The violence, the sectarianism, the proxy war linked to The Troubles in Northern Ireland and what it means to be Scottish — all of it is tied up in the Old Firm, Celtic vs Rangers, Glasgow's white-hot derby. A particularly ugly Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park even saw alcohol banned from Scottish football stadiums.But what about the commercial side?Because from the beginning, all concerned have recognized the financial opportunity generated by Scotland's greatest rivalry. “The Old Firm” name may well come from a cartoon that satirized the whole thing as a joint business enterprise, and fans have rebelled against the two clubs and the authorities for reasons financial. Some local companies, like Tennent's brewers, have even chosen to sponsor both Celtic and Rangers simultaneously — because to choose just one could mean financial ruin. After all, both sides are more than happy to stage a boycott.The 447th Old Firm derby was played Sunday, as early as possible to (theoretically) keep the number of pints consumed beforehand to a minimum. Rangers have won 171 of those meetings, Celtic 170. Last year, ahead of the first Old Firm of 2024/25, Chris McLaughlin of the BBC Scotland joined the show to run through the rich and tempestuous history of this very particular derby match.Get more on this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAGSb8lq12g&pp=2AYB Hosted on Acast.

The Go Radio Football Show: 7th of August, 2025 In Association with Burger King. This is a catch-up version of the live, daily Go Radio Football show. Join host Paul Cooney alongside ex Celtic Striker Andy Walker and ex Rangers Defender Richard Foster. The episode opens with reflections on Rangers' impressive 3–0 win over Viktoria Plzeň in European competition. The performance was marked by high energy and tactical discipline, with standout contributions from Antman, Gassama, and Dessers. Russell Martin's bold managerial decisions - dropping captain James Tavernier and midfielder Nico Raskin - were praised for sparking a strong team response. His direct communication style and tactical clarity were seen as key to Rangers' resurgence. Celtic's season opener against St Mirren was also analysed. While the team secured a win, the performance was considered underwhelming, with Adam Idah missing key chances. Fans express concern over the lack of new signings, especially with Champions League qualifiers looming. Celtic were linked with winger Clément Bischoff and defender Adam Obert, and the recent signing of Simpson-Pusey from Manchester City was highlighted for his composure and passing ability. The need for a new striker and winger is discussed, with Maeda's relentless work rate and impact praised as vital to the team's success. The show also explores the importance of strong European performances by clubs like Hibs, Dundee United, and Aberdeen , along with the potential for Hearts to challenge the Old Firm in future seasons thanks to investment from Tony Bloom. The debate over whether Rangers now have the best front three in Scotland was lively, though Celtic are still seen as stronger overall. Pyrotechnics at matches led to suspended ticket allocations for Celtic, Aberdeen, and Partick Thistle, prompting calls for fans to follow regulations. Player spotlights included Aston Villa's rejection of an £18M bid from Everton for John McGinn, whose leadership and versatility is praised. Scott McTominay and Caroline Weir are both nominated for the Ballon d'Or, showcasing Scottish talent on the international stage. Bojan Miovski is suggested as a potential Celtic signing due to his intelligent movement and finishing ability. Looking ahead, the weekend fixtures promised excitement, with key matches including Aberdeen vs Celtic, Rangers vs Dundee, and St Mirren vs Motherwell. The transfer window, with 25 days remaining, is expected to bring strategic moves from both Celtic and Rangers. Don't miss it – hit subscribe, play and get stuck in!
