Review
(by TheHumanTorpedo)
In this predecessor to Bhoys, Bears, and Bigotry (above) author Bill Murray presents an in-depth look at the Old Firm rivalry.
While this is an interesting book, which has obviously been well researched, Murray predictably sits on the fence by reaching a ‘…both sides are as bad as each other’ conclusion despite the evidence strongly suggesting otherwise.
A worthwhile read but while Murray deserves credit for taking on such a thorny subject his gutless conclusion certainly raises questions about his analysis.
There are actually some errors in the book and a unwillingess to stick his neck out on certain subjects on Rangers.
