tannerall 25,935 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 In my day, Scottish club nicknames were well known and often quite witty. We were kinda officially nicknamed "The Gers", but also "The Teddy Bears" We had the likes of Hearts who were known as the "Jam Tarts" which is kinda cockney rhyming slang, though I believe there were no cockney's who ever gave a stuff about Hearts. Partick Thistle were known as "The Jags". Not sure why as I always thought there was no real "point" to them, mainly supported by Billy Connoly and folk who didn'tlike football. Ayr were known as "The Honest Men " after a line in a Robert Burns poem. Clyde were known as "the Bully Wee", no idea why. Sounds like a nickname that would have suited cellic better. Nowadays us Gers fans have our own nicknames for teams. Aberdeen = "Sheep" Hibs = "Junkies" Dundee United = "Who ?" But what we need now is suitable nicknames for modern time Scottish football teams, so apart from the obvious "Bunch Of Collected Rangers Hating Cunts", which nicknames do you think would be suitable for the various Scottish football teams ?

SNIPPED Arbroath -- Red Lichties always thought was a cracker -allegedly related to the red light that used to guide fishing boats back from the North Sea to the Harbour. Another rhyming slang was Partick Thistle (Jags) - Harry Wraggs -- Harry was a famous flat-racing jockey & trainer tannerall and Essandoh 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago some people tried to accuse our fans of sectarianism if we used that term. Utterly stupid as that lot had a shop near Barrowland and Glasgow Cross (where else?) called the tim shop so that kind of killed that accusation.
