in march 2011, an angry exchange took place on the touchline at celtic park between celtic manager neil lennon and rangers assistant coach ally mccoist, requiring police officers to separate them, at the end of a match in which three players had also been dismissed; again captured on live television footage, the incident resulted in both men being banned from the dugout for disconduct. a 'crisis meeting' was convened involving the clubs, the scottish government and strathclyde police some days later regarding the trend of violence among supporters away from the pitch increasing on old firm mathdays and concerns that incidents during the matches was a factor. the incident occurred during the tense environment of a season where seven old firm matches took place (including a league cup final and a fight for the title eventually won by rangers by one point).
old firm
the club's most distinct rivalry is with glasgow neighbours celtic f.c.; the two clubs are collectively known as the old firm. rangers' traditional support is largely drawn from the protestant unionist community, whilst celtic's traditional support is largely drawn from the catholic community. the first old firm match was won by celtic and there have been over four hundred matches played to date. the old firm rivalry has fuelled many assaults, sometimes leading to deaths, on old firm derby days; an activist group that monitors sectarian activity in glasgow has reported that on old firm weekends, admissions to hospital emergency rooms have increased over normal levels and journalist franklin foer noted that in the period from 1996 to 2003, eight deaths in glasgow were directly linked to old firm matches, as well as hundreds of assaults.
