Rangers may have the advantage going into the final Old Firm clash of the season - but only because of how much pressure the referee will be under from an expectant home support.

may have the advantage going into the final Old Firm clash of the season - but only because of how much pressure the referee will be under from an expectant home support .

And Beale, who began the 2023/24 campaign in the Ibrox hot seat before being replaced by Clement in October, was quizzed on the derby match while making an appearance on Sky Sports.He said:"Well, you would say it would give the home team the advantage because there’s no away fans and that puts pressure on the refs. I have been worked 18-19 Old Firm games and it’s only ever been 700 or nothing so the reality is the referee is under a lot of pressure.

"I felt Rangers were a little bit emotional at the weekend with the ball first half because they had the fans behind them in such a big game and it helped Celtic look a little bit more composed. Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
