Blue For You

This cunt just won the internet for the day 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Neil McCann has lifted the lid on the sectarian abuse he was subjected to on the day Dundee and celtic paid tribute to his late father.
His dad Eddie passed away at the end of 2017 and both teams held a minute's applause for Eddie McCann before the Hoops' 2-0 win in the Boxing Day fixture.
But McCann has revealed he was STILL subjected to vile taunts from celtic supporters at Dens Park during the contest and has suffered since the day he joined Rangers.
Sectarian abuse is a hot topic in Scottish football with Kilmarnock boss Steve Clarke and striker Kris Boyd victims of disgusting chants over the past eight days.
Clarke and Boyd put on a united front at a press conference last week and Rangers boss Steven Gerrard and chairman Dave King strongly spoke out against the perpetrators and believe there is no place in Scottish football for such behaviour.
The former Scotland international, who is a Catholic, believes he has always been a target for abuse because of his religion and the team he played for.
McCann, who won nine trophies during his time at Ibrox, admits now is the time for things to change once and for all.
The former Dens Park boss told BBC Sportsound: "Being Catholic and signing for Rangers was a big story.
"It wasn't just myself but my family were subjected to lots of abuse. It is unacceptable, it's totally unacceptable.
"I grew to ignore it and to be honest it's water off a duck's back, it doesn't bother me.
"But now we are in a situation in life where people are not ignoring it anymore. That goes for sexual orientation, gender and race.
"People are now saying 'enough is enough'.
"Now I've been subjected to all sorts and some of the shouts which have come off the back of it are pretty despicable and shouldn't happen - they have no place in the game of football and no place in the general public.
"There's not much you can do about it, it's difficult to turn when you're out with family - that's when it becomes beyond personal.
"That's when it hurts when you're with a member of your family, especially your children.
"Even when we held a minute's applause when my father passed away, we were playing celtic on BT Sport.
"I was subjected to the exact same song that Steve Clarke got when celtic scored their first goal.
"That happened then and nothing was said about it."
McCann admits despicable chants and taunts have followed him throughout his career but says the abuse hasn't been limited to just celtic supporters.
He added: "It's not just one club here, it's not just two clubs - it happens at other clubs as well.
I've been called 'the H**' and an 'orange b******' and all the rest of it and I'm Catholic.
"When I played football I had no interest whatsoever in the religious set-up or anybody's ideas or gripes.
"I went to play football and chose to play for Glasgow Rangers and it was a huge honour to play for such a prestigious club.
"I have everything - I remember saying at the time I wasn't a Rangers fan when I signed but from that onwards I would become one because when someone is paying you to play for them then you give everything for that team.
"I would like to think the abuse that I take is purely for that fact that I have gone to Rangers, and I'm talking about celtic fans directly, because I'm a Catholic and played for Rangers and I have some right that I shouldn't sign for that club and further my career.

Happy Birthday gaffer.

Hats off to whoever made this. Fantastic. 

Enjoy
 
 
 

He has Rangers under his skin, good to see him bringing up his son the right way

It was a pleasure yesterday to take three Danish representatives from Hummel around on our Founders Trail and share our wonderful and unique story.
They said that they thoroughly enjoyed their day, were blown away with the sheer scale of Rangers and were complimentary about the Founders Project.

For those not at the game, enjoy. 
 
Gerrard - "Ill be making subs after 5 minutes" - I wish after that first half.

Great to hear the wee man speak like this. Can only bode well for us trying to get him in the summer, if that's what he wants!

Congratulations!
 

Welcome big chap!
 
 

Most of us knew it would happen but, personally, I thought it would take our first trophy to push them over the edge. But no, a single goal victory in a single match has done the trick.
The seeds were sewn in the summer when complacency and arrogance led them to think that a  squad actually weaker than the previous season (Dembele, Roberts out, Morgan in) would still be too strong for everyone else. Some of their support began to fidget but Big Peter and St Brenda had never failed them, right?
Defeats to Killie and Hibs increased the jitters as our European heroics indicated a steel and determination absent for so long. The fidgeting got worse as they announced a bonus of 2.3m for Big Peter yet couldn’t shake off Rangers or Killie in the league they had come to see as their own.
Their friends in the media stayed loyal, hounding Morelos at every turn and bigging up journeymen like Christie and Edouard as if they were world beaters. And of course, the loyal suppression of THAT story continued for the most part as the verdicts were reported but our courageous journalists steadfastly refused to join the dots.
Then it happened. St Brenda’s first defeat at the thirteenth hurdle. Their fourth defeat of the season matching the total of the previous two seasons combined. And the manner of the defeat was even more telling than the scoreline. Totally dominated and clueless.
They are creatures of habit and, true to form, they turned on the officials and the SFA (an organisation more loyal, valuable and reliable to them than a bloody guide dog to a blind man) in a major deflection operation. The rules which state that, if the referee saw an incident and chose not to act, then no further sanctions can be applied, surely couldn’t apply here.
“‘Mon tae fuck” they howled.
The house of cards begins to shudder.
Then Rangers ramp up the pressure by strengthening further with Defoe, Davis, Jones and Kamara on their way. Shit, this is serious.
And so the head of the supporters group (Mr “not enough Protestants on the Titanic“ himself) writes to the erstwhile allies at Hampden, effectively calling them cheats for following the rules. And, in what is clearly an orchestrated manoeuvre, the club follow it up with a demand for transparency. The club which has made an art form of secrecy and cover up now pushing for “transparency”. Utterly priceless.
Their world is collapsing in on them and they are in blind panic.
And of course, there hangs over them, THAT story. It hasn’t gone away and they may yet regret the stupidity of turning on the SFA who will hold the fate of that poisonous club in their hands.
It is the perfect storm and it has been a long time coming. Their lack of class and dignity is exposed for all to see and it is not pretty. The house of cards is hanging by a thread and an act of defiance or bravery by either the SFA or a serious journalist (Mark Daly?) will surely bring the whole rancid slum crashing to the ground.
I am thoroughly enjoying the show so far and would encourage all Bears to pull up a chair with, dare I suggest, a bowl of jelly and ice cream?

 

Happy New Year.

ALFREDO MORELOS starred in a tribute match in his honour back home in Colombia alongside a team full of players wearing Rangers strips.
Just a day after starring in Gers' Old Firm victory the striker was the star attraction in his hometown of Cerete as local club Aquel Atletico Cordoba played a 'friends of Morelos' select.
The match was the centre-piece of a day of celebrations in honour of the Ibrox hero.
A tournament involving regional teams kicked off the day before Morelos was honoured by the mayor with a medal to salute the town's "illustrious son".
The 22-year-old was also pictured with his proud parents Martha and Alfredo snr.
Then a little over 24 hours after he came off the pitch at Ibrox celebrating a crucial Premiership victory over celtic Morelos was back on a football pitch.
He lined up with a team of friends all wearing the light blue of Rangers with the keepers sporting the orange goalie top.
Cordoba hold an annual reunion match for their former players, and pay tribute to footballers from the area who have gone on to play professionally.
Morelos has played in one of these games previously, having taken part in the 2016 reunion match while still a HJK Helsinki player.
The South American is now on a winter break and won't return to action with Gers until the Scottish Cup clash with Cowdenbeath on Friday January 18.
 
 
Not included the bit that Sutton says he should have had two reds or any the other shit at the bottom of the article.
Good wee read and hope to fuck he stays till the summer. We've either got four weeks of alfie or 6 months. Hope it's the latter

Enjoy
 
 

Just as sweet from any angle!
 

What a goal, made all the sweeter by megging that mongo bastard 
 

A special mention to the manager and staff today, their tactics were spot on, I mentioned in the match thread that due to the walking wounded that the subs would be crucial today, they definitely pulled a rabbit out the hat today with both Arfield and especially Kent, I bet the sainted one didn't expect that, and TBF I bet none of us did either, nor did I expect them both to last the full 90mins, the substitution with Coulibally was IMO very clever as I thought the scum were begining to show signs of getting a hold of the midfield at that point , and although Coulibally isn't very popular ATM I could see the reasoning behind SG's thoughts, (another body in the middle), but who to take off? I fully expected it to be Kent and was surprised it was Candias, but he got it spot on again, he very often gets stick for his substitution decisions so it's only fair that he gets credit when he gets it right.
