Ex-Rangers title winner Chris Burke believes Scottish football is set for another Helicopter Sunday regardless of the result in the Old Firm game.

WATCHING his Rangers team mates take on Hibernian from the Easter Road dugout in the final league game of the 2004/05 season proved to be a nerve-shredding, stomach-churning, nail-biting experience for Chris Burke.

With their city rivals Celtic, who had been leading by two points, conceding two goals in the final three minutes of regulation time and crashing to an unexpected 2-1 defeat to Motherwell over at Fir Park, Rangers were crowned champions amid scenes of wild rejoicing. “It is great for the Scottish game. If we could ever see that again it would be fantastic for the country. It creates memories. If I had to single out one highlight from my playing career it would be that day because it came down to that day.

Burke continued: “We had huge characters. I learned from Barry Ferguson, the De Boers, Shota Arveladze, Dado Prso and Fernando Ricksen during my time at Rangers. Every single one of them had ability and could change a game. Celtic are three points clear of Rangers going into the derby on Saturday and are, having won two and drawn one of their three encounters with their nearest challengers this term, strong favourites to prevail and secure a third consecutive Scottish title.
