I think you need to look at this in the light of the stupid hatemongering that has gone on for too many years in Glasgow, between Celtic [Catholic supporters] and, Rangers [Protestant supporters]
I don't wish to be dismissive of an opinion coming from a man with your background Joe, but I really think that if you haven't lived in and around Glasgow/Central Scotland, you can have no idea of the squabbles this rivalry engenders.
People have been murdered in Glasgow just for supporting the 'wrong' side. It really is a matter of life and death for some of the knuckle draggers who espouse whichever team.
