Parkhead and Ibrox are iconic places
The homes of Rangers and Celtic are like places of pilgrimage for the club’s respective supporters, and the differences between those supporters are both numerous and well-publicised.
One set of fans believes in the concept of transubstantiation, while the other set doesn’t.
This difference of opinion between the supporters has led to a number of disagreements, both online and in person, and there is simply a strong sense of disdain between the two.
One person trying to bridge the gap between Rangers and Celtic fans is The Pink Bear, a graffiti artists known as ‘Glasgow’s answer to Banksy’, who unveiled some new pieces outside of Ibrox and Parkhead recently.
The graffiti, which depicts Pope Francis and Queen Elizabeth playing football together, is described as a “comment on the division and potential unity within Scottish football and within Scotland as a whole”.
It also shows the Pope wearing a Rangers scarf and the Queen in a Celtic one, as they attempt to keep the ball up.
The message is a nice one and the graffiti is spot on. So it’s thumbs up from us.
