The origins of the term "old firm" in reference to games between Glasgow Rangers and Glasgow Celtic are uncertain.
Some believe that it references a newspaper report from the early days of football that stated that the players knew each other so well you could believe them to be "old firm friends".
In his book "The Old Firm : Sectarianism, sport and society in Scotland", William J. Murray claims that the term was a derogatory reference to the over-professionalism of the game as it was seen in the late 1800's.
