Ask any Celtic or Rangers player past or present what it is like in Glasgow away from the football and they will tell you the same thing - 'It's just madness'.

The goldfish bowl in the city is like nothing else in world football with second place deemed failure. It is a unique place for the players and managers as whatever team is winning the trophies and top of the league is flying and doing well but just a few miles away the pressure is always building on the rival across the city.

This season it all began with Rangers after their slow start under Michael Beale. The fans made their feelings known after a poor opening to the campaign and a hammering in the Champions League qualifiers - it was out with Beale and in with Philippe Clement.

The Belgian was brought on board and charged with changing the fortunes in Govan. Fast forward to now and he's got his side top of the league, the League Cup in the cabinet and both the Europa League and Scottish Cup to play for.
