barrymorrison1 1,033 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I’m 45, since I can remember, 5 years old. my grandfather got me into Rangers, he says they were the club of our country. he flew in Wellington bombers in the Second World War, and was a big I love being Scottish, but I’m British first. his mentality was, since he was born in 1919, Rangers were a British club, he supported them as a child, he passed away in 1997 still supporting them, he couldn’t understand anybody that supported celtic that hated the forces. some of his best mates in the RAF were celtic fans, and during the years after the war he got very pissed off when their fans started hating the union, as he was convinced that the boys that he flew with during the war that supported celtic deserved better respect. to this day my stepson, who is 24 now, realises why he supports this club since I got together with his mother when he 6 years old, what it stands for to thousands like my grandfather.

Popular Post Neil1418 60 Posted June 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2018 Around 68 years my dad took me to Ibrox when I was 5 that would be 1950. I was born a mile from Ibrox therefore as the years progressed I was never away from the place, every week reserve games one week then the “big” team the next week, have never stopped supporting them and never will. gmcf, Bears r us, SteveEarle and 7 others 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince George 600 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 52 years, first game was at Hampden in the Scottish cup replay when Kia scored the winning goal. Hooked ever since.

Rmc54 469 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 My first game would've been 1968/69 season, lift over the turnstiles , and lucky to catch Colin Stein as he had just signed Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 1 hour ago, K.A.I said: I was a kid but was probably slightly later than most. I never had a Dad that took me to Ibrox or Rangers games in all honesty so didn't have that pleasure. He had a friend though who was a supervisor for a construction company who had a box and got a couple of away tickets for every game and he took me everyweek from the 1992-1993 season onwards ... it was a quick turnaround from me wanting to get to actually going ... I was about 9 I think and watching the Battle Of Britain vs Leeds in 1992 on TV and was hooked ... pretty soon after that I was getting to games. My Dad was more of a Dumbarton fan than Rangers ... he used to have a passing interest in Rangers and when we spoke and were close we went through a phase of going to some cracking games together ... a few memorable wins at Tynecastle and Easter Road ... and some European away's too ... but he was never a proper supporter, used to enjoy himself, the atmosphere and the football and preferred Rangers over celtic but it kinda started and stopped there. It was a simple question mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on you mate, Supporting Rangers is something that never leaves you, the worst kind of cunts are turncoats, I met a few in my time, how they can jump the fucking dyke and support the filth is simply beyond my understanding SteveEarle 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
