Lion Rampant / Union Jack day poll

[Dalgety Bear]

In my opinion we should be reclaiming our royal standard. Years gone by we used to see it quite a bit. I’d love an organised lion rampant & Union Jack day at Ibrox. There was a thread on the old board about this and I’m sure it was a very positive response.
I would be happy to get involved if pointed in the right direction of who to approach.

I loved the flag day we had several years ago, when all the supporters clubs/groups marched around the track with their flags and banners at half time. It would be great to see it done every year.

We should invite a member of the Royal Family to attend

edit: I remember the day that Her Majesty used to regularly attend Cup Finals

 

[Sam English]

Don't see any problem with that.

 

[Torque_87]

It would be an incredible sight to see Ibrox full of both flags. It would also wind up the SNP nationalists who have claimed the Lion Rampant and Saltire as their own.

Can you imagine the reception.

 

[Tom1974]

It is illegal to fly the lion rampant with the double edge if there are no members of the royal household present. In fact might be only legal when her majesty is present. So get her invited

 

[Brian Laudrup]

Add the St Andrews flag into the mix too

 

[Stanley Yelnats]

We should do it next Sunday for Armed forces day. Proud to be Scottish, proud to be British.

 

[Crown_Defender]

Definitely.

I love the displays the UB do but some of the flag days in the past have been superb.

The Lion Rampant making a return alongside the UF is a cracking idea. The Tartan Trannies utterly despise that flag.

I would rather see a Saltire flag day, complete with a pre match card display. We should do everything we can to reclaim the Saltire from the bigoted headbangers.

 

[cambie gers]

The Natzis have hijacked the Saltire, it's about time we claimed it back.

Right Moody Blue, get this sorted

The saltire is very much the centre piece of the union flag when you fly the union flag you fly the saltire I would like very much to have the flag of Northern Ireland flying along with the union flag now that would really wind up the snp dicks in our support and further afield

Red hand,union flag,lion rampant,saltire and St. George’s Cross that would be a mind %^*& for the yesers...

That’s an interesting read mate. Wonder if we have ever had any other royal visits?

For all the Nats have stolen both the saltire and the lion rampant, you do still see the saltire about a fair bit at Ibrox, but haven't seen a lion rampant for years. The Lion and the Jack day would be a great idea.

 

[High Society]

Add the St Andrews flag into the mix too

Correct don’t let anyone claim it as Anti British

 

[yosser hughes]

by all means go for it,, we as a club also have lion rampant"s at both ends of ends of our magnificent main stand and on one of our club crests

 

[Bearwood Bear]

We should reclaim the saltire too, as decent English fans did when they refused to let far right knuckledraggers appropriate the national flag.

We are Scottish and British, that's our unique identity, and we should remember that most Scots are unionists and have been for three centuries.

 

[Helicopter Sunday]

Excellent idea.

Totally agree. Looks like there is a appetite for something like this. Possibly a “Scotland is British day”
Saltires, Lion Rampants and Union Jacks in every stand. A sight to behold

 

[Velvet Underground]

This. Would love a day of just the saltires flying. Would confuse the fu*k out the nat throbbers.

 

[Boldvale]

Add the St Andrews flag into the mix too

Correct. It's as much my flag as any natzi's.

 

[Dalgety Bear]

Watching the game last night gave me the idea to bump this thread. Wether you support Scotland or not, I am proud of my British and Scottish roots.

A few years ago on another forum I posted loads of Youtube videos of Scotland fans in London in the 70's and 80's.

In the videos the thing that was quite different to now a days is the amount of yellow Lion Rampant Flags/T-shirts and the amount of red tartan hats and scarfs in the Scotland support. It actually brought back images of Scotland fans (I'm from NI originally ) that I'd long forgotten about.

I'm always drawn to the red and yellow combo, lots of childhood TV imagery is dominated by Red/Yellow SuperTed, Chocabloc, ...but that's maybe for another thread and my psychiatrist.

Anyway, a lot of these videos were quite lively and I often wondered if someone in the Nationalist movement had them removed for PR purposes as they've disappeared completely.

 

[Deleted member 3807]

I only feel pride and patriotism looking at the Union flag these days. Saltires, or lion rampants are off putting to me. They are too tainted by Scottish nationalism.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

This thread would be so much better if folk learned how to post photos.

Back in the day when the majority of the Scotland support were Rangers fans. Seeing the scenes yesterday it has flipped. I would love nothing more than Rangers fans to reclaim at least a sizable part of the Scottish support, if for nothing else than to make fannies like the one that attacked Abdul to think twice about it.

Aye there were lots on the original thread but Tiny Pic are no more.

F*cking Hell, I've only just realised how old the thread was.

 

[BroomloanWATP]

Saltire/Royal Standard day at Ibrox would be brilliant. We're the Kings of Scotland and should be reclaiming our flags instead of letting the SNP filth steal them from us.

 

[Mermaid]

Always have a wee laugh when I see the yessers parading about the streets with the Lion Rampant. They don't have clue what that flag is.
God bless the Queen.

 

[Bobans27]

Union Flag and Saltire, one is literally part of the other…

All for it!

 

[Blippi]

That’s allowing them to hijack and take the saltire . It isn’t theirs to take .

 

[The Huguenot]

William and Kate as royal guests would be brilliant.

 

[BrotherMoses]

I love the lion rampant. We really need to reclaim the flag. The Saltire is used as some form of nationalism these days - get that to %^*&. It's well past time we had a Saltire day at Ibrox.

The Lion rampant is the Royal Standard of Scotland.
Yesser that stays across from my mother-in-law currently has one flying on the flagpole in his garden. Feel like knocking on his door and asking if the Queen is in

It's just the way I feel about it now. When I see Union flags adorned throughout the Rangers support I feel pride in being British. I love our club's strong association with Britishness. It's become more meaningful to me over the years, particularly recent years.
Scottish flags may not be theirs to take. I agree with you. However, I feel nothing seeing them. Everything about nationalist Scotland repels me. Particularly the people who lead it. How anyone votes for a lot of these reptiles disgusts me. To me being British counteracts their influence. It's the only thing left keeping them in check, and holding them to account. I don't want to be associated with Scottish nationalism is any form. Even if it means rejecting Scottish symbols they hijacked.
When it comes to nationality the one I feel I belong to is British. Just British.

That Yesser will probably tell you it belongs to the Royal Scots line, and the British monarchy have no right to it.
I do take context into account. The lion rampant flying above Royal residences in Scotland, I'm down with that. That's meaningful to me.

We are still the majority of the Scotland support.

But, but, but . . . don't you understand you'ld be offending some folk who have never been to Ibrox, and we couldn't have that, could we?
