There is only one club called "Rangers FC", there is only one club called
"Celtic FC", what's confusing? Bayern Munich is a direct translation of the
German club's name, Glasgow Rangers is tacking on an extra superfluous
"Glasgow". Referring to a football club called Glasgow is totally meaningless.
I wish people would use correct club names, e.g. Crvena Zvezda (the famous
Beograd club) :-).

German satellite TV is obviously totally confused, e.g. I think it is RTL
which has teams such as Airdrie O. and FC Liverpool in the Cup-Winner's Cup
and lists an FA Premier League game involving Queens Park!!

I once played a quiz machine which asked the question "Who was the first 
British club to win the European Cup?". The answer was "Rangers/Celtic".
