Rangers fans love Oli McBurnie and John Fleck huddle refusal but Celtic supporters mock Sheffield United pair

Oli McBurnie and John Fleck reiterated their loyalty towards Rangers as the Scotland pair remained standing during Sheffield United's huddle prior to their 2-1 defeat to Chelsea.

Diehard Gers fan McBurnie is renowned for refusing to take part in the pre-match routine over the years, which is an infamous Celtic tradition.

And the striker took the opportunity to show his allegiance towards the Ibrox club once again before the Premier League clash against Thomas Tuchel's men.

Fleck, who came through the Rangers youth ranks, also joined him as the pair were the only two Blades players standing during the pre-match pep talk.

And Rangers fans were lapping it up as a picture circulated online.

@DeekWilson said: "You love to see it."

@Ljt10x added: "I love the fact this really winds that lot up."

@JordanBrogan_ tweeted: "A f****** love this from Fleck & McBurnie."

@sgrummett95 said: "Respect."

But Celtic supporters had a completely different view of their actions and reckon it's a cringe-worthy move by the Scotland duo.

@StevenR63592910 tweeted: "Embarrassing."

@barryquinn11 said: "Couple of nobodies."

@stephenrcardiff added: "Stupid more like."

@Tommy_Hamilton said: "What a cringe!!!"
