People romanticise the past. The Hampden riot in 1980, Maley's comment that he 'hoped it was an accident', the Celtic support for the Nazis during WWII. Rangers and Celtic, fans and clubs, have always hated each other.
Our big mistake, and I suspect this is where some frustration comes in, is that we didn't try and put our foot on their throat in the 1990's when they were struggling to stay afloat. There were plenty of chances to cause them all sorts of bother. However, we just ignored them, our leadership was weak and had no historical memory of how the Yahoo would behave if the boot was on the other foot. We missed an opportunity then and they've done the opposite to what we did in the 1990's.
My old man warned me it gets worse as you get older, he was spot on.
Despise them more with every passing day
We didn't try to finish them because our club makes money from them.
Growing up in the 1960s and early 1970s, I never hated Celtic with the passion I do now. Yes, there was a rivalry but it was very much live and let live.
Now I hate Celtic the institution. I feel that they have poisoned Scottish football. Theirs is a constant campaign against us on every front. They have overtly tried to influence referees, they have attempted to take over the SNP and they have subverted the mhedia.
I don't generally hate individual Celtic fans. I take them as I find them. But I detest everything that Celtic the club stand for.
It's getting worse.. in group conversation in work 2 of them chatting and one saying he thinks it's going to be an easy 3 or 4-1 game and the other saying that anderlecht game is there main game. Was good to see there glakit glare to each other when not one rangers fan took them on....wanks!!
Probably not as much as now but the last season under Walter 2010/11 the hatred was wild that year. Ramped up by Lennon etc. One of my favourite title wins that one.
