Does she even like footy? First-Hand Experience: I've seen St. Mirren play live once, but only away from their home stadium. They were at Celtic Park, and even though they got completely destroyed, they carried on fighting until the final whistle and I always respected them for that. Seeing a team play live in person always gives you a better perspective on who they are and this is a team that the fans can be proud of, that has always punched above their tiny weight for the famous and storied suburb (sorry, city) of Paisley. Paisley is one of the great underrated cities of the UK because it's actually sort of part of Glasgow, but it's really a city unto itself (think Brooklyn or Queens in NYC), and they have their own footy team as well, who are actually doing well at the moment up in the Premier League. St. Mirren can only attract 8k to their nice new stadium but the fans are passionate and loyal and will always keep coming. They were founded in 1877 and are the last Scottish team I'm reviewing. They play in tiny black and white stripes, whereas their away kit is a more appealing yellow. They have never won the Scottish League, but they did manage to win the Scottish Cup in 1926, 1959, and as recently as 1987 which is a great history for such a small suburban club. They also won the League Cup in 2013, their only victory in it, which really sent the fans into reverie.

First-Hand Experience: I've seen Morton play twice live at home (both times I enjoyed it, and the fans were lovely, but the stadium was lacking something), and then twice away from home (where they really put up a good fight and impressed me). I love the way the supporters of this team are so open to outsiders coming in, which is not always the case in Glasgow proper. This team is known to most as "Morton" although they added the name of their town not too long ago and why not. I understand the stewards treat away fans terrible and I agree with Alastair, but I was here as a home fan and I enjoyed it. Formed in 1874, they play to 12k people, they drink Irn Bru, they play in the same colours as QPR (eww), and they once beat Rangers 1-0 in the Scottish Cup Final of 1922, which is a local rival if you think about it. They were cup runners up in 48 and 64, and league runners up in 1917. So all in all they're a good old club and there's morton meets the eye.

Similarly, if you are a SeaLion and you do cool things to impress onlookers, then you do SealTricks. But seriously, Celtic is one of the great teams of the whole world, let alone the UK. The biggest club in Scotland on every level, playing in a palace of a 60k stadium, which includes a Graveyard so hardcore fans can be buried here! That's how much Celtic means. First-Hand Experience: this is my fave club in Scotland, and one of my 10 fave clubs in the world. I've seen them live at this stadium many times, I've also seen them away from home at Anfield (Liverpool), other Scottish clubs, and even in Cleveland Browns Stadium facing Boca Juniors. I can't really count the number of times I've watched them play but it's been around a dozen or more. Most recently was 2014. They're a wonderful club with wonderful fans. Being inside Celtic Park is one of the best stadium experiences for any fan anywhere. Plus they are linked to my fave team Liverpool in many ways and to my mother's homeland of Ireland. So they mean a lot to me. Watching them is a religious experience - and yes that is an in-joke. Since religion is so heavily linked to this club and Rangers. Celtic (pronounced Seyll-takk in the local accent, and never Kel-tic, ever) are bitter rivals of Rangers, and the religious element means the hatred runs deep. The Irish were always the outcasts and underdogs but when it comes to football they are the big boy. Rangers has won more Scottish League titles, but Celtic is bigger in every other way. They play in famous green and white hoops. The stadium is in the rough East End of town. I had a gun pointed at me outside their stadium. Since their first game in 1888, they have never been relegated, which is very impressive, especially now that Rangers were demoted and so Celtic are the only team not to be relegated. They have won the Scottish League 46 times and are the current champs. They're within 10 of Rangers' record. They've won the Scottish Cup 36 times and the League Cup 15 times. In 1967 they amazingly became the first British team to win the European Cup, with Manchester United, Liverpool (4 times in a few years) and Nottingham Forest following suit within a decade or so. They were runners up in the 1970 European Cup and in the 2003 UEFA Cup, meaning they have reached 3 major European finals, winning one. In 67 they had beaten Inter Milan in the final, whereas in 70 they lost to Feyenoord at the San Siro. Their greatest managers include Martin O'Neill who got them to the UEFA Cup Final, and Neil Lennon who got Celtic to a few Champions League knockout phases. Celtic's club magazine is the oldest in the football world, from 1965. There are supposedly 9 million Celtic fans around the world including 1 million in the US and Canada. Like Liverpool, they sing "You'll Never Walk Alone" before every game, and they never will.

It's shocking that it has taken me to my 47th review to do this one, but here it finally is. Over…read morethe past decade or two I have been to Celtic Park literally hundreds of times, so you now know up front that clearly I am a fan. Having been to football grounds as famous as Anfield, Old Trafford, the Nou Camp, etc, I can certainly state that Celtic Park is on a par with any of these places. What sets it apart is the 5 star atmosphere created by the supporters who are known for producing the noise to help push the team over the line during important matches. Get yourself along to a match to sample the atmosphere, a champions league match is particularly recommended if you can get a ticket. Alternatively you can do the museum tour. I have done it a few times now with friends who have come to visit Glasgow. You get to hear about the famous history of Celtic and see parts of the stadium you normally would not have access to.

I was thinking to myself NO WAY but I still let him put 20 different things on me before I was like, "Patrick... This'll do." He mis-heard me and thought I was asking him to start a footy team named "Partick Thistle" and the rest is history. First-Hand Experience: I've seen Partick play at home twice, and away from home once. Watching a team in person, you really get a feeling for what sort of club it is. This is a people's club with a rabid fan base and is a hidden gem in Glasgow. It's a team I will always have an affinity with because of how much fun I had at their home ground. I always look out for their scores and cheer them on. This is a great club in Glasgow with a stadium that needs a bit of work. They play in the Maryhill part of Glasgow which is actually part of the suburb of Partick, and are very well supported. However their ground only holds 10k people. They were founded back in 1876. They play in lovely red and yellow stripes. Mo Johnston, Alan Rough and Alan Hansen all played for this club. Their songs include "Rellow Army", "Mary fae Maryhill", "Over Land and Sea", "Forever and Ever", "We've Followed the Thistle for Many a Day", "Oh Maryhill is wonderful", "Do Do Do Conrad Balatoni" and "Gerry Britton is the King of Spain". Craig Ferguson and Robert Carlyle are famously Partick supporters. Poor guys. Niall Ferguson said "they were the atheists' team. You couldn't believe in God and support Partick Thistle." This is a reference to how religious the followings of Celtic (catholic) and Rangers (protestant) are. This is Glasgow's third team if you will, and it's nice that they've been in the Prem during Rangers' absence. They won the Scottish Cup in 1921 and were runners up in 1930. They won the League Cup in 1972 and were runners up 3 times. They've never won the Scottish Prem but have finished 3rd a couple of times.

Rangers are the second biggest club in Scotland, and one of the 10 biggest clubs in the UK. Only Celtic are bigger. First-Hand Experience: I've seen them play live on several occasions, including in Liverpool, and away from home in Scotland, and at Ibrox - their home - twice. The first time was a negative experience, but the second time was a very positive one, when they hosted Liverpool in a friendly during Kenny Dalglish's most recent spell as manager - in 2011. That was a really great time, and is the only reason I'll give this legendary club 4 stars. Before that, I had some issues with the sectarian anti-Irish chanting that I heard at the other Ibrox game, but I'm over it and we can move on. I'm not sure what this club would have to do to earn a 5th star from me, since they are a bitter rival of the Scots team I love - Celtic. Yes, there is a huge religious rivalry with Celtic, who are Catholics, whereas Rangers are Protestants. I am deducting one star from Rangers for this, because it has led to many deaths and too much animosity. I have found that Rangers fans tend to be more militant about this, they call it sectarianism, even though Celtic fans can be just as violent and insane about it. The Rangers fans I've met have sometimes been racist and hostile towards Irish people and outsiders in general, and if there were a "Fascist" club of Scotland, Rangers would be it, along with the English counterparts, Aston Villa and Chelsea. As well as West Ham, Leeds, Sunderland, others. Other than that, it's a fantastic club. Rangers have won 54 Scottish leagues (a world record), 33 Scottish Cups (a record), 27 League Cups (a record), and won the treble of all three in the same season 7 times (a world record). Rangers was the first British club to reach a UEFA tournament final and won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1972 after being runner-up twice in 1961 and 1967. They were also runners up in 2008 in the UEFA Cup. They were in the top division from 1872 until being liquidated in 2011, and demoted to the bottom tier. Now they're on their way back up, facing play offs to try and get into the Prem. They play in blue in front of 51k people. They did not have a catholic play for them until Mo Johnston in 1989, and they once had 143,000 watch a game in 1948 at Ibrox. In 1987, 100,000 saw them face Kiev. Ally McCoist is their greatest ever player. Well I have to go now. Don't be a Ranger.
