Tom0411 1,226 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 As long as I can remember "A Bluenose" has been an affectionate term for a Rangers supporter and wonder if anyone knows where it came from. To the best of my knowledge I first heard it being used by an uncle who supported Airdrie round about the mid to late 50's. Please don't tell me it is now a derogatory term and is on a banned list!!!

Ger_onimo 20,488 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 It's because our fans used to go out in gangs hunting Catholics. When they caught one, they would squeeze their nose so hard that it turned blue. A disgusting term that belongs in the dark ages. Shame on you for mentioning it.

don logan 8,070 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Original spelling was blewnose. A derogatory term used by the filth against us as they were disgusted that we used hankies rather than hoiwk our snotters up and gob them out. But, because most of us are illiterate we now spell it bluenose and it's completely un-related to the colour we play in. Be ashamed OP, pish patter.
