Rangers FC
The traditional Glasgow club has been nicknamed in several ways, namely The Gers, The Light Blues and The Teddy Bears. The club's traditional rivals are Celtic, a rivalry with religious and political overtones. Celtic are historically associated with the Irish and Scots of Irish descent, who are predominantly Catholic. Rangers, on the other hand, are recruited from Scottish or Northern Irish Protestants linked to the political strand of British Unionism. Hence the animosity between supporters of both clubs. The colours of Rangers are royal blue, white and red.

Hibernian FC
The usual nicknames for one of Edinburgh's clubs are Hibs, or The Hibees or The Cabbage. The original anthem is Glory, Glory to the Hibees, written by a Scottish comedian. Long-time fans include Scottish singing duo The Proclaimers, who were heavily involved in the "Hands off Hibs" campaign to save the club in 1990. The song from their album Sunshine on Leith then became the current anthem and is traditionally played before big games at the home stadium.
