Rangers and Celtic fans united in anger going into derby after European disasters

The article discusses the unusual situation surrounding the upcoming Old Firm derby between Rangers and Celtic, where both sets of supporters are united in their anger and dissatisfaction with the way their respective clubs are being run. The article highlights that never before in the history of this long-standing rivalry has the backdrop been as bizarre, as typically the yin-and-yang nature of football in Glasgow means supporters of one club are happy when the other is struggling. However, in the current context, both sets of fans are justifiably unhappy with the management and performances of their teams, particularly after their recent embarrassing European defeats. The article suggests that the managers, Russell Martin and Brendan Rodgers, do not feel compatible with their clubs, and that victory in the derby would only provide a temporary respite from the dissenting voices. The author acknowledges that the supporters of both clubs can sometimes be unrealistic in their analysis and demands, but in the current situation, their outrage and disquiet are quite understandable.
