What is The great 1949-1989 derbies : Blue & Green, Rangers v Celtic : a personal look at the Glasgow derby about?

A personal look at the Glasgow derby by Archie MacPherson, principal sports commentator with BBC Scotland. When the teams stepped out onto the pitch for the first Celtic v Rangers derby in 1888, few present could have anticipated how intense, colourful and biting the rivalry between these two great Glasgow clubs would become. In this highly illustrated and painstakingly researched account of the Old Firm derbies the author recalls the greatest and most devastating moments in the history of the encounters - on and off the field. The derby has uplifted the depressed, depressed the uplifted, mortified bookies, influenced the Scottish divorce rate, survived riots, created legends, spawned a million jokes and bored hardly anybody.
