Football's Most Dangerous Rivalry

The rivalry between football clubs Rangers and Celtic goes past typical name calling and dives into violence, racial slurs and pure hatred.

The rivalry between Glasgow's "Old Firm" sides is the most famous in world football. It's the game's flagship loathing, proof of the power of the sport to inspire profound levels of tribal loyalty and a near-Pavlovian revulsion at anything to do with a rival. We examine the situation and try to get a handle on the political, religious, and national identity clashes that have shaped the rivalry, speak to fanzine editors on both sides of the divide and travel with the Bhoys' away support to a match at Tannadice.

[oh well]

A bunch of pissed sweaty men in a pub rubbing together with their arms around each other singing "let's all do the huddle"... wow hetro.

[25DoubleK]

Lol that joke at the beggining was actually funny

[hecktick133]

Fucking stupid vice, this is nowhere near the most dangerous rivalry in the world... UK has nothing on a scale comparable to Lazio vs Roma, Galatasaray v Fenerbahce, Boca and River Plate.. half the countries of eastern europe probably outdo this rivalry as well when it comes to passion and hatred.

[MegaSteph1976]

you must be off you fucking head m8. celtic/rangers have a history through religion hatred so this has carried on into football unfortunetly. what the fuck are you guys fighting for when villa have a derby, fuck all, just sheer violence m8. the old firm have deep routed religious hatred, you ever seen what happened in ireland?. my point is celtic/rangers have deep seeded issues through religion and war but you english do it for no reason. explain please

[MegaSteph1976]

this is obviuosly rangers orientated, you doc has some very good points by supporters on both sides and i hope we continue to come together and show some sort of respect towards each other,. you are clearly showing celtic as the worse out of the two, dony say you arent cause im sick of listening to why rangers are not guilty of anything

[MegaSteph1976]

youre in the edl and seem to promote this , youre an idiot an a hypocrite

[MegaSteph1976]

i get the documentry, but to post celtic fans using unacceptable shouts in the old firm derby is wrong dude, it happens on both sides and we shouldnt be singled out as if we are the only ones to do this during a game,the hatred is on both sides m8

[TheGAMEZER1998]

Every 15 minutes ? In Rugby they for 80 minutes and have a break at the 40 minute. In Football they play 90 minutes and have a break at the 45 minute. Why does American Handegg have to have a break every 15 minutes in a 1 hour game?
