Belfast fans feature in Russian YouTube channel's Old Firm film

A Russian YouTube channel has produced a three-part documentary on Glasgow's Old Firm featuring an episode filmed in Belfast.

4D - Clear Football made the film about the famous rivalry between Rangers and Celtic as part of its 'Planet Football' series.

Recorded in locations including Glasgow and Belfast, it includes interviews with fans of both clubs and also delves into the rich histories of the two cities.

Episode 2 - which has been viewed over 90,000 times on YouTube - dips into the political and football landscape of Northern Ireland, and how Rangers and Celtic attract so many fans from Belfast.

Belfast Rangers fan media writer Graeme Hanna took part in all three episodes of the documentary.

He said: "It was great to take part and if you are in to football, fan culture and politics, this will be right up your street.

"The documentary is divided into three episodes, with the second dedicated to the Belfast divide and support for the clubs on this side of the water.

"It was filmed over a few days at the end of 2019 and start of 2020, and it gets under the skin of what the rivalry and the clubs mean to the supporters."
