Sir Alex Ferguson, the former manager of Manchester United, attended a dramatic Scottish Premiership match between Celtic and Rangers at Ibrox Stadium on Sunday, March 1, 2026, as both teams relinquished valuable points in the title race, according to reports from Dagbladet.
The match ended in a 2-2 draw, a result that allows Hearts, currently leading the league, to maintain their surprising position at the top of the table. Pre-match analysis by BBC’s Tom English, reported by Dagbladet, highlighted the intense pressure on both Celtic and Rangers, characterizing the game as a crucial encounter with significant ramifications for both clubs and their supporters.
Rangers took an early lead with a spectacular overhead kick from Youssef Chermiti in the eighth minute, followed by a second goal from the same player in the 26th minute. Chermiti, who previously played for Everton, has become a key player in Rangers’ recent resurgence, the report noted.
However, Celtic mounted a comeback in the second half, securing a late equalizer on over time. The draw leaves both Glasgow clubs trailing Hearts in the league standings, setting the stage for a tense finish to the season.
Ferguson’s presence at Ibrox is notable given his historical success with Aberdeen, the last team other than Celtic or Rangers to win the Scottish league title, achieving this feat in both 1984 and 1985. The Dagbladet report frames his attendance as witnessing “kunst og kaos” – art and chaos – reflecting the unpredictable nature of the Old Firm derby.
Elsewhere in the Scottish art scene, Kunst & Kaos, a gallery located in Røros, is currently showcasing an exhibition featuring the work of Peter Opsvik, with a special display linked to the Vinterfestspill i Bergstaden, beginning March 5th. The gallery is also preparing to host a new exhibition, “Forvandlingens kunst” (The Art of Transformation), featuring the work of Anne Kristin Myrseth and Kathrine Berg, opening March 12th.
In Oslo, Kim Hankyul’s installation “Shore” is currently on display at the Munch Museum, described by Dagsavisen as “cool and fascinating,” though the publication questions the artist’s underlying message. The exhibition is part of the “Solo Oslo” series, showcasing international art students.
