Glasgow Rangers/Glasgow Celtic - The Auld Firm (Old Firm for those who dont know their Scottish  :D) Many many fights have been had because of these , which is a bad thing I know, but on match day its the mot exciting thing ever, the citys buzzin' and practically the whole country is watching. One of the greatest sporting rivalries in the world  8) :D

Celtic/Rangers has to be one of the Biggest in terms of football, it's such a spectacle, maybe not so much in the last year or so. Liverpool/Man. U is probably the biggest Rivalry in England even though they aren't from the same city.

Detroit Red Wings/Colorado Avalanche is quite a fierce rivalry even though it only happened the last decade or so. There has been some of the most memorable Hockey matchups between those two.

and finally...

Scotland/England... at any sport

britain yes but the world no!
barca v real madrid is the biggest,that thing goes back to when franco went on a mission to wipe out the catalonian peoples spirit and erradicate the catalan language from the mouths of the very people,because catalonia was the last spanish state left to stand up to franco when he overthrew spain and he took this very personaly this rivalry is the most deep rooted!because of the political history,at one time the only place that the catalan language could be heard was inside camp nou no-one spoke it outside the stadium because it was BANNED!
thats just my opinion.then again i have newcastle v sunderland on my doorstep and they really hate each others guts haha but not like barca v real!!!

There was actually a book written called 'Divided City' that was about a Rangers Fan and a Celtic fan who had to be friends, I cant remember the full story though lol The Old Firm is definetly the biggest sport rivalry in the world!

Um.........What? And aye, the whole of Scotland do really care about Rangers and Celtic on the Old Firm match day, but are you saying that the whole of Scotland only care about Rangers and Cleitc all the time?
