For those soccer fanatics (or football I should say) out there, especially those in Scotland perhaps, could you fill me in on the rivalry between the Rangers and Celtic. Is it just a rivalry between two teams from the same town - or is there religion and other things tied into it as well. For those of you who know, or just want to show off your soccer wisdom, please email me at: [email protected] - as I'm not good at remembering to come back here and look at the replies and I'd hate to the clog the board with something as random as this.

 

Of course I could just look up the stuff about it myself but thought I'd ask here first.

Celtic = Catholic

Rangers = Protestant

 

'The Old Firm' derby has been around for a century now :)
