    With Celtic and Rangers both more than likely to finish in the top half as always, they will play each other seven times this one season. eek I've checked, and this has never happened before in the match's history.

    I was wondering, have any two teams ever played more competitive games against each other in one season?

    Theoretically, if Rangers won the League and Celtic won the cup of the previous year or vice versa, they'd play each other at the start of the season ( equivalent to the community shield.... you do have a community shield right? eek) in addition to the 7 other games. So that'd be 8. Oh, and didn't you not have to replay once in the other tournament? If you had to, theoretically that'd be 9 possible times in a season.

    No. The Scottish Cup is the only one where replays happen. The League Cup is just 1 leg and Scotland doesnt have a Community Shield type game. They could play more if they met in Europe but Celtic cant stay in Europe for more than 5 minutes so that will never happen Laughing

    I don't quite remember, but I think Brøndby and FCK met 8 times during one season. 3 times in Royal League (group stage and final), 3 times in the league and cup semi-finals.

    Liverpool played Arsenal 7 times in 1979,80 season, they played twice in the League that season and met 4 times in the FA cup semi final which went to 3 Replay's and also met in the Charity shield at the start of the season.

    Chelsea have a knack for this, they played Tottenham 5 times in 2001/2, and played Liverpool 5 times 4 seasons in a row between 2004/5 and 2007/08. Can't think of any more than that in English football in recent years.

    Roma will play Inter 5 times this season.
    Supercoppa
    2x Serie A
    2x Coppa Italia

    Perhaps more if there is a chance of them meeting in CL but I doubt that.
