There is no 'hatred' between the clubs, only between some very niave fans. Both Rangers and Celtic are working towards ridding the game of these idiots, and those who constantly sing sectarian songs (some of whom have managed to find their way to these forums).

Being a Rangers fan, I don't particularly like Celtic, however, I certainly don't hate them - indeed I found myself cheering them on against Mourinho's divers in the UEFA final - and I am sure there will be plently of Celtic fans who will be hoping Rangers doing well. We have already raised Scotlands European coefficient enough to get a team straight into the group stages in 2009 - therefore indirectly helping Celtic.

Healthy rivalry is a very good thing to have - and you can't beat the passion and dedication of the Old Firm fans. Maybe with the the stance of UEFA and both the clubs the next generation of fans will show everyone that supporting one of the old firm does not involve so called 'hatred'. Anyone who does think so is without doubt the lowest of the low.
