One of the hardest fought events in football is the Celtic versus Rangers matches. Celtic versus Rangers is about more than just football. There is a mix of politics, religion and social attitudes involved. Now you would not expect this in a place where both teams are living in the same city and are known as the ‘old firm’. Celtic play Rangers four times in a year and each match is a treat for football lovers. The games are intense, the atmosphere in the stadium is charged, and there is no way you can not get caught up in becoming a fan of either of the teams. Glasgow, Scotland, is where the Celtic Rangers games take place, and the city overflows with fans that flood to Glasgow not only from Scotland but from around the world.

Celtic started playing against the Rangers in 1988 and it is one of the oldest derbies. There is a lot of comradeship between the rival teams, but not when they are playing against each other! The old firm games are notorious for the biggest pitch invasions, arrests, and injuries among fans. Some deaths have also occurred due to this rivalry. Both the teams have won many individual titles. But right now the Rangers are ahead of Celtic in wins.

If you are a football fan and happen to be in the UK, then you will not want to miss out watching any of their matches. You will join fifty to sixty thousand other fans who witness these matches. Get your tickets early so you don’t miss out on one of the most exciting derby events in Scotland.
