Disagree with this. I support Scotland and a very high % of my Rangers supporting mates support Scotland. Would say it's far higher than 50% for Scottish Rangers fans. The Louder minority always seems more vast though. Saying that, the percentage has definitely lowered from 2008-now.

But Scotland fans or SSC?

Just you stick to writing for the daily rebel mate 

 

Em...ok.

I've no idea if this is supposed to be some sort of cutting putdown based on the fact that I make a living from getting paid to watch Rangers, write about Rangers and talk about Rangers.

Also, probably worth mentioning I've not written for the Record in months.

Other than though mate, top marks for effort. 😂

As with many things, my experience is that RM doesn't reflect the attitude of the wider fanbase.

Plenty of our fans also support Scotland. Strange that so many find that hard to believe.

I want Scotland to do well,. but the elephant in the room is the politics which follow Scotland's Tartan Army and SNP brigade

then the thoughts on Rangers as a club.

 

that last Scotland 2-2 England match I didn't know what side I was in at times

 

weird experience

Do we get a platinum rating for this?

I try my best to ignore the politics. But the last 2 years I've just became less and less concerned.

Most fans aren't in supporters clubs so fairly meaningless

Like many Bears I used to be quite passionate about Scotland but I have had no interest in them for the last 10 years or so.

Likewise really, was 5 when they last made a major tournament, the couple of years we had first Smith then Mcleish were the most I have supported the national team, was gutted when we didn't qualify in 2008.

Now I couldn't really care what happens to them.

[Hoss 267]

Good to see this being noted.  Anyone that I met on Saturday at the game or pre match in The Shed were all Bears!

As are fans of every club in the country.

Depends what we’re talking about. 

If it’s what club you support, then yes. If it’s what club you hate, then it’s a different story. United by their obsession. 

[Nameless Ghoul 6,053]

Personally find myself not minding international football football as much anymore but I couldn't give a fuck about scotlands team. 

Love scotland, hate the sfa.

Yeah well I don’t support Scotland and virtually every single one of my Rangers supporting friends are the same. Anecdotes mean nothing.

If a significant minority of Bears can support the SNP then hardly surprising some support the Scottish national side in spite of the SFA being rank rotten from top to bottom.

Personally, over time, I'd like to see us reclaim both our country and the national team from the republican rheptiles.

Exactly. Lets assume for a moment that most celtic fans will lean towards the republic of ireland. That then leaves our fans along with the rest of scottish teams. We have by a country mile the most fans of the remainder of the teams. As Staunch says, if even a small number follow the national team it could easily be more than other sides. Equally we probably have the highest number of fans that don't care.

Same for me mate. One or 2 are keener than the rest but not one of them goes to the games now

Not in my experience. International football is playing 2nd fiddle to club football all over. Doesn't help the team is full of bead rattlers and cant qualify for any tournaments either.

[Wearethepeople72 1,845]

I don’t really know any Rangers fans who actively support the national team as in go to all the games and travel abroad to watch them etc.

Most of our support in my experience either don’t care, dislike them and like to see them get beat, or at best have a casual interest where they watch them on TV and like to see them winning, but aren’t too disheartened if they don’t.

Any so called bear that supports the Scottish team nowadays . Bizarre

Love your Country . Stay away from this shower of bheast lovers

[eejay the dj 31,964]

Every Scotland game . I want the team to get embarrassed . I used to attend Scotland games way back

You could not pay me to go and watch this shower of scum . And you better believe it . From the top . They detest our club

From about 4 year old I supported Holland over everyone at national level, I remember being hounded for it during the playoff about 15 year ago when I celebrated Scotland getting pumped.

Started being more bothered about Scotland as I got older then a few years ago realised the child version of me actually chose correctly and I had been an idiot moving away from that. 

I wish every disappointment possible on Steve Clarke, his squad full of rancid players and a fan base who’ll happily boo their own player because he plays for my team or hound out a manager before he’s started because he managed my team over a decade ago.

[geronimoo 1,474]

Does these Rangers fans boo when any player from Rangers gets a game.
