bluenose4life 5 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 okay, im getting a bit pissed off with this bullshit. Certain people saying you're a glory hunter if you aint from glasgow (forgetting you coudl be born there and moved). Defination of glory hunter to me is those who follow one team, untill they are losing and follow another who are winning, and swapping all the time so you follow the winning team. Now, as a guy who has supported the gers for the last 24 years, seaon ticket holder for years, went to every game under le guen (i should get a fucking medal for that alone!), been to away games, eu games, and got a ticket for the uefa cup final... despite being from Edin...So i thot, how many other bears live outside the fishbowl? I know many live down south, in belfast, usa, etc...quote that pissed me off wasfrom stirling and supporting rangers ? glory hunter my friend ?

.Williamson. 82,208 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I live in N.Ireland. Never been called a glory hunter in my life for supporting Rangers, I have been called many other things though. Most people here support a top English club, so I guess supporting an SPL club is considered smaller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Some of the guys that live in England and Ireland/Ulster that come over for every game, or every home game - deserves a fucking medal.Even lads from Elgin/Aberdeen/Peterhead etc too.I sometimes think it's a chore making the 20 minute drive from Dumbarton to Ibrox but these types of guys are real fans. More Hardcore than someone who goes to Motherwell or Kilmarnock or Hamilton a few times a season for the away days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coplandbear11 1,087 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I'm from Glasgow but all the bears I know from others parts of Scotland especially are Rangers trough n through. Guys from Places like Campbeltown, Elgin and St. Andrews are real passionate Bears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I can honestly say that I take my hat off to people who travel hundreds of miles to Ibrox, especially the ones who cross the Irish Sea every fortnight. I suppose Glory Hunters could include Glasgow fans, the type who say that 'unless the product on the park improves blah blah...they won't be back', and treat the Club as similar to Asda, where they are mere consumers at times.

.Williamson. 82,208 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 One of the many things I love about this club is the fact people from all over the world are accepted as proper supporters of the club.In England and other countries you get fans of clubs complaining because tickets are being bought by people who aren't local.

rfc_watp 1,503 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Im not denying that people from outside of Glasgow who support Rangers are passionate bears. But i just ask the question, how come so many people from outside of Glasgow support Rangers in the first place?Can you see thousands upon thousand from Glasgow supporting Hearts of Hibs from Edinburgh? not a chance ! so that makes me wonder, do fans from different places support the Rangers due to their success and the size of the club.You go to Ibrox these days and hear so many different accents, why dont they seem 2 support their local team like I do mine ?This is no offence 2 any1 from outside Glasgow who supports the Gers, just my opionion, i respect any fellow trueblue.
