It certainly is the Old Firm derby. There is simply no comparison.

There is a myth that Rangers never signed a Catholic player until Maurice Johnston in 1988, which is just absolute nonsense.

I’m actually laughing at the post saying Rangers are a racist club? Do you know anything about either club?

I would love to be as neutral as possible in describing the match, but Celtic (the club) not their supporters as I have good friends, are just scum and make my blood boil. Booing Simon Weston? Booing Rememberance Sunday? Not wearing a poppy? They are a club who lack any dignity or class.

The whole “religion” context is historical, there are many catholic Rangers fans and many Protestant Celtic fans. The hatred is mainly, now, because of Celtic’s desire to be Irish in contrast with Rangers’ pride of being Scottish and British.

To point the finger at Bill Struth, is just laughable, quite pathetic actually. Can I just add, that he is Britain’s most successful football manager. Bill Struth oozed class and respect for other clubs.

Watching on TV is nothing, you need to live in Glasgow the week prior to the Old Firm derby and be at the game. Thats the experience.

FC Köln v. Moenchengladbach is still pretty fierce. What about St. Pauli v. Hamburg!?

And the vast majority here in the USA is on course with Celtic!!!

Spurs v Ar5ena1 is afterthought for us… The real action if a Spurs fan is with West Ham or Chelsea… Plan your routes to and from the stadiums very VERY carefully if attending these games!!

In relation to Rangers v Celtic… This vibrates around the whole of the UK… The vast majority of England are on course with Rangers…

NO SURRENDER!!!

Rangers is not a racist club, we have many races and religons in our squad, yes at one stage it was a protestant club but now it isnt, the support is stil 99.9% protestant but isnt that the same with celtic and catholics, and also sectarianism works 2 ways, so next time ur quick 2 point ur finger, stop and think and relize ur talkin a lota pish, rangers is more than a club, we are not made a bluenose, we are born one, we dont choose, we’re chosen, ‘SIMPLY THE BEST’ NO SURRENDER
