I’m not bothered about guards of honour mate. The thread title is about clubs congratulating the champions. Sporting integrity means a few things and one is to respect your opponents and be fair and that can happen in lots of ways. Saying ‘well done’ to your opponent is a way of showing it . The fact these people have bleated about sporting integrity but show none is the point being made. No one is trawling social media looking for a pat on the head. They are pointing out what a bitter set of clubs there are in this country. Fans can watch videos or make them or go on social media looking for anything they want - it’s not North Korea.
How many SPFL clubs have congratulated us so far?

I'm not sure how much I'd care - if at all - if every club in Scotland sent us congratulations
(which of course they won't)
But looking back on previous 'etiquette', generally accepted traditions & the spirit of fair competition - not just in our wee backwater - but in other countries as well - it does tell a story & gives a good indication of just how pathetic, insular & hypocritical those involved are
Not that I give a tinker's curse - or even expected anything different
(which of course they won't)

It’s us against the rest of this whole rotten backwater. To hell with the Celtic mafia and their Jock Tamson lickspittles.

Who cares? No team congratulated Celtic when they won it, I wouldn’t want them nor should they congratulate us.

Just another example really how we can't ever rely on support from any other club.

Very true, good marketing opportunities there for a tie - in with Drew the WWE champ; if the club wanted to look down that avenue.

Well, if you think about that and what may go through their minds?
All these small wee clubs saw us being stripped to bones and thrown in amongst them. Saw our money filling their small coffers and maybe wonder how all those people still supported us, numbers that they never have achieved, for one reason or another. We passed them by without much of a glance, bar the odd moment of small club glory against a skeleton of a Rangers team (compared to days gone by or now), a moment that will be talked about in the local pub or pubs, if that have more than one. They reverted back to normal once we had left their leagues, that self-interested Scottish clan mentality about grabbing money and keeping the knife at the ready ... remember The Vote.
Then came those clubs who had at least some stature in days gone by, Dunfermline, Hibs, Hearts, Dundee United et al. In a similar way, they celebrated any win against us like they actually had achieved something great, while back in the shadows of their meagre trophy rooms there was gnashing of teeth and wailing at the moon, how we still eased passed them over the years, despite being held back by Ashley and his lackeys. How desperate they and now the likes of Aberdeen must look as they, over the course of our absence hardly managed to fulfill any hope that had when voting us out. That "New Firm" team of underachievers, who let the likes of St. Johnstone, Ross County and even ICT grab nigh any cup that the Scum threw away. How they were bypassed in top six placings by the (even more) provincial clubs time and again, quite a few even dropped into 2nd tier.
No, I expect no real praise or even grudging acceptance from those failures, who will keep safe distancing from anyone but their own interest, grumbling in the shadows and pray for their next wee success in a cup upset or about a league point won.
Kudos to those who jump over their shadows.

Gibraltar side St Joseph also tweeted congrats, alongside pics of their players and staff in and around the stadium when they were here for the 2nd leg 6-0 Europa League qualifier. They seemed quite taken by the awesome Ibrox Stadium
