Scottish terminology - The Old Firm is the collective name for the Glasgow association football clubs Celtic and Rangers. The origin of the term is unclear but may derive from the commercial benefits of the two clubs' rivalry.[2] The rivalry between the two clubs deeply embeds Scottish culture and has largely contributed to the political, social and religious division in Scotland. As a result, the fixture is widely considered one of the biggest derbies in world football. The term has also be used regarding England v Scotland I believe as the oldest international match played. Auld firm is Celtic and Rangers not England v Scotland which is Auld Enemy.

No harm in him being an option off the bench at this stage, particularly with Monkhouse still suspended and Martin's form being so wobbly. Monkhouse has now served is 3 match suspension since his sending off so on the wings we have him, Gosling & LDV plus Martin already.
