Just a guess, but the lack of replays now could be a factor as well. As the 2 teams were often closely matched i'd imagine they had a fair few replays in the past.

My mate's a "Rangers" fan and he reckons neither team has won all the Old Firm games in a given season. Even when Celtic were totally dominant under Rodgers they won 3 and drew 1 of the league games in 2016/17 and 2017/18.

Peter Grant is one of the lists. He was part of McLeish's coaching team

Oh I didn't know he was manager. Can I adopt them as my Danish team, or are they scum? @Villa_in_Denmark

Perfectly OK, non descript team these days.
Apparently they used to be quite good in the 80s and 90s so one of my colleagues tells me but I can't be arsed to check.

They were in the second division 2 seasons ago. Finished 3rd in their first season back up.

Kent Nielsen won the double with Aalborg a few years back

I knew there was a reason I developed a soft spot for Aalborg. Had forgotten what it was.

Sadly/Ironically/Devastatingly, that's word for word what your younger colleague says to his pals when discussing which English teams their acquaintances follow  :(

Sobs quietly.

I’m sure it was only a few years ago I saw him play for England under 16s. I was convinced he was the real deal, skill, pace, composure. I’ve given up on spouting  wretched punditry.
