't know why there's always a big clamour about a guard of honour, it's never happened in the past, whether it's Celtic, whether it's Rangers,” he said. “I think it'll always just remain that way. “Celtic are champions for a reason, because they've been the most consistent throughout the season. But in terms of a guard of honour I don't see it. It’s never happened in the past.
