Convert timesAbout the Old Firm Derby
First played in 1888, the Old Firm carries historical divides: Celtic are traditionally associated with Irish Catholic immigrants, Rangers with the Protestant community. This religious dimension — now fading in modern Scottish society — combined with football intensity makes every Old Firm genuinely different from any other match.
