evilcockney 4 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I think its time to let the world know that we are a Protestant club and not ashamed of it. For a start we should bring back the annual Orange parade to Ibrox where it belongs and dont worry what the PC brigade think. If it was good enough for our fathers and grandfathers to be proud of our protestant traditions, then we should all be proud and stop trying to appease the Pc brigade. I think the club should have a flute band at every home game to entertain our fans and play the Sash before every home game. We should welcome all religions to Ibrox but stop being scared to tell the whole world that we are a protestant club and not ashamed of our past. Rangers are a FOOTBALL club, not a religion or in any way affiliated to a religion. There is no place on a football field or any other sporting field for religion. If you want to follow a religion, go to a church or whatever building your religion preaches in. If you want to see a game of football, go to a football park. Every citizen on Earth has the right to follow whatever religion floats their boat. Just as they have the right to follow whatever football team they want. If you look at all the troubles in the world, past and present and look at what's behind 90% of them... religion. Religions cause more trouble than they solve. So to me, religion is good for absolutely nothing. finally someone who speaks sense What about all the sportsmen/women who cross themselfs before entering their field of play. Boxers who pray to whoever their god is for a safe return to their loved ones, religion is as much apart of everyday life as sport is and to say the two shouldnt cross is absurd. The difference is that they are using religion in a positive light. We could do that too, but to us it is a negative thing that we use to batter Celtic with. In short, dont celebrate Protestantism, we attach Catholics. If we did it right, there would be no issue at all but both sides of Glasgow are filled with so much hatred that it will never be the pure celebration that it could be Tucker said sport and religion shouldnt mix, positive or not. Cant see how haveing the OO at Ibrox is seen as a negative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me why Rangers would not play on the sabbath in our early days. Probably to do with our church link at the time .. i would imagine (cleverly led me down that path, didn't you (!!)) It makes no difference to me, i believe that Religion should have nothing to with either the state or sport (or more specifically .. Rangers) I support the club for the football & the fact that it's an INCLUSIVE club who welcomes people all of creed, colours AND faiths ... that is the traditions that brought me to the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as you say things do move on as our club have done, but sad to say not for the better. We now have to watch boring football, plus showing fear to clubs that our reserves should be able to beat. We have a owner who is to busy trying to be friends with everyone and even has a go at his own fans, who also allows a Celtic strip with the name Lennon on the back to be displayed on the wall. We are that skint that we will sell anyone if the money is right, and cant afford to buy players, so no thanks i will stay in the past with the Real Rangers and that will keep me happy until i leave this world and go up above to join the rest of my absent friends.

Anyway great post minstral, hopefully it will come to pass when the current charlatans are gone. Maybe even restore our earlier signing practices, the ones that won us a European Trophy? Now that's fishing. We won a European cup for singing ? Aye, The Sash won the 1972 Eurovision, did you not know that?

*Manticore* 1,893 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Great, as long as folk remember that we were formed in Glasgow in 1872 by lads from the Gareloch, not in the shadow of Harland & Wolff's 'Samson & Goliath' as is often implied. The Ulster connection took hold in the 1920s (50 years into the club's existence), when the Belfast shipyard H&W opened a shipyard in Glasgow. As said before, not denying our heritage but it's definitely a case of the tail wagging the dog as far as I'm concerned. Dougie to be honest thats a popular misconception. If you read the research by Graham Walker or Bill Murray in their books you will find that the historical event you refer to ( H & W) was not the catalyst to Rangers absorption of a Protestant identity. It started way before that and seemed to be a response to the overtly Catholic/Irish identity of Celtic FC. In fact around the turn of the century Celtic were often referred to as "The Irishmen" by the popular press. The Scottish people yearned for a football club which reflected their culture in the same way Celtic represented the Irish/Catholic community. Rangers (probably for reasons based mainly around transportation) became that Scottish/Protestant platform. Further proof exists from 1912 when the Home Rule crisis in Ireland was on the go. John Ure Primrose, a Rangers chairman, shared the same political platform as Edward Carson - lending his support to the cause and encouraging Glaswiegans to follow suit. Prior to 1920 Rangers were playing charity matches to raise funds for The Orange Order. Walker also comments on the emergence of the Union flag at Ibrox round about this time. Bear in mind that during this period we also had a World War and the Easter uprising. Therefore its probably pretty fair to suggest that' given the foregoing evidence' that the shipworkers who came across to Scotland attached themselves to a club which already had a very strong Protestan identity rather than moulded such an identity themselves. Primrose became 'Club Patron' in 1888. Seems the Club was heading in the Proddy/ Unionist direction just as ra sellick were being founded......
