Lessons from mismatched rivalries

Rangers v Celtics 2021

North of the border, Celtic hosted Rangers in the season’s first Old Firm clash at Celtic Park. Later, it was red against red and Dutchman against Dutchman in the dugout, as Liverpool travelled to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United.

These two fixtures are the biggest matches in their respective nations; they feature the biggest two clubs in their leagues, two passionate fanbases who have no love for each other, and are played in some of the greatest stadiums in Britain.
