I am 46, so can only really go back to the early to mid 80’s. Obviously football fans have their favourites and then some have other sides they will follow as a second side, for a variety of reasons, be it family ties, geography or simply a side people don’t mind but don’t favour to the extent of their preferred side but may wish well against another side.
We are obviously a side it seems popular to now dislike, with a bandwagon mentality and irrational dislike being the order of the day but my question is, before the age of social media and Internet, before the pollution of the press by Celtc-minded journalists and before the nationalist uprising, have we ever been seen as Scotland’s team?
I know we have the largest support, I am more meaning, were fans of other clubs ambivalent towards us or even supporting, from a second club perspective?
