Godwin ObajeRangers Told Why Delivering a Celtic Guard of Honour is ‘Important’
The debate surrounding a potential guard of honour for Celtic at Ibrox has been ongoing, with former Liverpool hero Danny Murphy weighing in on the discussion. Murphy believes that delivering a guard of honour would be beneficial for the optics, particularly for younger generations.
Murphy’s Perspective
Murphy stated that while he understands why Rangers might not want to give Celtic a guard of honour, he thinks it’s essential for the optics. “I think the most positive thing is the optics are good for the younger generation. I think that’s important for young players to see that,” Murphy told talkSPORT.
Tradition and Motivation
Murphy also highlighted the importance of tradition in football, saying, “That’s probably the biggest benefit, obviously, it is tradition. So, we like traditional traditions in our country.” However, he questioned whether players would be motivated by a guard of honour, suggesting that the players who have won the league are likely to be too ecstatic to care about the gesture.
Conclusion
The debate surrounding a potential guard of honour for Celtic at Ibrox highlights the complexities of football tradition and sportsmanship. While some argue that it’s an important gesture, others believe it’s unnecessary and might add tension to an already intense match. Ultimately, the decision will depend on the teams and their approach to the game.
