Where are the biggest Rangers/Celtic areas in Glasgow/Scotland?

[Southside_shug]

we drove the tims into the sea in Ayrshire.

Try the Scheme and around the North West of Kilmarnock....

 

[Robo72]

Baillieston-

Baillieston True Blues
Swinton Loyal
Garrowhill RSC

All 5-10mins from each other.
Doesn’t feel anymore blue than green, probably as we’re banging on the door of Coatbridge.

When I was growing up in Baillieston we were outnumbering them but only just,now when I go back to my old mans or my Bros all I see are green and grey...I know the True Blues and the rest fight the good fight!
No Surrender

Gas scheme loyal(Albion st)

 

[rangersno.1]

All of the Southside except simshill and stamperland

Both infested

If your talking about stamperland in clarkston south side then I’m afraid that’s nonsense my gran used to stay there and hardly seen a yahoo in the 27 years since moving just the other month.

 

[Wee calvey bear]

Duke Street is the biggest, One Queen One Crown...

Duke street has many a yes CV psters n windows.. only the Louden Bristol and ally bar are prod pubs. Rest are mixed the pub across from tennents is a poet hovel

 

[Nacho Novo]

Very surprised that no one has mentioned Edinburgh! Especially the number of students moving there from Glasgow etc for University. Must be thousands and probably a bold statement to make but an equal number of Rangers, Celtic, Hearts and Hibs fans that all live there?

 

[daviemc1872]

Partick neutral? Doubt it.

I now live in Dumbarton which is pretty Yahoo heavy, with a few notable exceptions.

dumbarton is a mental yahoo area , like a mini coatbidge

 

[MearnsUnionist]

Thornliebak is going down hill is the hungry horse in the Mearns not mentally challenged infested.

Thornliebank certainly isn't the way it was when my old man grew up there, but is still predominantly Rangers.

 

[Earl of Leven]

Giffnock is a weird one...lots of middle class tims moving in to the huge super Bigot Factory. But in general most people remain staunch, or into rugby/athletics etc...in fact the number of folk we know who don't like football much or go to football is incredibly high.

No football pubs...OP is mentally challenged run but doesn't show OF games etc. Redhurst is blue, and Bank is mixed I think. What about Overlea in Clarkston?

 

[Stuhercules]

Slightly off topic but when the "yes" campaigners opened a campaign shop in Dennistoun i told them their presence wouldnt be welcome in a predominantly loyalist area. They went fkn mental at that statement. t was sheer joy, they went ballistic ! The outrage from their right on hipster idiots was particularly gratifying.

It was at that moment their hatred towards all things British, Rangers & Loyalists became clear and what things would have been like had they won that vote.

 

[penilee57]

Protestant penilee

grew up there, went for a walk about in 2012, popped into the argosy and immediately felt like I was in one of theirs.
posters for their SC and bus tacked up.

Spot on mate.

Probably 70/30 mate.

Cartvale likewise, then there's Busby Masonic.

Eglinton Arms will be about 80/20.

Mearns, Giffnock and Clarkston bowling clubs all staunch too.

 

[Zadok]

Bo'ness. 99.999% Blue.

*Awaits someone creating a new thread of opening a Rangers Bar in the capital!

 

[bobally]

Growing up in the 60s, Fort William, Lochaber, and the wider Inverness-shire were more blue than green...not so sure these days though

 

[Kurt Russell]

In my experience Springburn is more Rangers.

Growing up in Springburn in the 90s, it was definitely majority Rangers. There were a few mentally challengeds who would attend All Saints, and the non-denom schools.

At the moment I stay in the wider Springburn area (Balornock), and I'd say we are still a slight majority, but it's lot closer than I remember it being when I was younger.

 

[Earl of Leven]

Would people say that in general the city centre of Glasgow and inner suburbs are more Celtic now as the generations we grew up with move out the way? Is that a factor? Or is just them winning and attracting glory hunters who - thanks to world class PR - ignore their sordid past?

 

[Kurt Russell]

Very surprised that no one has mentioned Edinburgh!

As the biggest suburb of Glasgow, Edinburgh definitely warrants a mention.

 

[Kurt Russell]

Regarding the city centre, I think it's a lot easier from them to smuggle their pubs by disguising them as Irish pubs. Your average student or tourist who frequents those places probably doesn't give much of a toss about 'ra hoops', but the popularity of those places does give them some claim to having more 'territory' in the city centre than we do.

Regarding the 'inner suburbs' (which I'm assuming you mean the parts of the city not covered by the city centre), not everyone moves out of the city. I was born and grew up in Springburn, and while I've spent time living in NI and England, when I've been living in Scotland it's always been in Glasgow. In the near future I can see myself moving to somewhere like Dennistoun, the city centre, and possibly the West End, but the likes of Newton Mearns and Bishopbriggs do not interest me.

I also happen to know quite a few older bears who have remained in the areas of the city they've grown up in, but I suppose the counterpart to that is they did not really have the means to move elsewhere, and in many cases their children (who had better paying jobs) did move away.

Spent my teenage years in Currie, lots of bluenoses there, even though it was primarily a Hearts area back then. Currently live in an area that’s mainly Hibs.

Longstone seems to have a decent Rangers presence these days, but again the vast majority are Hearts/Hibs.

 

[ONPOR]

Wee bloo toon for me when back in uk

Even the xnas lights are blue and white

Just ask someone from bowling club

 

[Kwodman]

Celtic towns and areas that immediately spring to mind are Royston, Coatbridge, Port Glasgow and Clydebank.

Rangers - most of Ayrshire, Bearsden/Milngavie, Newton Mearns, Clarkston, Giffnock, Larkhall, Strathaven, Bridgeton, Cambuslang, Shettleston.

We're not all mentally challengeds in Clydebank.

 

[Charlesdexterward]

Bo'ness. 99.999% Blue.

And all the better for it. Good luck being a tim and going into the Crown Bar in Grangepans!

 

[BlueHaze]

Hullo,Hullo,
We are the Ayrshire Boys,
Hullo,Hullo,
You'll know us by our noise,
We,re up to our knees in fhilthy mud,
No surrender is our cry,
We are the people and Rangers till we die.
South Ayrshire is loyal.

 

[Ruglenbear1872]

I wouldn't question you as you know best obv. I just find it full of second generation mhankies who have came from poorer areas and have massive crucifix shaped chips on their shoulders

This is my experience of Simshill as well.

 

[Tam fae cambuslang]

Shawlands is letting it's self down these days with Sweeneys on the park and Hegertys being rat traps. Although was glad when Kelly's closed this year.

Still mostly staunch though. Even our hipster bars like the Butterfly and Pig have a hand above the door.

Kelly's just moved to city centre at the old quarter gill did it not?

 

[El Mas Loco]

East Kilbride is majority Rangers. They have maybe 2/3 pubs at most, although they have been very noisy the past few years.

 

[Humbug]

Greenock is definitely full of the mentally challengeds.
Maybe more rangers fans travel from port Glasgow than the scum but more scum live here.
We are out numbered for sure

This will be due to the amount of beggars who were ready to slip back to Ireland during the war as part of the yellow convoy.

 

[allrightfeet]

The three villages of Bridge of Weir, Kilmacolm and Houston are still strongly blue.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

The fact it says Shettleston is Celtic means this is wrong. Not even getting into the "partick thistle" areas

This definitely, Greenfield is green 2 tim schools virtually next door Shettleston has Eastbank Academy which when I went was full of good guys wi the occasional tin tape. But Greenfield doesn't even get on the map.

 

[Rick_Sanchez]

Outside Glasgow, Johnstone and Renfrew are more Rangers than Celtic.

Yeah Renfrewshire is predominantly us as is Dumfries and Galloway

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Are you being serious? That rhyming slang is based off a running club that are not even based in Shettleston.

Crownpoint I think Gallowgate.

 

[thevietnambear]

Clydebank is staunch.

Except Whitecrook, full of bheggers

 

[SimonLeBon]

Clydebank full a tims

No it's not and I've lived here for 35 years, a lot of Tims but in no way are they the majority.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Is baillieston no a Vullij

 

[Neilstonger]

Probably 70/30 mate.

Cartvale likewise, then there's Busby Masonic.

Eglinton Arms will be about 80/20.

Mearns, Giffnock and Clarkston bowling clubs all staunch too.

As an ex Eastwood boy I’d be very sad to hear that the Mearns, Giffnock, williamwood, Woodfarm and Clarkston were anything but blue. And I’d be gobsmacked if Thornliebank was anything but 100% staunch but I suppose times change. It’s good to see that there are still a few like yourself MU fighting the good fight..

 

[Duranman]

For any Ayrshire Bears.

I have family in Galston and when I first visited them it seemed to be fairly blue.
Recent years I’ve noticed more of a pape influence when I’ve been over.
Twice in fact in pubs I’ve witnessed some typical 19th Century Terrorist like behaviour.

Galston is the pape town of the Irvine valley. Has the chapel and the Catholic
School. Newmilns ( where I am originally from) is now mainly DSS Glasgow/EK overspill and some locals. I hardly recognise anyone there now. I didn't even know what a mentally challenged was other than seeing them on TV till I was about 10. Darvel is definitely Rangers though.

 

[Live Forever]

Baillieston is debatable.

There's 3 different supporters clubs leaving Baillieston for Ibrox every second Saturday - 2 from the masonic and 1 from the log cabin.

Then you also have Swinton and Garrowhill busses which are arguably Baillieston.

So 5 busses every Second Saturday - the poets have 1 from Swinton.

But in their favour we don't have 1 rangers boozer and they have multiple 19th Century Terrorist sh*tholes

What’s the 3 clubs? I only know of the BTB’s and the recently formed GRSC that leaves from the Springcroft. The more the better though.

Is the Loggy not a Gers boozer? What’s the mhanks pubs? I know the Thistle is.

 

[Talktalk]

Who's that?

Mossblown loyal . He is a star act on FF and not to be messed with. Good lad into the bargain

Yeah, Galston is a weird place.

I'm originally from Hurlford and that was mostly Rangers/Killie when I was growing up. The catholic school shut down about 20 years ago because of a lack of pupils.

 

[Jimmy Mac]

Loyalist Knightswood, or at least it was when I lived there. Been away for 17 years.

Don't worry traditions are being kept.

 

[Mview83]

Harthill Loyalists

 

[ELGers]

It all belongs to Rangers as far as I am concerned.

Also East Lothian where I am I would say is more Rangers, home of John Knox and all that.

 

[MearnsUnionist]

And I’d be gobsmacked if Thornliebank was anything but 100% staunch but I suppose times change. It’s good to see that there are still a few like yourself MU fighting the good fight..

There's plenty of us here mate and it won't be changing anytime soon.

Like I said my old man was born and bred Thornliebank and although we're in the majority, it's not the stronghold it once was.

 

[Polar bear]

Peterhead is blue, stayed there for a few years. Infact Aberdeenshire as a whole is Rangers. Either that or I just keep good company.

Back in the sixties Aberdeen had zero catholic schools.

 

[Sheamaker]

Back in the sixties Aberdeen had zero catholic schools.

I think the city itself used to be very staunch, however now from my experience at least the shire is definetly more bear friendly.

 

[BattlefieldBear]

Interesting to hear Shettleston is up for debate. I always thought that place was 100% poet, considering we call them the Shettlestons.

 

[Gios_Gillet]

As a former resident of Partick, it was very much a Rangers area back then. I doubt it’s changed that much in the last 10 years?

Can confirm a lot of my family are from Partick and all good proddy blood. Used to stay up Knightswood and it was pretty mixed where i lived. Yoker however, was rabid mentally challengeds, probably still walking about with that ugly,ugly bumblebee strip they had

Im not saying this because im biased which i am, but its no secret that most of the shitter areas in Glasgow are infested

 

[andy17x]

You can add Bishopton to that.

It's changing though with Dargavel - last time in the pub to get the bus and the Celtic game was on the big TVs with the Arsenal Spurs relegated to the back - that was unheard of previously

 

[muz73]

I spent my formative years in Lanarkshire, mostly Hamilton and Bothwell.

Hamilton I remember was probably blue back in the day but I’m pretty sure it’s 50-50 nowadays.

Bothwell I reckon has more of us but the bheasts make more of their association with Scotland’s real shame so it comes across a bit poety.

I’m pretty sure Cleland has a high proportion of mentally challengeds as does parts of Blantyre.

Stonehouse is probably on a par with Larkhall.

Now living in Broomhill, where fitba is a sport for commoners, so it’s Loyalist Partick for me when I need decent company.
