Some years ago, coming back from a European game in Athens (Panathinaikos) we got onto Glasgow airport about 3.00 am and had to hang about until 7.00 for our flight to Belfast. we met about six Hearts supporters at the only coffee shop still open and had a good yarn with them. They were all great except for one total arsehole who just slobbered about 'bigots' 'weegies' and so on. then went into a huff. He would have got a sore face only his pals apologised and had a go at him themselves. I think this sums up Hearts supporters - in every bunch of roses there are always a few pricks.I’m disgusted. I’m actually embarrassed by what our support has evidently become, and how we are viewed on here is pretty much cemented by the behaviour the last 48 hours. We are meant to be better than this…
That about rings true with me. Talk to one often when he’s out walking his spaniel. he hates the scum and always happy to see us beat them. Reckon he’s an old style hearts fan, over 60 and went to the right schoolSome years ago, coming back from a European game in Athens (Panathinaikos) we got onto Glasgow airport about 3.00 am and had to hang about until 7.00 for our flight to Belfast. we met about six Hearts supporters at the only coffee shop still open and had a good yarn with them.

I'd add to that the period between 2012 and 2019 clubs like Hearts and Aberdeen briefly elevated themselves to a postion of superiority over us(Hearts in the Championship and Aberdeen with a couple of second place finishes over us) and now they've been rightly put back in their places it's absolutely killing them.Thankfully, most posters on here have got the point: every other club and support in Scottish football hates Rangers.
Long gone are the days when we had cordial relationships with fans of Motherwell, Hearts or Killie.
Their bitterness, petty stupidity (they actually wanted their own clubs to suffer, just as long as we were relegated to the bottom tier!) and the poison of nationalism has led us to this point.
It's now just a simple, binary equation. Them vs Us.
There's no pub in Edinburgh I'd worry about as a Rangers fan. There's a few Hibs ones you'd keep yourself to yourself. I think a lot of it is social media although they bizarrely support Hibs v us more often than is normal for a supposed rival.Most Jambo's I ever speak to seem to be more of your mindset rather than the kickbackers tbh.
I'd go for 5 grand purely to see a bag of pound coins getting dumped at the Tannadice main door.We should offer them 10 grand if they don't like it they can get to %^*&

I sure Dundee Utd would be delighted to receive anything from this transfer.I'd go for 5 grand purely to see a bag of pound coins getting dumped at the Tannadice main door.
That's saying something coming from someone called, JocktheRipper lolYou're a proper gentleman mate...
Fcuk them. Give them a load of pennysI'd go for 5 grand purely to see a bag of pound coins getting dumped at the Tannadice main door.
If had signed a contract so they could get a fee, he would be an idiot. We can offer a better wage to him as we don't have the transfer fee on top of it. That is the major benefit of letting your contract run out. Do they genuinely not realise that?Having seen the meltdown from the Hearts fans it's clear they really are a strange little club. Firstly, the fact they think he's a £10m was a strange one. Secondly, having some of them believing him moving to us is a step back somehow. However, the worst part is that they think he's a traitor because he wants to move on to bigger and better - why on Earth wouldn't he? The guy that was having a meltdown on Youtube earlier on' main problem was that he could have signed a contract that would have enabled them to get a fee for him. Erm, how does he know anyone would have bought him? How does he know anyone decent would have made an offer - so he wanted Souttar to risk everything to sign a new contract with Hearts just on the off chance he might earn them some transfer fee. I can kind of get that when you're a good player that has generated a lot of interest. The main interest in Souttar has come from the fact he is on a free - not because a load of teams wanted desperately to sign him.
I think he'll be a good player for us and he'll improve under Rangers I'm sure. He's going to get hell from Hearts fans now though, which is a shame.
Wonderful country for football this - there isn't a single thing Rangers can do that doesn't seem to have the entire of Scottish football going into a meltdown of some sort. It's bonkers.
Kickback has been glorious
I'm torn between wanting Hearts to finish 3rd, not wanting to lose one of our better players, and not wanting to completely **** the team dynamic, which I think has been ripped out of our hands. Fans will not accept Souttar in the team any more, which is ****ing annoying given he's been so good this season, and has popped in a goal or two along the way.
Rangers have been allowed to completely **** our season, how is this not bringing the game into disrepute? Sneakily signing players and announcing it during the middle of a season, in a deliberate move to unsettle the club (which has completely worked), in a completely transparent attempt to weasel a cut price move so they don't have to foot a bill of any significance.
We can't win now. We can't play one of our better players, one we've been saying for months how much we want to keep, because of the deal that's gone on behind our backs and the upset it's going to cause. We either play him, and the fans react negatively, impacting the team, or don't play him, impacting the team, or just let him **** off to Rangers early, impacting the team in the short term and the longer term because we won't get as much money in to replace him.
Souttar is not innocent in all of this, but Rangers have done exactly what they set out to do. How the **** has this situation been allowed to happen?
Cheers mate.
Aye I know a few myself, ‘two cheeks of the same arse’ ‘the ugly sisters’ etc
Most diddy fans hate us because we’re too British. I even know a Hibs twat who hates us because we’re ‘ English ‘.Correct, the biggest fud being that Matt Leslie a hearts fan in the same mould as Jim Spence being a Dundee Utd fan. They hate us because of what we are rather than who we are.
They are mental. Tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth. These spangles actually think this.Most diddy fans hate us because we’re too British. I even know a Hibs twat who hates us because we’re ‘ English ‘.
Scotland really is the land of the Monster Raving Loony Party.

I think they do actually - it's just because it's Rangers they're losing him to that's the problem. If it had been just about anyone else I reckon they'd be full of understanding.If had signed a contract so they could get a fee, he would be an idiot. We can offer a better wage to him as we don't have the transfer fee on top of it. That is the major benefit of letting your contract run out. Do they genuinely not realise that?
Yes, but this is a Bosman to Rangers. Completely different thing of course!Absolutely insane. The Bosman ruling has been in place for what? 25 years? How is he not aware how it works?

Lolz.
I was speaking to a Hearts fan I know today, has a wee bit of ITK via contacts he has.guy I know said that it is a great move for he player and his family and has no badwords for himCheers mate.
Aye I know a few myself, ‘two cheeks of the same arse’ ‘the ugly sisters’ etc
I think it’s a bit of yes and no. Robbie touched on it a while back when he said Soapy wasn’t able to get treatment because of the pandemic. I took that as we furloughed/terminated our own physio and he was forced to go external from the club.I was speaking to a Hearts fan I know today, has a wee bit of ITK via contacts he has.
He was telling me that during the Lockdown Soutter had to find a Physio himself and pay for it out his own pocket
Ant idea if there is any truth in it?
