As a Glasgow man I cannot agree more , but then I am biased. it goes deeper than just the game, that has just become an excuse for hundreds of years of religious rivalry. Actually quite glad I am well away from it all now.
One of my friend went to Glasgow to teach french for a year with some program which I forgot the name, when they arrived, they had a briefing where they got explained to never answer Rangers or Celtics if asked which team they were for, anything but one of these for no reasons whatsoever. That friend said that 2 of the teachers from the school he was in got a fist fight because a discussion involving Rangers and celtics along the way. I was quite staggered.
