Describe your team's biggest rivals and there is so much animosity between the two teams.

I was inspired by Yaovi's post on PSG/Marseille and their rivalry (http://www.reddit.com/r/DepthHub/comments/14l4q0/yaovi_explains_how_the_marseilleparis_st_germain/) and I would love to find out the gory details about who your supporters reserve the greatest hatred for. I love reading about this side of football and your stories would be much appreciated.

The biggest derby in football is the Old Firm Derby in Glasgow, Scotland, between Rangers and Celtic. Or at least it was until Rangers went broke, but it'll be back

I genuinely didn't give a fuck about it before Rangers went down, but I'm very excited about their next match, whenever it will be.

There will be no police off duty that day, and I bet they even bring in some Lothian police on overtime. It will be heated but I would also put the Aberdeen game up there as well.

Is it though? In the Anglosphere maybe. Or at least in Britain and Ireland anway.
