Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers.
Celtic, mostly supported by catholics and supposedly formed by an Irish monk, (Brother Walfrid) on 6th November 1887.
Rangers mostly supported by protestants.
Celtic colours are Green and White.
Rangers are blue and white.
Rangers are having major financial difficulties lately and have gone through a few different owners.
The most famous of these are, Craig Whyte and right after Mr. Whyte, a guy named Charles Green.
That's quite ironic that these two guys are named, Green and Whyte which are Celtics colours!!!
For years, Rangers refused to sign players who were Catholic. A few Catholic players have slipped through the cracks but in 1989, Maurice Johnston signed for Rangers.
Johnston was not only a Catholic, but a former Celtic player!
Fans from both teams in Glasgow were livid.
On May 25th 1967, Celtic were the first British team to win the European Cup (now named Champions League).
Rangers have won the Scottish League title a record 54 times.
There's so much more...
Both teams have won the Scottish League title 9 times in a row.
Fergus McCann rescued Celtic FC in 1994 when the Bank of Scotland informed Celtic they were calling in the "receivers" as it was in a lot of debt.
That date was March 3rd 1994. (3/3)..
I watched a recent "Old Firm" derby and had to laugh when Rangers made a substitution... they brought on a player called "Dodoo" who replaced a player called "Windass"... I kid you not!
