Of course
We would've lost

The Old Firm derby was to take place on the upcoming Sunday. But all Scottish football games have now been suspended.
What do we think?
Celtic’s 3-1 loss to Copenhagen had seen them get knocked out of the Europa League recently. The first leg in Copenhagen had ended 1-1. While Hoops fans can laugh all they want at Leverkusen beating Rangers, they should remember that they’re out of the competition already.
The Hoops do have a 13-point lead over the Gers in the Premiership table and have made it to the semi-final of the Scottish Cup – but enjoying Rangers’ defeat in the Europa League may be a touch ironic.
