I have looked can't find any pics of the stadium before 1969 where you can read what it says on the crest

Heres an old crest. Not the one on the side but no sign of 'aye'.

Theres a thread here thats as inconclusive. No evidence exists of it ever saying 'Aye Ready'.

Not sure why he has sold his story about this. Makes him come out like an arse. I worry about some of our fans. During the Old Firm game at Ibrox we had pics of our fans rallying round a scum fan as he was getting threats/stares on the subway. Sickening some of them have a little love in and don't understand what it means to hate those bastards.

 

 

Many fans will know Rangers Football Club’s motto as “Aye ready”.

But a diehard Bluenose was gutted when he was forced to ask Celtic’s club shop to print jerseys for him because the Ibrox outlet had no “I” letters left.

Andrew Grant, 32, from Glasgow , was scrambling to get novelty “Mr and Mrs” strips done up as a wedding present for a Rangers-supporting pal’s nuptials in the US.

He swallowed his pride when he asked bitter Old Firm rivals Celtic’s store to help produce the goods.

Council worker Andrew said: “I hope the £30 Celtic got from me doesn’t help them buy the next Moussa Dembele.

“The Rangers shop had no ‘A’ and no ‘I’ letters – which was a problem when I needed ‘Mr Tait’ and ‘Mrs Tait’ printed.

“I’d much rather the money had gone into Rangers but I was desperate.”

Andrew was trying to get his gift ready for groom Andrew Tait and bride Ashley before jetting out for yesterday’s ceremony in San Francisco.

He said: “You just presume it’s the sort of thing that would be pretty straightforward but it turned into a real saga. The Rangers shop said I should try Sports Direct but the one in the city centre was missing Ts and a 6.

“JD Sports and Greaves couldn’t help either.

“So I was then scratching my head thinking how to salvage this and thought I’d just give the Celtic shop a try.”

Staff at the store told Andrew it was the first time they had ever been asked to help with a Rangers top. But dad-of-two Andrew says they could not have been more helpful.

He said: “I had to go behind enemy lines and it was pretty surreal going up to a counter in front of a big poster with Celtic players doing the huddle. I said, ‘I’ve got a bit of a favour to ask?’ And she replied, ‘Don’t worry, if you’ve not bought the top here, that’s okay.’

“But I said, ‘No, I need a bigger favour than that’. Then I showed them the strip.

“The guy who does the printing laughed and said, ‘I don’t know if my printers are going to be able to handle this.’

“He said it was definitely the first time it had happened.

“He went out of his way to help me because all the new Celtic strips have gold lettering on them so he had to go into last season’s drawers to get everything we needed.

“And, as far as I can tell, I was charged the normal price – there was no premium for it being a Rangers strip.”

He added: “I hope the newlyweds appreciate the lengths I’ve had to go to in order to get them the perfect present.

“Andrew used to be a season ticket-holder and is Rangers daft. He lives in Australia now but is always watching the games in the middle of the 
night over there.

“The funny thing is that the place where they are getting married is called Paradise.”

 

I'm not sure that the Celtic fan was getting threats when he was on the subway, but even if he was, and some folk stepped in to defend him, where's the problem? Thats the human thing to do. The guy supports a different team, so fucking what? He should be able to ride public transport without being threatened or intimidated. The reality is that most people in Scotland come from mixed families and don't live in wee pathetic bubbles, on either side of the divide.

All of them are evil mate. You won't meet a good tim. Some may end up in a group of friends but you can only take them so far before they come out with vile.

I know hardly anyone from a mixed family on either side . That's not me saying that Rangers and Celtic fans are not friends from school , work or whatever but mixed families are still a rarity in my experience these days

Exactly. None of my family close and distant are from that side. The way it should be.

No, but you do think that people who don't come from some sort of mixed background live in some sort pathetic bubble? I hate that attitude as much as I hate tims ffs. Is that what this country has actually come to? We've to actively seek out people now or we're in a pathetic bubble.

Cool. I'll just cut out loads of my family and friends who I've known for years then.

 

I find your outlook to be pretty sad, if it's genuine.

I suppose its all anecdotal, but my experience is the exact opposite to yours.
