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.
Celtic FC's anthem is "You'll Never Walk Alone." Originally from the musical "Carousel," the song was adopted by the club's supporters in the 1960s and has since become synonymous with Celtic. It is sung passionately by fans before matches, creating a powerful atmosphere and fostering a sense of unity among supporters. The anthem reflects themes of hope and solidarity, resonating deeply with the club's identity.
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.
