1980 Old Firm Documentary looking at religion in sport.

made for the Credo Programme which aired on Sundays on London Weekend Television.

[@whiteheatherclub]

In the early twentieth century the General Assembly passed several motions of an anti-Irish-Catholic nature. Fortunately, things have moved on since then. Listening to some of these people talking in 1980 seems like listening to people from pre-historic times. It's amazing what a difference 44 years makes.

No problem with Wilson being so strong in his views about various bodies asking lots of questions on Rangers’ player signing policy. But strangely he doesn’t seem to be asking such questions himself about the decades of abuse of boys at the club he’s a Director of. Interesting that.
