The Old Firm
The Rangers-Celtic Old Firm rivalry is one of the oldest + fiercest in world football, dating back tae the late 19th century wen Celtic were founded in Glasgow's East End.
The teams 1st met at Celtic Park on May 28, 1888 in wot was also the Parkhead club's first-ever match. Around 2,000 fans saw the home side win 5-2.
The nickname 'The Old Firm' originated during the early year of the 20th century when the clubs began to dominate Scottish football + the term in part referred to the financial benefits associated with their frequent meetings.
No 2 teams have dominated their national championship as much as Rangers + Celtic - between them they have won 87 of the 105 Scottish titles available since 1890.
And they have also contested numerous dramatic head-to-head encounters.
FIVE OLD FIRM FACTS
1 -
Rangers' biggest league victory Celtic was the 5-0
thrashing of September 1893. Their best Premier triumphs were the 5-1 wins of August 1988 and November 2001.
2 -
The largest crowd ever to watch an Old Firm game was the 132,870 which saw the 1969 Scottish Cup Final at Hampden. The clubs hold the British record attendance for a league match - 118,567 watched their New Year derby at Ibrox on January 2, 1939.
3 -
The Light Blues' best score in an Old Firm fixture was the 8-1 of January 1, 1943. Unfortunately, like all wartime games, the match is classed as unofficial!
4 -
Ally McCoist is Rangers' top modern-day goalscorer in Old Firm matches with 27 goals between 1983 and 1998. However the famous R.C. Hamilton hit 35 goals against Celtic in various competitions during the late 1890s and early 1900s. Celtic's leading scorer in the fixture is Jimmy McGrory, who ties with McCoist on 27.
5 -
Alfie Conn is the only player to have won Scottish Cup medals with both Old Firm sides. The midfielder scored for Rangers in the 1973 Old Firm Final + was in the Celtic team which defeated Gers 1-0 in 1977.
