So controversial thread coming up, I am a member of the SNP and lifelong Rangers fan. I am not heavily involved in the SNP but would probably like to do so in the future when I return to Scotland full time (I work offshore in Africa 6 months a year) , if not only to sort out some of the pro republican agenda that seems to becoming the norm and which pi55e5 me right off. Rangers historically have always been the team of Scotland but overachingly british as I have read in the past.;
The club, like the nation, had a comfortable dual identity as both Scottish and British. At its most famous game, the 1972 European Cup Winners’ Cup victory over FC Dynamo Moscow, fans sporting kilts and Robert Burns T-shirts waved the Union Jack alongside the Lion Rampant, Scotland’s royal flag. “There was then an unquestioning acceptance of a strong Scotland within an overarching Britishness,” says Graham Walker, a renowned historian of politics in Scotland and Northern Ireland as well as a life-long Rangers fan.
The site of rangers fans, born and bred in Scotland, wearing England top's is sight that breaks my heart, we live in the greatest country in the world and should be proud to be Scottish. As or working class Scot's voting Tory just because they are unionist is a joke, they are single handedly destroying the country we live in, wake up smell the coffee, get involved and try and make some positive changes. - cue backlash
The snp are having a bloody good attempt at destroying Scotland . Fcuked up police Scotland , nhs Scotland , education barely gets a mention , £13 billion deficit , no currency plans or central bank . As for brexit , at least the tories are honouring the way the vote went ....
As for Rangers , your party is a disgrace .
Michael Matheson - wanted Rangers fans only jailed for doing the Hokey Cokey
Brendan Ohara - spent years calling us huns and orange bastards
Chris mceleny - when he’s not quoting lyrics to provo songs , he’s calling us a new club
James dornan - openly despises us , makes up stories about emails to assault Roman Catholics and is advisor to nil by mouth , also pals with Phil 3 names
Humza yousef - when he’s not on twitter slagging us , praising Celtic and goading bears , he’s now heading up an anti catholic bigotry task force
Allan Casey - appointed an snp aide despite his love of the ira well documented
Chris Cullen - NI Catholic who likes to think of himself as the “ra on tour”
Hope over fear rally - many participants clapping and cheering a republican flute band as it passed George square
Snp hierarchy - drinking in a pro Celtic and inla pub
John mason - praising the ira when they shot dead 3 Scottish soldiers and feels catholic’s are hard done to by Protestants
Stewart McDonald - thinks the loving cup ceremony is a joke and praises “Brendan and the bhoys” while denying rangers a fan zone
I could also throw in the snp people investigated and or suspended for mortgage fraud , theft x 3 , embezzlement , sexual misconduct of at least 4 senior snp politicians .
I know not of any unionist Rangers fan who isn’t proud to be Scottish , it’s the continued behaviour of your party and it’s members that are an embarrassment .
As my proud Protestant , unionist , proud to be Scottish granny would say “those with dirty hands shouldn’t point fingers “
