A Rangers fan was left raging after his neighbour decided to jokingly erect a Celtic flag in his front-garden.
Gers-daft Henry Vanloon, who moved to Halifax 50 years ago, found the green flag flying outside his door as neighbour Duane Poyser aimed to rile the Govan native up ahead of Sunday’s clash at Celtic Park.
Poyser, 33, filmed the prank, exposing Henry’s “subtle” operation to remove the rival team’s flag from his garden through CCTV footage.
The door supervisor, who doesn’t support any football team, shows the Bhoys flag blowing in the wind before cutting to the end result of his prank, where the flag had mysteriously fallen down.
Duane’s video then shows CCTV footage of the neighbours’ shared fence as Vanooon swiftly dispatched the Celtic flag on his property.

Upon being questioned on the whereabouts of the green and white banner, the pensioner jokingly claims a “freak wind” is responsible.
Speaking to Glasgow Live, Duane insisted the Old-Firm wind up was done in good faith, saying he enjoys a friendly relationship with his Glaswegian neighbour.
He said: “It’s not serious! We’ve get on really well. I thought it would be funny to wind him up with a Celtic flag. He took it well but he wouldn’t come near me when I had the flag round my neck!”.
“He saves up every year doing odd jobs like picking up litter in the street and helping in people’s gardens so he can get a hotel in Glasgow to go and watch Rangers.
“He’s always got Rangers flags up and keeps telling me how absolutely loves the team”.
Rangers travel to Parkhead on Sunday as they aim to stop Ange Postecoglou's side from effectively sealing their 52nd league title with a victory over their bitter rivals.
