They are havin a laugh..

I've seen the bleacher reports before esc.. They're an American firm. They have other sporting lists which are daft as they have loads of American rivalries etc ahead of great footballing ones.

I'd take it with a pinch of salt as the yanks don't know shít.. Sorry Cali

Yeah the OF might be more passionate but very few outside of the UK care.

Screen Liverpool vs United and the OF at the same time and it's pretty obvious the former would get far more views.

**********************************

Audience doesn't mean great rivalry. The World Cup final gets a massive audience. That doesn't mean it will be intense.

As has been said there is no rivalry now. Rangers are dead

We need to choose between Queens Park, Partick or The Tribute Rangers.

Right now our closest rival in the SPL are St Mirren me and my wee bro at logger heads

Just because a bunch of thick angry Scottish blokes kick the crap out of eachother doesn't mean it's a big derby.

If its in terms if worldwide interest - the OF doesn't compete.

In terms of passion it doesn't compete. Try the superclasico or anything from Istanbul.

"Try the superclasico or anything from Istanbul. "

I tried a kebab once. Serious lack of passion but the aftermath was pretty intensely violent so maybe you've got a point

Papa

Fred I've lived in Istanbul and have family there. Lots of Turks tune in to the Old Firm games. It watched everywhere.

The whole planet does.

There's no game down south that competes at all.
