Former Celtic captain and Everton defender Alan Stubbs experienced 24 Old Firm encounters as a player. He talks exclusively to The Coaches' Voice about his memories of the very first, and reflects on how fixtures against Rangers came to be those he most relished. He also discusses how the intense nature of the Old Firm rivalry had a negative influence on some players, and how that can be managed by coaches in the build-up to a big game.
