Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

Re: Scottish premier league.

Do Celtic fans also have affinity with or a soft spot for Hibs, or is that seen as a rivalry for the same kinds of fans? (or nothing at all and I don't understand Scotch football!) Proddies v Cathodes innit Celtic & Hibs have religious connection of sorts (historically) I thought they were both...
