Much has been said in recent years about the Glasgow Old Firm Giants trying to leave the Scottish league and joining a bigger more lucrative league elsewhere with the English Premiership being mooted as their preferred option.
But if rumors today hold any water, they will be joining the MLS this summer!
No more Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers. From now on they may be known as Georgia Celtic and Galveston Rangers, but don’t worry, that’s not really on the cards, YET. Due to a huge following in the States, both Glasgow teams are tentatively in talks to hold a match together outside of Scotland for the 1st time in their history.
Yes they have played friendlies in the US before but they have NEVER played each other abroad before with Boston’s Gillette Stadium being touted as the place to be this summer.
For those of you unsure of who and what the Old Firm are about, get yourself along there to see the oldest football rivalry clash in the unfriendliest friendly you will ever see. Neither team’s fan base (nor their history) will accept this as an exhibition match and fireworks are always on show when these 2 meet. I only wish I could be there to see it!
It appears that this will be the finale to a series of matches being planned by both teams in Canada & USA with Manchester United another match that may be on the cards for Celtic.
Watch this space for more details…
