Yeah, I meant rivals as in your main local rivals. Is it still Rangers or is Partick now your biggest local rival? I only ask because I have a few friends that support Celtic, and on one hand they talk about Rangers no longer existing, but on the other hand constantly talk about the history of “Sevco” Rangers as if it was the same club. Just wondering where you stood on this?
I'll answer your question, and hope others don't take offence, and say it's turning into a Celtic forum.
My view is that Rangers went out of business in 2012. A company Sevco Scotland bought the assets of the former company, out of liquidation, and formed a new club, The Rangers. Technically, the current Rangers are a new club, but I'm a bit old fashioned, and think 90 odd percent of a club is where they play, who goes to see them, and what colours they wear.
As the current Rangers play at Ibrox, Rangers fans go to support them, and they wear Rangers colours, they're effectively Rangers, in my opinion. A little something did die when Rangers went out of business, but Rangers are still our biggest rivals, and while there has been outrageous cheating by our football authorities to change the rules about clubs starting up again, just because it's Rangers who went bust, I still class them as Rangers.
I bet your friends get a lot more excited about games against Rangers than they do when Celtic play Patrick Thistle.
