That is class.
Respect rarely if ever shown in the twisted country ww live in.

I’m done with them now, in an online capacity at least. No more kerryfail, Clyde phone in meltdowns, following their games if they are losing, talking to random Celtic fans of social media, reading insane blogs from Phil or semi colon etc. I’ll check the league table before our game so I see where we stand. Rangers only. What can I say, Thursday was the most traumatic on the pitch fan experience of my life.Everything has to have a celtic angle for some people doesn't it?
Celtic’s please love us doesn’t involve complementing other clubs. They expect to be loved because it’s them. Frankfurt are showing respect to their opponents, given we were written off against Dortmund and Leipzig it shows a level of class above from a lot of the snobs in German football. They came to the tournament from a similar position to us too. Albeit it is quite unexpected, especially in a paper none of us would wipe our arse with!I find this totally weird tbh.

Just say it once and move on.
Maybe just me but no chance they do this if they lost
I saw one of their fans apologising for winning after the game to another bear, I was dumbfounded, to be honest.Not one for the overly friendly stuff and it still hurts a lot but it makes me feel better seeing stuff like this. Their fans are passionate enough to know we're on the opposite end of how they're feeling the now, as we're not too different in terms of how much we love our clubs. Hope they do well in the CL, we'll be there as well.
They go searching for it. Asking everyone and anyone about their club and sticking Celtic gear on them for a photo op.I find this totally weird tbh.

Nonetheless, isn't it better when football fans throughout Europe mix in a friendly carnival atmosphere sharing something in common, rather than the ugly tribalism of so-called football-firms bent on violence?It’s nothing like that. They actively go around Europe looking to formulate “special relationships” with any big and/or historic club they play. The claim to have a bond with every side they meet (the same season they they had their tongue up Barcelona’s metaphorical arsehole they were also claiming special ties with Villarreal), and none of it is organic, it’s all fabricated by their board and their orc fans.
We haven’t done anything to try and invoke any sort of positive response from the likes of Frankfurt, the respect we’ve been shown has come about organically, which is great. We don’t need to try and give these clubs a reach around in the hopes they’ll be our friends and say nice things about us.
Haha. This is something we all need to be doing in my opinion.I saw one of their fans apologising for winning after the game to another bear, I was dumbfounded, to be honest.
I said this the other day, but we are a massive part of their folklore in football, both Rangers as a club, and Glasgow as a city, due to there final v Real Madrid in the 60s. They seen getting us in the final as a throwback to their glory days. A proper traditional club of European fame, much like ourselves.Frankfurt have been on their own journey back.
They are an historic name in European football and they cherish that history.
I think they recognise us as having a similar heritage and they respect that.
No “look at me”, just respect.
And how does Frankfurt doing this mean Rangers are behaving in such a way?Well they are the classical “every team has to love us” aren’t they?
I find this totally weird tbh.

Sorry mate. Celtic chase "speshul relashunships" based on political ideology. "Ooh Barcelona are seperatists like us. We are best friends". "Ooh Liverpool huv a lot of Irish immigrunts in their support, they must love us"
Frankfurt are acknowledging a club that reminds them of themselves. Huge following fanbase. Full of passionate supporters. Anyone who was in Seville would testify about the bonds created between fans. Its simply reciprocal respect rather than a forced friendship
I find this totally weird tbh.

Maybe so but they’ll improve over the summer.Would be tremendous if we get them in the group stages.
Because they’ll be the worst team in pot 1.
I think most Pot 2,3&4 teams will be thinking the sameWould be tremendous if we get them in the group stages.
Because they’ll be the worst team in pot 1.
Disagree, it’s giving praise to others rather than asking for it (which it the tim way). Agree it wouldn’t be forthcoming if we won but we having been taking out full page ads in the German tabloids so seems about right?I find this totally weird tbh.

Yes that seems entirely pleasurable. Come on man….Fair points
I just think it’s a bit much. Tweet it once and move on
They will be looking to arrange friendlies and testimonials next
Suspect they will be. So you’d rather draw Barca than EF?Wont Barca be in pot 1 too?
Because EF shagged them over two legs. Unless, of course, Barca dip further into their gargantuan debt to improve.
Glad we responded.
That would have been tremendous. Those cvnts would have still taken the moneyAt least it wasn't the national
I'm quite happy to take all the positive press we can get. This isn't a typical Celtic "oh love us please" because it's not coming from us. It's not us going on about how great we were, it's others saying it unprompted.I find this totally weird tbh.

Was thinking that myself. You see so much bile directed at us here that when we get the respect we do from proper clubs around Europe, it only serves to shine on a bigger light on what a classless and pathetic motley crew we share a league with.I can't fault such a dignified gesture.
These European clubs show how classless Scottish football actually is.
It’s all PR, really. No harm to it, but I wouldn’t take it seriouslyI find this totally weird tbh.
