They don't agree on much but ask any Celtic and Rangers fan and they'll tell you there's no derby quite like theirs.

Two teams in the same city with a storied and at times sinister rivalry that stretches back more than a century.

The fact they're the two most successful sides in Scottish football history only fuels the fire further.

Glasgow comes to a near standstill when these two collide and there's many other cities on the planet that can lay claim to a fixture with such cultural significance.

Which is why it's always a surprise when it's overlooked for other derbies that just can't possibly claim to live up.

A list compiled by radio station talkSPORT can only find it a position in 12th when compiling the top 20 derbies in world football.

Fair enough there are some belters in the top 10 - Boca Juniors vs River Plate topping the list is hardly a surprise.

But Everton vs Liverpool? Arsenal vs Tottenham? Even Manchester City vs Manchester United has only been considered a top derby in the past decade or so since the blue half of the city won the lottery.

The reasons for leaving the derby out of the top 10 were that Rangers haven't provided proper competition for the Hoops in years.

Fair point, but when have Everton and Liverpool last been on a level footing? Also, they have failed to acknowledge Rangers beat Celtic in their last meeting.

The list claims to rank the derbies on passion and ferocity, not on star quality which the one thing you could never accuse Rangers and Celtic fans of lacking.

Here's the full list

20. Partizan Belgrade vs Red Star Belgrade
