Rivalries
The Rangers v. Celtic rivalry, known as the ‘Old Firm derby’, is one of the fiercest rivalries in world football. It has been around since 1879 and combines football, religion, and politics to create an environment that is about much more than simply the game. As a game, though, it has happened more than 400 times, and it’s so competitive…

Going to a Game at Rangers
GETTING THERE: It’s a short walk from the Ibrox Subway Station, so that’s the way to go. It’s about 15 minutes from the city center; note you’ll be taking the Outer line there and the Inner back, as the Glasgow Subway is just one big loop. The Ibrox Station is pretty small, so it will be a mess after the game. PUBS: Right…

Rangers Tickets
Your best bet for getting a ticket from the club is if you buy a membership (requires one per ticket at around £50 per season). With that in hand, you may get one for lesser games, but your best bet is probably the resale section of their website, SeatSub, where season ticket holders can put unused tickets on sale. In all cases, getting two together is hard.
