It's been over three months since both Celtic and Rangers announced their participation in the event scheduled for during the World Cup break in November.

The Light Blues' fans reacted furiously to their club's decision to take part.

The anger was in part around the potential of an Old Firm 'friendly' clash, but also due to the way the tournament was being marketed in Australia.

It's been billed as a 'homecoming' tour for Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou, and Gers fans weren't too pleased to being seen almost as a sideshow to the Hoops boss' return.

It could mean that the organisers are preparing to reveal just who will replace Rangers to participate in the competition.

The branding for the tournament is still quite Old Firm-heavy, with green and white and blue and white surrounding the tournament's logo.

It's taking place in Sydney over four days, from November 16 to November 20.
