1) The “Old Firm” ceased to be a term in 2012. Liquidation of one of the teams saw to that.
2) The pandering to the Glasgow 2 starts at the top, from the SFA, more so The Rangers. .
Money dominates every league.
Scotland is no exception.
That’s why the two of them qualifying for the CL is bad news for Scottish footballs “competition”.
The media are imbeciles for not understanding the fans views on this.I’ll never see a non Glasgow team win the league again.
If they avoid each other in cup draws, there’s about an 80% chance at least one of them wins the cups.As I get older, my interest in Scottish football dwindles as there really does seem little point when the absolute best you can do is finish 3rd in a league & try & sneak a cup every decade or two.
The only way true competition will ever exist is if the two of them pissed off from Scottish football.
They’d both drop Scottish football in a heartbeat, but seeing as no-one wants them, they’ll be here for all timeLike so many on these forums you totally miss the point of the term 'Old Firm'. As long as two clubs calling themselves Celtic & Rangers exist to carve up Scottish football into a never ending duopoly with all the financial dice loaded in their favour then 'The Old Firm' remain a term, a fact and a disgrace. See point 2 of your post !

For that one season they were.
Genuinely hilarious how triggered you get about the Lisbon Lions though, it’s as if you exist solely to try devalue anything Celtic have done, currently do or potentially may do.
I know the rent free jibe is banded about quite loosely but for you it just seems to fit perfectly
And it's a genuine honour sir.

Big few days for us, playing the self proclaimed most successful team in the wurld then a few days later playing the most successful team in the world.
Hearing Lawrence is out for a few weeks, bit of a blow for rangers.
Aren't Celtic 1966/67 the most successful team in the world. ?? Someone not toeing the party line here .....?

Maybe not worthless then, but definitely pointless.
Newsflash: Celtic are going to win the league half the time over the rest of our lives. Rangers will win it the other half. Both sides will use each other to ramp up their fans and sell season tickets.
At what point does it become worthless? If Celtic were beating an under 8s girls team 14-0, would we still all cheer and pretend it's normal and it's because we're great?? The league has been financially doped to such an extent that there Celtic can't have any rivalries now, with anyone other than Rangers.
Very true and explains why Celtic didn't strengthen heavily during Rangers 'demotion' and put light years between them and their pals at Ibrox. They didn't really have to, such is the gap between them and the non-Old Firm clubs, but more pertinently they didn't want to. Celtic don't want a massive, insurmountable gap with Rangers and vice versa. This 'rivalry' is vital to them both. It is all they have. If Rangers, as they should have done, had died totally and irreversibly after liquidation then Celtic would have surely soon followed . They need each other, they are, in effect, each other. They know what they're about and TBF they deliver it very well. And, like the Tory party which they resemble so closely, a compliant and cheerleading press ensure that no divergence from the party line is given credible attention. Happy times. !!!!

Mr Postegoclu will change Celtic's style for the CL or he isn't the manager a lot of people believe he is. I think the most Real have scored in Glasgow is 7 and Mr Postegoclu is well aware after today's events that 9 is a sackable offence. He is too shrewd a cobber to let that happen.

FFS give it a rest M8,We all remember the sectarian policy rangers had for over 100 years,since the end of the 90's it's dead with the dodo.
You are living in the past M8 just like the dafties singing the songs at the games.
It takes generations to change that,there is all sorts of people with different religions going to the game these days plus the tribalism is about beaten our city rivals feck all to do with religion dafties like you get that mixed up.When Rangers stop producing Orange strips you may be onto something. When Celtic fans stop singing about the IRA you may be onto something. Otherwise I hope the weather's suitably Clement on whatever planet you inhabit.

MOTD is a highlights show which features every team that has played in the Premier League that day, so don't know how that's relevant? When the BBC have English FA Cup games they select the ties featuring the biggest clubs.
My point is that this happens in literally every country. But there's a weird victim complex among the diddies here like Scotland is a unique case. Big clubs have bigger fanbases. Big clubs have bigger interest in them. It's not rocket science why Dundee v Falkirk wasn't chosen instead.
And it's not rocket science why the Old Firm clubs have bigger fanbases....Over a century of pandering to secterian division and religious tribalism . Proud of that, are you ?

Yeah you seemed to take exception to the term unrivalled. You still haven't come back to me to tell me the other team who won every single trophy available to them in a European Cup winning season with 11 players of the same nationality and born within a few miles of the clubs stadium? And the matter as to if it's the greatest achievement is a subjective one however it is still unrivalled
The floor is now yours if you wish to answer
I was merely pointing out that you're as capable as anyone in posting a well crafted wind-up . There really is no argument to be had. As I have said elsewhere Real Madrid's 5 consecutive European Cups from 1955/56 & Nottingham Forest's run of English Div 2, English Champions and 2 successive European Cups from 1977 to 1980 are clearly bigger 'acheivements' than Celtic 1967. Sorry if that offends your sense of 'Celtic exceptionalism' but your team will always be the first non-latin club to win the European Cup. Isn't that achievement enough ? Why the desperate needy desire to be bigger, better, more glorious and more worthy than everyone else ?

Is having us all on toast not supposed to be when someone basically posts shite to wind people up? He believes everything he writes, so doesn't qualify for the toast jibe.
TBF he did once post that Celtic's sole European Cup win is the greatest achievement in the history of world club football !

Such a weird bunch. Just desperate to be 'the best' at everything. Like you're all searching for validation for something
Reminds me when all the Celtic fans hijacked the BBC poll to vote the Lisbon Lions the greatest club side of all time
What ?!!!! You mean they aren't !!!????

It does seem to be the trend. I did notice earlier the Rangers/Ross County match thread had only 2 pages of posts despite there being a very controversial decision in that match and we are now on 32 pages here in a match where there was no controversy at all, just a freak scoreline.
It is what it is
If you have any feelings of affection for Scottish football and the health of its top flight then a 9-0 home defeat from a club in the same league while parhaps not controversial, is clearly a cause for real concern. And it's a far more pressing issue than whether someone was offside or not.

Commentator must be thick because he referred to Angeball multiple times today. And if you cannae see that Celtic have a very distinct style of play since Ange arrived then I don't know what to tell you.
And I was born into being a Celtic fan so you can stick your glory hunting.
You were born as we all were. You weren't born into being a Celtic fan. That's your choice. Fine. But don't kid on its something divine or mystical.

It's what thick folk that are usually glory seekers following a big team that know very little about football call any style of football when they're winning.
*insert managers name here*ball.
Known in the 60's as 'the Stein Machine' , who TBF were a stunningly brilliant football team unlike today's fast track bullies

It's so lazy to group us together as the OF, Celtic are in a different stratosphere to sevco right now. Ange has us playing amazing football, a standard that the league has not seen in a long time. If you're a football fan, try actually appreciating it.
United were total pish, but some of the goals today were world class.
It's not lazy. 'The Old Firm' is the collective nickname for Rangers & Celtic coined over a century ago as a satirical comment on the way they both operate in tandem to carve up Scottish football in their own interests. As true today as it was back then which is why the name sticks. The term has nothing to do with the relative footballing merits of the two teams.

When, as they surely will, Real put 7 or 8 past these tedious sectarians then the disgrace and shame for United will be complete.

Armed with nothing more than The Doctrine of Jinky Infallibility they hunt down subversive Celtic naysayers wherever they may be found, to keep the streets safe for tales of Calvinist refereeing conspiracies and the unsurpassable glories of 1967.
