More about the book

Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,7, Heilbronn University, language: English, abstract: This paper is about the city of Glasgow in Scotland. More precisely, the two football teams based there, the "Rangers Football Club" and the "Celtic Football Club". This raises the question of how the rift within the city came to be and the extent to which the two teams are involved. To find this out, we worked with different print and digital sources. Research has shown that the conflict which is blamed for the divide within Glasgow is deeply rooted in the history of the city. In addition to religion, politics and the social aspect are also important. This conflict is made visible by the two teams, as they hold different opinions in every aspect of the conflict potential. The work shows how Glasgow is divided by its history.
