The Old Firm rivalry has long been Scottish football's defining narrative, and the current mood around both Glasgow giants could hardly feel more different. Rangers appear to be settling into a coherent project with a clear tactical identity and steady off-field leadership, giving supporters and observers a sense that the club knows exactly where it is heading.
