That shouldn’t change just because they are playing away from home. If the shoe was on the other foot, we wouldn’t be happy For me personally if the tweet from Rangers had read "at the request of Aberdeen FC Rangers have agreed to a 1 minute applause in recognition of the death of their former manager, Billy McNeill" I think most Rangers supporters could bring themselves to applaud. However, they haven't said that, they have said it is because he was such a great man, even though involved with celtic during their blackest days.

The Ibrox Derry 8,820 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 It's about time football done away with these disingenuous minutes applauses and silences for individuals. I for one would be embarrassed if it was for me. Just keep it to Remembrance Day and the Ibrox Disaster. If the truth be told, none of us deserve any applause for the way we have lived our life's.

Silence is obviously better imo but if you decide to hold a tribute you should go with the family's wishes. No his family requested that shower have an applause and make a noise not anyone else this is a massive mistake by our board silence is the right and proper way to show respect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Enclosure Row N 2,799 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 We are playing Aberdeen McNeil was Aberdeen Manager 77-78. Don't see an issue in this. Don't give a fuck what any keyboard warriors think either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Eric Caldow honoured by celtic in any way? Was going to ask the same question about Sandy Jardine, dont remember there being anything from other clubs?
