It’s a sign of the times unfortunately especially in the West of Scotland where you have more and more catholic schools and non-denominational schools are being shut down. This is mainly due to the labour and SNP councillors we’ve had in place over the past 20 years or so. Also the campaign of pure poison against our club has definitely turned a lot of parents away from having their kids supporting Rangers. Not mine right enough, he has no chance of supporting anyone else. 👍🏻

Not sure where you live in Northern Ireland, but anytime I go home, next time being less than 2 weeks, by far the most worn football jersey in a Rangers one. It always was that way, and I don't see it changing anytime soon. I'm from a decent sized town, not a small village.
Also, the flute band that I grew up in is still going strong, not only that, they have a 'Veterans' band for older chaps like myself that were in it. Likewise for the other main band where i'm from, they have 'auld boys' as well as the main band.
I see lots of the younger generation on Facebook in bands or in Lodges, when once Lodges were for older ones, at least in Northern Ireland.
I also hear ones complaining there's not enough joining bands etc, but they were complaining when I was young, it's just the way it is.
I was brought up in working class Protestant background. Though i'm aware the middle class rugby, alliance leaning Prods would be as you say, discourage Rangers tops.
I live in London now, my 3 year old is always kitted out, mainly thanks to GovanBlue!

drewgardiner88 got a reaction from GlasgowRangersFC in Apologists
With all going on recently I want to know why is it seen by kids as cool to wear Gaelic or septic tops yet very rarely see kids wear Rangers tops. I'm talking more so in NI where I live.
When I was wee I never had my Gers kit off and loads my mates were the same.
I actually took my wee boy to the park the other day and a guy I knew asked him who he supported and he shouted Rangers. Later on the guy comes to me and says you should maybe teach him not to shout that out in public. No chance I said he will never be ashamed of who he is and who he supports.
With all this bollocks in media now what songs and words we can and can't say, what colours we can and can't wear is it any wonder the next generation of Rangers fans esp in NI tend to just wear EPL kits.
Our PR... and I don't just mean Rangers, I mean the whole lot with our unionist/orange culture is abysmal and we are in massive danger of it being wiped out all together unless we can change the toxic narrative the media has put on us.
Has anyone experienced or noticed similar?
Or even better any solutions to stop the rot!

In my opinion taigs wear Septic gear because they have f**k all else to wear,rather than Bears who have a wardrobe.
F**k them,if your kid wants to wear our colours encourage him.

You’ve kind of answered your own question mate. 👍👍
We had a Fenian councillor over here that started a Facebook page appealing to parents not to let their kids be bigots don’t let them wear a Rangers top.

Hi guys, just a quick message to say that I won't be uploading any videos for the foreseeable future.
I have always kept my private life, and that of my familys, exactly that - private.
What I will say though, is that my wife hasn't been keeping great, that's why I've not made many videos this last couple of months or so.
There has been some games recently I haven't even seen, let alone make a video of.
And unfortunately the news we got this week wasn't what we were wanting, so this is just going to intensify.
So all my time, effort and energy will be going towards caring for her for now.
I know some of you like these videos, and are grateful for them, but I hope yous understand. Who knows, I might post one out of the blue, but they'll be rare for the foreseeable.
Cheers
Scott

Funny how this charge raises its head just now, the week that could possibly see us progress to the europa league group stages and also look to consolidate our position as genuine title challengers (celtic v hearts should be tough and gives us a chance v st mirren) then the big one next weekend.
The charge is from the 18th of July and now rears its head?? Call me a cynic but i think we are getting drawn into a battle of hearts and minds, we are being painted as the bad guys while the mob from the east are embroiled in a child abuse scandle and have had multiple warnings and even scottish court cases brought against some fans (hanging orangemen). This to me is more than just coincidence and we need to tread really carefully in the next couple of weeks.

I still remember the game where there was a letter left on every seat written by ally mccoist.
He said that he know the fans would follow the club to hell and back well he was 100% correct!
Great post. No surrender.
