    Remind these 4th class citizens at every single opportunity that Rangers stopped 10 in a row from the 4th tier
    Before we were sent down we went to their place and got battered but embarrassed their support. Our end was jumping and even though they were 3 0 up they were silent. They even tried to play the drifters at full time and all you could hear was the Rangers support. That set the tone for the next decade.

    Right on the money, this. From an unexpected source.
    Brian Wilson, Celtic director....
    IT may be unfashionable to point out but football can create really joyous occasions. Take last Saturday’s FA Cup Final at Wembley with 21,500 people in the stadium, an intimation that normality is again conceivable.

    There was an emotional quality to the singing of Abide With Me, dedicated to victims of the pandemic. “When other helpers fail and comforts flee; Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me”. Old words with special meaning as people came together after so long, in this way.

    Then there was the game itself, turning on two acts of beauty – the goal from Youri Tielemans which won it and the save from Kasper Schmeichel that thwarted Chelsea. So Leicester, one of our cities hardest hit by the pandemic, had its morale lifted to the heavens.

    The occasion was possible through a balanced approach to risk. Putting 21,500 people into Wembley’s open air must carry a scintilla of risk. But keeping them out and playing this special game behind closed doors would surely have done far more harm than good.

    In Scotland, such thinking is taboo. Even before the latest Glasgow shutdown, there were to be just 600 supporters inside Hampden for the Scottish Cup Final. Now the vast terraces will be empty. To what good effect or elimination of risk, I wonder?

    Last Friday I was in Glasgow Airport, a place of eerie silence these days but suddenly raucous sound announced the arrival of a flight from Belfast which disgorged a platoon of Rangers tops, clearly here for a party. I should make clear the colour of tops is irrelevant to the thrust of my argument.

    If anyone had doubts, this confirmed that the following day’s celebrations were going to be a big event attracting supporters from far and near. Given that entry to Ibrox stadium was precluded, the logic pointed to a big event somewhere else – ie the streets, bridges and squares of Glasgow. Who had decided that this was a good – or at least, less bad – idea?

    It seemed basic common sense – which would have applied equally regardless of which club had something to celebrate – that the thousands congregating in Glasgow should be allowed to do so in their preferred environment, their own stadium. The choice was not between whether or not people would congregate; only where.

    I have still to hear any rational explanation of why it was thought preferable for this to happen in the aforementioned streets, bridges and squares where, as soon transpired, absolutely no rules would apply, than within the confines of a stadium where they all wanted to be and within which some degree of regulation would have been possible.

    Then, while I was waiting for my flight, a friend in the hospitality industry phoned in despair to tell me about the latest disaster – the decision not to move Glasgow down to level 2. At this point, the contrast between what everyone knew was going to happen the following day and the latest extension of Glasgow’s lockdown moved from being merely irrational to grotesque.

    I have never quite understood why it is forbidden to have a glass of wine with a meal within permitted hours. However, the idea this would continue to be banned in Glasgow on public health grounds while the same politicians and experts had put exclusion from a football stadium before all the blatantly obvious risks inherent in the alternative now appeared incomprehensible and irresponsible.

    Yet who does one turn to for an explanation? Who can the beleaguered hospitality industry ask for the right of appeal, based on reason? In what respect is the public health advice in England different to that in Scotland? There are so many questions and after more than a year of this, so few detailed, satisfactory answers.

    The decision makers hide behind the mantra that anyone who challenges their edicts is less interested than themselves in public health or protecting the community. That has never been true and should have been called out long before now. The longer this goes on, the more urgent the need for scrutiny.

    Keeping Glasgow closed is a blunt instrument which fails to recognise vast differences within its boundaries. Concentrating on postcode areas seems more sensible than relying on boundaries which were drawn in the 1990s for entirely different reasons – primarily to keep more prosperous areas out of Glasgow.

    The idea that people are not going to travel from Glasgow for a meal in Bearsden or Kilmacolm does not accord with reality. So the major impact of this blanket ban within the confines of the city is not to limit the spread of the virus but to put another nail in the coffins of good, responsible businesses that are struggling to survive.

    If the politicians believe their own rhetoric, why did they not act last Friday to limit the public health damage from the Rangers party? Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf could have made a recording of his pious strictures to be released around 6pm. and then taken the rest of Saturday off. What did he expect in George Square? Community singing of Abide with Me?

    Ditto the First Minister who should surely have seen the need for containment within her own constituency? The lesson is that while it is easy to ban things it is within your authority to ban, a greater talent is required for seeing a bigger picture – and that is what they made a complete mess of last weekend.

    I have been on this forum for years, don’t post very much, but have read your constant posts about voting snp, without making comment,  your party wants civil unrest on our streets, replicating the Irish way to independence, but don’t worry it shouldn’t affect  what team you support  🤡

    When a political party, disproportionately attack your club compared to the treatment of others, it’s not the fans of said club bringing politics into football. The blame lies with the so called government who are supposed to work for all citizens of their nation, rather than attack and demonise a certain section who have a different view.
    I’d go further, and say they’re actually being very dangerous by causing such hostility in the country. However that is exactly their aim to further their one policy, and the more division they create the better for them.

    Great post on FF. Deserves sharing here...
    I need to address a couple of things as a British Muslim Rangers fan.
    I will continue to fight (Not Physically) against anyone who tries to tarnish our clubs name and the last couple of days the predictable backlash has started.

    I have put up a few similar posts on here and twitter in the past, but unfortunately feel the need to do so again. I've been a member on here since the old days so a lot of posters will know who I am as vie mate a lot of friends on here and twitter.

    I've been a Rangers season ticket holder for over 30 years. Go every week and have followed the club away and abroad. Its pretty obvious what I am, especially having a beard and dark skin lol. I have never had any issues or heard any racist abuse.

    I would be lying if I said we don't have a small minority of idiots who when they have too much to drink make an arse of themselves, but I honestly believe that is a society problem.

    The last couple of days I've saw some videos of Abdul EDL starting a certain song and folk join in. He needs to be ignored and not used as some celebrity, he clearly needs professional help. No normal 40 year old hangs about streets like that and mingles with folk singing stupid songs. People that sing the song need to bear in mind we have other Pakistani fans (more than i thought since joining twitter) and when people sing that song it kinda makes you feel like if you are kinda worthless. Those singing tend to be younger and might think its a laugh. Imagine a Pakistani Rangers fan is walking past with their son and hears that being sung?

    I genuinely don't think when people sing the song they are intentionally being racist, its more stupidity and immaturity than anything.

    Rangers as a football club shouldn't be taking responsibility for the actions of our fans. The club have really upped their game with Everyone and Anyone, banning the likes of Abdul from Ibrox, community work, they couldn't do more to be honest.

    As I said above, I'm not having Rangers taking this flack or my fellow Rangers fans being tarnished due to 1 idiot and a handful of cheerleaders. Other videos you will see a mixture of Rangers fans in George square, Asian, Black, White and many other backgrounds all mixing and having a good time.

    I have plenty of experience of being tarnished with the same brush when any terrorist attacks happens so know how it feels. So i wont sit back quietly when i see it happening to other people. I have grew up in a Rangers family, Rangers friends, School, work colleagues and even going abroad visit supporters club. Only thing that has ever mattered is being a Rangers fan. So the next time Humza or any SNP politician takes a dig remember there are British Muslim Rangers fans on twitter who will stand up to them and call them out for what they are
