These teams both come from Glasgow, the biggest city in Scotland. The two teams are by far the most popular and successful in the country, and their rivalry is a classic in Scottish culture which also reflects political, social and religious differences. It’s called the Old Firm whenever these two meet, and the meetings are rarely without drama.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
Not a lot of time to rest for the host team, as they were involved in a Champions League match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at PSV.
