Loyal-Bear 229 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Doesn't bother me really. What does is when Sky refer to QPR as Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalbeagle 3,734 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 It used to really wind me up, but then we signed Gazza and his first press conference he spent the whole time calling us 'Glasgow' and not mentioning Rangers at all, after that I was grateful for anything close.

KeyserSoze 14,545 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 If I was in London and someone asked what team I support I would say Glasgow Rangers. This is to ensure there was no confusion between QPR, Berwick or New York. London has many geezers and pearly kings and queens- fact Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbt1548 1,839 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I believe the Glasgow may have been started to be added in the earlier years of European competitions, when, unlike today where there is massive TV coverage, people from different countries were learning the locations of teams in the competitions. A number of teams are called the name of their town or city, so that was simple enough, but a number like ourselves don't have the city in their title so the Glasgow would have been added, as in 'Rangers from Glasgow', which I suppose evolved for the Europeans to Glasgow Rangers to identify our location. We used to add on the locations of teams ourselves, I have a number of programmes for home games from the '60's and underneath the team name it mentions their location.

Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 it's because there are so many teams who want to bear the name Rangers; Berwick, Queens Park etc.Sky Sports to be fair should just introduce us as "the worlds most successful football club, Rangers" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlands plater 16,975 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I know it's where we are from and that will never change, but I prefer not to include the Yes-voting "love us, love us" embarrassment modern Glasgow has become as part of outr club's name.

allgers 735 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 The Gers, The Teddy bears, The Famous Glasgow Rangers. Whatever they call us, I want respect for my Club, our history and achievements.I like the correct name, but I won't let a derivative wind me up. The Rangers does have a bit of a ring to it, none of these also ran The Rangers, the one and only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
