    I doubt we’ll ever get rid of bigotry in Scotland and deep down a part of me dosent want to lose it, I’d rather it went back to the days when both sides could take it and people weren’t so obsessively offended these days but...the singing isn’t what this post is about, its more the incidents that seem to be creeping into Scotland as a whole recently not just a Rangers problem and Steven Gerrard is bang on here and It’s his honest opinion not just some shite he’s been told to say to make the club look good:
    Steven Gerrard admitted he'll struggle to attract top players to Rangers if yobs continue to shame the Scottish game.
    The Ibrox boss confessed he is worried about the image of football north of the border following a spate of unsavoury off-field incidents.
    Gerrard takes his Light Blues side to Easter Road tonight where celtic winger Scott Sinclair had a Buckfast bottle launched at him by a Hibs fan in the first of three ugly Scottish Cup ties.
    Just 24 hours later some travelling Rangers supporters ripped up seats and hurled them at home fans, who unfurled an offensive banner aimed at Alfredo Morelos, during their clash with Aberdeen.
    And the following night Gary Caldwell was pelted with coins as he stood in the Partick Thistle dug-out during the Jags quarter final tie against Hearts.
    Gerrard insists it’s a societal problem rather than just football and that it isn’t exclusive to Scotland but he is concerned about the impact of the Scottish Premiership’s image.
    The 38-year-old signed big-name England striker Jermain Defoe in January and believes it will be harder to recruit star players unless there is a clampdown on the morons.
    Gerrard said: “There’s a load of positive things to say about the support in Scotland but if these incidents continue and increase you could have a problem attracting top players to come here.
    Players want to come to Scotland to play in big games. The crowds in general here are superb. The Scottish fans are excellent in the main but that could be a factor in their decision making.
    “We all have a responsibility - managers, staff, players, fans, media - to try and create a positive image of the game.
    And I don’t just mean for everyone domestically because these games go out worldwide and clips of these instances from the fans, whether it be chants or bottles or coins thrown, it gets shown all over the world.
    “It certainly dents the reputation of the game in Scotland we all have a responsibility to protect that and try and improve the behaviour of the supporters.
    The most important thing is the safety of the players and I don’t want to be sitting talking about someone getting badly hurt or injured and if it continues that could be the case.
    “When players see incidents like this, it’s only normal that when they go near the fans to take a throw-in or a corner, it’s going to enter their minds.
    A coin getting thrown or a bottle or an object could cause injuries that could last a lifetime. The police in Scotland and the authorities are doing everything they can.
    “The game in general is in a decent place. These are isolated incidents in certain games in recent weeks that paints a picture of a big, giant problem.
    “I don’t think that’s the case. I’ve got trust in the authorities to do everything they possibly can to make sure that these incidents don’t happen at all.
    In the main, the majority behave fantastically well and they come and support the team but if you see any incidents or something about to brew or start, then have a word or report it to a steward because that could be the difference between a player being hurt or a club receiving a big fine that would be an injustice.”
    Asked if it would improve things, he said: “It’s a good question but difficult to answer because I’m employed by the club and more often than not it’s not the club’s fault.
    “It’s the fault of individuals – or the minority, if they’re in a group – so maybe it’s the individuals and the groups that deserve the punishment and not necessarily the clubs.
    I don’t totally agree with that rule. Sometimes it’s harsh on the clubs to receive a big fine because the clubs do everything they can – and I know how hard this club works behind the scenes with the supporters and police to eradicate that type of behaviour.”
    Some Gers fans ignored a warning from the club not to step out of line at Pittodrie as the Ibrox outfit were hit with a £3000 bill for damaged seats.
    Gerrard said: “It’s not great behaviour or something these people should be proud of and I don’t like talking about it. It’s disappointing.
    “I don’t think it’s the first time that’s happened. This happens with different sets of supporters when they go to opposition grounds, whether it’s small incidents or large incidents, so it’s very difficult to stop because of rivalries.
    It is not perfect down south either. My experiences of being a player down south, there were many press conferences where you were talking about coins being thrown or fans running onto the pitch or damage at certain stadiums.
    “It is a worldwide society problem, not just domestic. If you went to a game, Fenerbahce against Galatasaray for example in Turkey, you would see incidents. That is disappointing.”
     
    my personal opinion is if you want to be a fanny an throw bottles n coins or whatever, do it outside the stadium away from the club and don’t drag the reputation of the club down to gutter level.

    We need stability at the moment. Just over half a season of Gerrard does not constitute as this. 
    in that half a season, Gerrard has tried to build a team from the ground up, has gotten us to the group stage of the Europa league, and has given us out first 90 minutes win over them in 7/8 years. 
    When we are beaten, we are beaten by the odd goal, not 4,5-0 like previous managers. We are a tougher team to beat, we do have a tougher mentality than previous squads.
    perspective needs to be taken here, and realistically Gerrards job this season was to be competitive, narrow the gap and probably win a cup competition. We all want the league, but it would have to have been some swing to do it this season. Expectations have risen with the European run, a nowhere near as consistent celtic squad, and us winning the of game, but let's not forget where we are.
    Sure, progress is slow but there are signs we will be there soon. (Though he does need to punt worrall)

    Yes because the quality of player in the squad has improved on recent years. You sack him and bring someone new in and they will want to bring their own players in again.
    We can't keep hitting reset every season. Against tougher opposition that attack us I don't even think you can question that we have gotten better. We need to learn how to break down the teams in this league that sit in against us though

    Well done Gazza...the bigger man.
    You're the greatest player to play in Scotland in a generation or more, you won multiple titles and multiple individual honours in your time with us.  As an Englishman, you're lauded by your own country (England) as one of their greatest ever talents and you've been inducted into their Hall of Fame.  .Off the pitch, you're the man who continually gave to charity and others less fortunate (over £1m I believe) without ever really telling a soul...you just did it.  That should be enough...
    ...but you told a "racist" joke once...something I'd say we've all done.  Your joke was an off the cuff,  low level, silly attempt at humour, without malice and without intention to offend, the kind of joke or silly remark that most of us have made at some point...but this time offence was taken and elevated to criminal status.  What did you do? You acknowledged it was wrong, you accepted that someone could take offence so you admitted guilt and took the punishment.  Crime of the century?  Hardly.
    You also played a flute once and sang a song once or twice.  Like every football fan ever you sang apparently distasteful words, but in a private environment.  We've all done that too, other high profile players have also done this in public environments too .  But again you apologised for any offence, in your eyes it's banter, but you can accept some may take offence.  Crime of the century?  Hardly.
    I don't believe you don't have a bad bone in your body, you have an illness which you constantly fight,  you're illness needs constant support. love and help...your friends and family all rally round to support...but that doesn't stop you falling occasionally....all that really upsets me is that' you've lashed out at a loved one...  Crime of the century?  Not good, but a you're a man with mental health problems (no excuse)and you know that was wrong.  You've sought help with that and been through the courts for that. You've been punished.  Recuperation continues though.
    But for Scotland, and Scottish Football in particular, they want to shun you, pillory you, deny you recognition for your contribution as a footballer and erase you from the Scottish Football history books.  You say, in your own words, that you played some of the best football of your career when in Scotland, and us Rangers fans will 100% agree with that.  And that, Paul, is the problem.  You were too good for them.  You made them look silly, you teased them with the ball at your feet, and you joined in the fan banter to wind opponents up.  And then you compounded it all by scoring a wonder goal against a country's national team, that, outwith Rangers fans, didn't like you anyway.   Now that just wasn't on, and that brings us to where we are today.
    It's not because you sang a song or two, it's not because you wound up opposing fans, it's not because you told a "racist" joke and it's not because, unforgivably, you hit your spouse...it's because you were a thorn in their side, it's because you played for Rangers and it's because you were English and scored against the Scotland national team that they've held these grudges against you that's resulted in this insult.  This is their revenge.  Nice people eh?
    Gazza, remember, we are the people.  We are the people that lauded you, appreciated you and will forever hold you dear.  You'll always be loved in Scotland by the people that matter to you.  You're OUR and your countries Hall of Famer.  We are the people and you don't need anything else!

    However the game pans out today Morelos should be hammered by the club for that utter stupidity.  Potentially throwing his team mates under the bus and forcing us to play with 10 men in difficult conditions a few days before we go to Parkhead.
    The boy can be an absolute liability at times.
