Glasgow Football Teams

‘The Old Firm’; Celtic and Ranger’s world famous grudge matches are an unmissable sporting event.

One of the oldest and fiercest in world football history, it dates back to the late 1800's, when Celtic were founded in Glasgow's East End. The teams first met at Celtic Park on May 28, 1888 in what was also the Parkhead club's first ever match. 2000 fans watched Celtic win 5-2.

The nickname ‘The Old Firm’ originated in the early years of the 20th Century when the two clubs began to dominate Scottish football and referred, in part, to the massive financial gains associated with their frequent meetings.

No two teams throughout the world have dominated a national championship like Celtic and Rangers, having won between them 87 of the 105 titles since 1890.
