People from Southern Ireland (Eire), usually Catholic, tend to support Celtic because Celtic was formed by an Irish Catholic - Brother Walfrid.

People from Northern Ireland, usually Protestant, support Rangers because they feel they are British.

Hope that helps :)

And by the way, I'm not a fan of either team
