Long story, but basically Ranger's fans have long been Protestantism and the Union with Britain, whereas Celtic fans have always been Irish/ Scots of Irish decent and or Catholics. And there is a long running rivalry between Protestants and Catholics.
The rivalry between the sets of fans is a reflection of the political difficulties in Northern Ireland, where Rangers' fans are mainly Unionists and Protestant, whereas Celtic Fans are mainly Republicans and Catholic. Sectarianism is the main problem, which is quite strong in Scotland.
As of March 20, 2008 Rangers - 51 championships, 31 Scottish Cups, 25 Scottish League Cups, 1 European Cup-Winner's Cup. Celtic - 41 championships, 34 Scottish Cups, 13 Scottish League Cups, 1 European Cup.
in 1961, rangers travelled to wolverhampton to play wolverhampton wanderers in the European cup winners cup. true to form, their supporters ran riot through the town destroying everything in their path. in an article appearing in the English press shortly afterwards they were described as 'coming across the border like marauding huns'. thus, a humorous accurate and nonsectarian term of endearment was created for the rangers.
AnswerI believe the first fans to do that were New Orleans Saints fans. It soon spread to other teams.
The earliest known recording of Celtic fans singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" is dated 1970 in opposition to Leeds United. The song was not performed all that often at Parkhead during the 1970s; most recordings are dated 1986 onward, with the song being sung at almost every home game from the 1989/90 season to the present day.
Jet engines are made of fans, they get smaller and smaller as the jet gets deeper... U know how jets are big at one end and small at the other? That's because the fans get smaller and what it does is the air condenses and escapes at a great force through the other side.

Celtic by far the louder of the fans we even knocked a radio station off the air once when jorgie cadete scored his first goal for us in the 5-1 mauling of aberdeen
according to Electronic Arts They never listen to what the Celtic and Rangers fans want,but at the moment nothing is confirmed, Celtic Park could be be in FIFA 13 but the chances are still looming.
Both clubs are definetley in the top 5 most supported clubs in britain, With the old firm unforchantly has a religious aspect to it, and scotland is a mainly preotestant country Rangers have the biggest support also rangers have a big following from over in ulster with 50 buses running reguarly to the games. Celtic on the other hand have a big support in ireland and big in scotland too, as ave said rangers probably do have a bigger support but celtic are known more worldwide.
