Barry Ferguson plans to make a private mark of respect towards Celtic's title triumph at Ibrox on Sunday.
The interim Rangers head coach, however, has ruled out giving the newly-crowned Scottish Premiership champions a guard of honour.
Celtic secured their 55th title last weekend against Dundee United with an emphatic 5-0 victory.

Brendan Rodgers makes his point clear on no Rangers guard of honour for Celtic
Adam Idah and Nicolas Kuhn each scored braces in the triumph after Ryan Strain's own goal opened the scoring half an hour in.
Brendan Rodgers now takes his team across the city on Sunday, yet Ferguson has ruled out giving them a guard of honour.
He said: "I don't know why there's always a big clamour about a guard of honour, it's never happened in the past, whether it's Celtic, whether it's Rangers. I think it'll always just remain that way.
"Celtic are champions for a reason, because they've been the most consistent throughout the season. But in terms of a guard of honour I don't see it.
"It’s never happened in the past. So why should it happen going forward?"
Ferguson later stated that, instead of a guard of honour, he will make a separate, more private gesture to congratulate Celtic on their triumph: "One thing I will do is, I will shake Brendan's hand and as, 'Well done for being so dominant'," he said [Sky Sports].
"There's no doubt that's been the case this year. That's got to hurt. There's no doubt it's hurt me and the staff and that's got to hurt the players as well."
Kick-off on Sunday at Ibrox is at midday as Celtic look to get their first win over Rangers this year.
