The English disease as Jim White calls it...

Because it has never kicked off around an Auld firm game at all

 

[Lupo]

Far be it from Jim to pass up an opportunity to slag off England

Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli has been banned for seven months by the Italian football federation for breaching betting rules.
Fagioli was given a 12-month ban, with five months suspended, and fined 12,500 euros (£10,850).
The 22-year-old will also have to have therapy for his gambling problem.

And given a new contract to June 2028 on improved money as he was out of contract in 3 (THREE) years

No mention of a drum.
