This scottish derby is one of the most intense and classic in the modern Football world.
But it is not the only city derby that literally can & for sure will divide the city for the day it is on.
Yesterday in evening in Hamburg, Germany there was another derby, and this between Hamburger Sports Verein and the the much smaller club from Hamburgs "Reeperbahn" district; ST. Pauli.
HSV is here the more success full club, and the only club in Germany which has never been relegated, or played in a lower division or league, than the "Bundes Liga".
ST. Pauli though has. They have been up and down like they were clerks in an old fashioned lift some where in the financial district, but although the club is riding up and down through 3 divisions, their fans has never lost their devotion to "their" club.
If you do not know the result from yesterday, I can tell you that the smaller of the two won it, and that for the first time since 1977.
Viva ST.Pauli.
If you go down and look in my list of links I've lined up further down on the right, you will also find a link to ST. Pauli.
In Buenos Aires, Argentina, you can find another of the worlds famous and classic "Derbies".
"Boca Juniors" against "River Plate".
Look at this fine little documentary from the BBC, and you will know a bit more.
