The film also attempted to tackle, in something of a ham-fisted fashion, the Catholic/Protestant bigotry that exists in Scottish football and society as a whole, with the underlying reason for the Protestant Gordon's dislike for the Catholic Jackie being that he married his daughter.
Much of the supporting cast is made up of recognisable faces from the Scottish game, and fans can enjoy themselves spending much of the film playing spot the player.
