Shearer even took time to pose for pictures before experiencing his first in-person taste of the historic fixture between Rangers and Celtic.

Shearer wasn't the only footballing icon in the stands at Ibrox with Gheorghe Hagi also in attendance.

The former Real Madrid and Barcelona ace was at Ibrox to watch his son Ianis Hagi.

Hagi Jr popped up with the first goal of the afternoon at Ibrox and then sprinted to the touchline to celebrate as he appeared to point to his father in the stands.

Sky Sports co-commentator Neil McCann said: "His celebration I think, is for his father who is in the director's box behind us. What a start for Rangers."
