You could also add Dundee FC and Dundee United (whose former name was Dundee Hibernian).

Or even Airdrieonians (as was) and Albion Rovers - but at least the crowds there were small enough for one-to-one discussions.

But PLEASE - I come from the West of Scotland originally, where the question of mixing football and religion - even in a jokey or historical context is STILL so potentially destructive, damaging and downright depressing that I hate to see it resurrected on this thread - and I know that by posting this I'm moving it back to the top of people's "New Posts" lists.

As a supporter of Dunfermline Athletic (best of the rest at the moment!!) I am totally disgusted by the displays of 17th century bigotry that invade my town when Celtic or Rangers play here - and I know that thousands of their own supporters are decent human beings who are equally disgusted.

So, no thanks at all to Curtain for raising this issue, sorry!

Can't even think of a jokey way to end this - too depressed!!!
