The ground was 80% Liverpool support which surprised a lot of people. Just shows that they are not as popular as they think even in the republic.

Gazza1212 1,212 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Look, we still comfortably outnumber these fuckers despite the nonsense spouted from torbet towers. We are a bigger club in every regard. The taigs new found wealth does not change that ffs its only a bi product of our own financial decline. What's happened over the last few years is they have simply taken the lead in the propaganda war. We've forgotten how to promote ourselves is all. Take pride in who and what we are. We are not the ones with skeletons in the cupboard so stop listening to plastic paddy media tripe, to fuck with their lies and misinformation. Glasgow Rangers are Scotlands premier football club as much today as we always have been. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowds certainly seem bigger, and I would say we vastly outnumber the scum in terms of support in Scotland. However, when I watched the New Years game in Edinburgh recently, I was surprised there were more taigs in the pub. Never used to be like that. Anyway, as I don't live in Scotland anymore, and haven't for many a year, I was just wondering what people's views were on this. I reckon within the central belt it's pretty even but between the 2 but Scotland as a whole more bears for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we get back on top they will resort back to their usual hiding and paranoid ramblings of Masonic conspiracy theories. The sooner the better.

My big worry is the kids that haven't really experienced a winning Rangers, can't get the strips etc, don't enjoy what they see on the park. We could lose a generation. We could but we won't. It's my opinion that most of us support Rangers because of our parents. I support Rangers because of my dad and my kids support Rangers because of me. In the 90s there was a waiting list to get on the waiting list for an Ibrox season ticket which followed a period without much success. Technically we won a league less than 2 years ago. Weans don't know the difference and part of that is down to us. I'm sure we all celebrated winning the Championship just like a top flight league win when you consider the season before but more importantly, the fact we were back to where we should be before the shameful decisions by other clubs to demote us.

My worry is each year of us still being seen as being in turmoil we turn off more and more of our next generation of fans. A lot of alternatives to grab their attention on TV and many will just be turned off football completely. celtic PR certainly have had the upper hand on us for the last 5 years. There is a bounce in their step even although they have no competition and win the trophies just by showing up. You see it also with the resurgence of the plastic Irish pubs around Glasgow.

Remember back in the 80s kids running around with Liverpool spurs and other tops. Living around Merseyside and lancashire for 20 odd years it's mainly Liverpool Everton and man Utd fans I have known and bar a few plastic Irish everyone likes Rangers it's myth they are liked down here in fact most hate them and know exactly what they stand for there is no big love in with Liverpool etc all in their tiny minds. Was a bit of a surprise when I first moved down here how many man u fans hate them. Good point. I had a full west Ham strip in around '95 for some reason...

Chelsea have just got permission to build a new stadium on existing site one of the new stands backs unto Chelsea terrace homes (probably worth 1 million plus)the residents got an unbelievable amount to give the go ahead.One resident up until 2 weeks ago was holding out,putting the whole project on hold but eventually came to an agreement ,can you imagine his neighbours reaction if he had told Chelsea to fuck off.
