The Old Firm's success is based on sectarianism and the continued fostering of it. Glasgow has a population 1.5 times that of Edinburgh but the old firm attract 112,000 thousand fans compared to an average of around 38,000 combined for Hibs and Hearts. The Old Firms global fan base is similarly huge and again rooted n sectarianism. The gate revenues and them taking the majority of the TV money explains their dominance. Nothing else

To summarise :
One of Scotland’s most miserable men makes some cheerless negative comments dripping with bitterness.

The Glasow Rangers and Cetic of the same town are what they are because the media endlessly trumpets their superiority. Your wee man in Kirkcaldy that I had sat near (last time pubs were open) dressed in full RFC kit. I I couldn't resist asking why. "Well"he said, looking a bit bemused. Rovers nivver win anything so it no worth it like" "But it's your local team right" "No" he replied " all my family are Rangers".
The Provan article is just another we dig to remind everyone who rules in football. Their followers lap it up.

Urban (metro) populations are listed as:
Edinburgh: 900,000
Glasgow: 1,600,000
The number of football clubs in the Glasgow urban area is three times higher than in the Edinburgh urban area but, as we all know, most of them support one or other of the Uglies.

Be interesting to know how many thousands of Irish fans go to Celtic and Rangers games. Must be a lot.
