Funnily enough pal, yes - there was actually an organised 'Union Flag day' by the Rangers fans when we played Hearts at their patch a few years I go. So, what where we doing there? Provoking the Hearts fans?
Have a look at this:

That was against Inter Milan. Of Italy. Does that answer your 'would they be waving those British flags if there weren't Irish people in the stadium to mock and bully' question?
Wrong again. We do not fly the Union Jack as opposed to the Scotland flag, we fly it aswell as the Scotland flag.

See?
You're basically arguing that one club can fly the flag of the country of their origins but the other can't. Either both sets of fans are being provocative or neither are, it can not be any other way. You will see Union Jacks and Saltires at any Rangers match not just when we play Celtic.
Anyway, the football - not surprised in the slightest at the score yesterday. I've been thinking for a while that Celtic wouldn't have the bottle for this run in. There is nobody I would want in charge more than Walter Smith at this point - Lennon played at a team of bottle merchants when the chips were down (the previous run ins, last day deciders etc.) and I fully expected him to be the same as a manager.
He winds people up all day, provokes our fans in an Old Firm match that was under the spotlight in more ways than one (THAT sort of behaviour, the ear cupping, is a better example of provocation) and loves the attention on him but he will be proven as nothing other than a motivational, get-it-right-up-them leader, he is clueless and tactless. With the players at his disposal he should have sailed through this league season and won the title no problem.
