I think it’s a significant minority - even if some won’t admit it. On this forum it’s seems true that most don’t care, but many on here think it’s a competition to prove how staunch they are. And I love that when it comes to showing the passion, loyalty and ‘no surrender’ attitude of being a Ranger’s fan but I hate being ‘informed’ that to be a true Rangers fan I should be a of a certain political mindset. I’m not SNP and never have been, but i don’t see anything wrong with being a Rangers fan and an SNP supporting, crazy kilted, see u jimmy bunneted Tartan Army fan, or anything else if they so desire. I support our national team, I don’t want to see them pumped. I still dream of qualifying for the World Cup again and doing well. I was a wee boy when Gemmil scored against Holland in 78 and that feeling for me is up there with the famous big Euro wins Rangers have had. Yes, times have changed and politics are different but I just don’t get why anyone would allow that to change the way they feel about the beautiful game. Sad. Bullshit.

So why aren't more Rangers fans attending Scotland games then? If the element of our support who couldn't give a squirt of piss about the Scotland team is the minority, why aren't attendances for Scotland games better? Why the "we hate Rangers more than you!" stuff in the match with the Republic of Ireland, or the booing of Wallace and Jack? The anti-Rangers element is not a minority within the Scotland support, and it's not coincidental that there isn't the same support for the Scottish national team from Rangers fans as in decades past.

graeme_4 34,528 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 See really, I’ve usually always backed the national team (via my couch), and defend folks right to support them (on RM), but now I genuinely just can’t stomach watching cunts like Brown and Griffiths in particular and hoping they win. I couldn’t care less anyone more. It is pretty cringy seeing all the ‘who’s the staunchest’ threads popping up every international break. And now the kilt can’t be worn if you’re a Rangers fan Wear one to stag doos all the time and it works a treat. Courtyard Bear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back a few years you used to be able to put club rivalries to the side... like cheering John Collins scoring against Brazil and cursing Tom Boyds og in 98 in the same game. But, for me, the SFA and the taigs have fucked this. The taigs have no class and no dignity. You can guarantee that those booing Rangers players in the Scotland squad were not Ross County supporters or Killie supporters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted September 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2018 The way I see it, it has been the case for quite a few years now that Rangers players in the Scotland team (when they get a game or part of a game that is) are there mainly as tokens. Picked for the squad just to give a thin gloss of recognition of Rangers by the SFA. For those Rangers players that get some game time in a Scotland jersey they are bait for the sections of the so-called Scotland fans that do not want them there and who are more interested in baiting or booing or name-calling or criticising every move of Rangers players than they are in supporting the national team they are supposedly there to support. It appears to me that Rangers players playing for Scotland are a form of spectator sport in their own right for certain sections of Scotland fans: there for the purpose baiting and goading to fuel an anti-Rangers prejudicial mindset. Will Rangers supporters ever get back to going to Scotland games in large enough numbers to dwarf the baiters and haters of Rangers? I can't foresee any circumstances in the near future or even medium term future where large numbers of Rangers supporters go back to going to Scotland games. Scotland as a football team are sunk junk. Irrecoverable as far as I can see along with the sections of their anti-Rangers support.

They are basically the SNP works team now which is sad to see.I remember as a lad growing up close to Windsor Park the Scotland game was the one everybody looked forward to because of the Scottish fans who would fill the bars and end up on someone's couch after being invited back into the homes of new found friends. At the friendly a few years ago at Hampden against Scotland the bile directed at Northern Ireland fans by the Tartan Army was something else.The anger amongst our fans was palpable at what was being sang at our support ...we actually got a friendlier welcome in Dublin,yes there was banter but nothing like Hampden.It will not be forgot in a hurry ,I think the days of sharing a beer are over .
