I WONDER what Martin Hannan’s opinion is about the 10 years of Old Firm titles won using mis-registered players (We should celebrate Old Firm – the world’s greatest derby, September 6)?

Should they be cancelled or does the writer agree with the SFA’s actions in creating a special deal for old Rangers that no club got before or since for much lesser breaking of the same regulation?

But of course he doesn’t think the opinion of anyone posting on The National’s website matters, after all we are just “pusillanimous pipsqueaks exuding their impotence on a smartphone”.

On the thrust of the main article, no real evidence is given: I don’t see any comparison with other great derbies of the football world or reasons given why the “Old Firm” is better than them.

In fact haven’t the two teams decided to ban all but a small minority of opposition fans from each other’s grounds, making it surely a lesser atmosphere?
