It was used a bit in the 1980s, not sure if by those actual clubs/supporters. I don't remember hearing it in recent years. 

 

That's what was mentioned in the article I posted mate. First I've heard it called that..

I've yet to meet a fan of Aberdeen or Dundee united who wanted the name new firm. 

Maybe just the tv, papers, talking it up? Like I said, first I've heard of it, then again, I do love in Canada. Lol

Not fishing, so calm down.

I cant believe that theres anyone who watches Scottish football that doesn't know that term, apart from bairns.

There’s a bone of contention now since 2012 though as to whether the old old firm is now the new firm and that the old new firm is now the old firm 

Officially and legally though the old new firm can’t be the new old firm because Celtic went halfers into a trademark copyright deal with Rangers because Celtic claim that they aren’t half of anything

The UK Government Intellectual Property office says otherwise at the behest of The Rangers Football Club Limited and erm… Celtic FC Limited

Both clubs joined forces to renew trademark UK00002264673 as recently as 2021

Not half of anything but half of something

I can't see Hibs being up for it at all🤣. Beating Celtic hands their most bitter rivals an advantage.

You’re struggling to separate the players from the fans 

The players will absolutely be up for it. They are professional athletes who have contracts

All contracts come to an end and any notion that they have chucked their professionalism just to appease a section of the support will put future employers in doubt about whether to offer them a contract in future 

Theres no way any of them will put their already extremely short careers in jeopardy about a rivalry that nobody outside of Hibs and Hearts fans could give a monkeys about

The players don’t get it from a fans point of view, and in the cold light of day rightly so
