The two Glasgow based clubs in Scotland, the Rangers and the Celtic are collectively referred to as the Old Firm, however the origin of this term is unclear.

These two clubs are by far the most famous and successful clubs in Scotland with the old firm rivals winning 103 out of the total 121(85%) Scottish Football League Cups played till now.

Their utter dominance in the Scottish League is the major reason for their rivalry. However, this is not the only reason. It was also infused with a series of complex disputes, sometimes centered on religion (Catholic and Protestant), Northern Ireland-related politics (Loyalist and Republican), national identity (British or Irish Scots), and social ideology (Conservatism and Socialism).
