So what about Celtic fans that are in the British armed forces, do we hope they die?

He's a Celtic fan and chose to represent Britain, fair play to him.

Some fucking idiots on this forum.

of the medals won so far - many have been by scots but people like you seem to forget that !

Aww petal - every medal we have won has been for Great Britain by Brits :uk:

We can look forward to the advance of Team GB unifying footballing excellence for the benefit of the nation. And absolutely to the detriment to the xenophobic SFA and their pathetic works team.

FIFA knows it makes sense (tu)

Gotta admit I'm a nationalist and SNP voter. It annoys me that some of you think Alex salmond would want team GB to lose.

Despite me wanting independence I still want Team GB to do well...afterall like it or not we are a part of it and scots are competing. I hate the anthem but that goes hand in hand with my bigoted view on England. I also wanted Team Gb to lose in football but again thats not because its team GB... if they called it team england I would be fine its just I'm worried it threatens the existence on my national football team.

So I suppose what I'm saying is... Nice one GB, I'll back you on this occasion but my support will be lacking come the end on the olympics. You never know ... this may be the last time Team GB compete :scot:

I'm surprised that an SNP supporter would stick his head up over this one. Scots who are proud to compete for a GB team which is wildly overperforming for a country of its size with the help of UK based institutions backed by UK lottery funding. Hard to think of a better example of why the union works.

Remind me who many medals have been won by ROI, Iceland and Norway?

you seem to forget that scots are part of team GB as well, that scots also contribute to the national lottery oh and god save the queen is also our national anthem and will remain so as the queen is our queen.

GSTQ – THE ONLY ANTHEM FOR SCOTLAND

Whilst every sane person in this country would recognise that the rousing anthem ‘God Save The Queen’ is the one true anthem for our country it still amazes me how the uneducated can attempt to say otherwise. It is now time to explode the one main myth that these people use as their defence, and that is “it contains an anti-Scottish sentiment”.

The fact is that the anachronistic "Rebellious Scots to crush" verse is not, and never was, part of an official national anthem, because there has never been an official version. Presently, there are four commonly accepted verses. 

There are literally scores of fifth verses, as a reading of God Save the Queen: The History and Romance of the Worlds First National Anthem by Percy A. Scholes (London: Oxford University Press, 1954) makes evident. There is even a verse about putting "Yankees in a fix".

The "Rebellious Scots" verse, therefore, is not "the fifth verse", rather it is "a" verse - one of many. Moreover, it is a verse last sung, if at all, in the eighteenth century. It was probably not written by the person who wrote the first verse, nor even the person who added the second and third.

In any case, the phrase "rebellious" Scots is a clear reference to the Jacobites. Thus the sentiment, if uttered, would have been approved by many Scots, including the entire Church of Scotland, who were likewise against what they considered to be the threatening Catholicism of the Stuarts.

There has never been an official version of the National Anthem, and Buckingham Palace has never approved any version, believing the words evolve by accepted tradition rather than official decree.

Therefore every Scotsmen and Scotswoman should stand up and sing heartily – GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

British and Scottish AND proud.

Best thing about the Rangers support is that we welcome all.

Like me,a republican socialist who can't stand the hijacking of Rangers by the red hand mob from Ulster.

Aye you welcome all then :rolleyes:

The Red Hand of Ulster with the Crown is a symbol of our Britishness if it offends you so much support the bheasts.

Rangers have a big following from here in Ulster its part of the fabric of Rangers.

Your comment needs to be removed immediately troll or no troll its a disgrace. :angry:

That "red hand mob from Ulster" are far more welcome at Ibrox than your type are! Thousands of Ulster men and women spend a fortune following the Rangers and go that extra mile with having to get to games with ferries etc. They've been at the club for over a hundred years and will probably be here when you're gone.
