Absolutely anti Ranger majority,but let it be known there are less papes in Aberdeen,than any
other city in Scotland.
Possibly but still feels like its full of them up there.

You are absolutely right. West coast especially. I remember I went all the way up there to Plockton, in the early 90s, stopping here and there and I was pleased, not shocked or surprised, at the amount of folk who were Rangers fans.Inverness and the highlands in general are majority Rangers if im thinking right?
Definitely. Highlanders are staunch. And aren’t the Inverness True Blues up there as one of the biggest RSCs supporters-wise? In fact I think the biggest anywhere is on one of the islands?Inverness and the highlands in general are majority Rangers if im thinking right?

Chesterfield is protestant and Rangers and my mission when i wake every morning is to make it more so
Isn't the 15% based on the 2011 census too? Expect it to be about 10% come the 2021 census.According to the last census figures only Croy, Coatbridge, Carfin and a couple of other places in Scotland had a catholic majority.
The catholic population in Scotland has dropped from around 17% to 15% in the last 12 years.

Ah the old mentally challenged tuxedo, a garment for all occasions, weddings, funerals, courtThey look prominent in some areas because they've never got their manky rags off their backs.
In my experience Springburn is more Rangers. I'm not from there so might be misinformed but everyone I do know from there are Rangers. I would say most of the south side is, Pollokshields, Shawlands, Cardonald and Penilee. Although of course I could be wrong.

Out in northern north lanarkshire
Cumbernauld, Airdrie, Greengairs, Kilsyth, Glenmavis
All Rangers and strongly so
Croy and Coatbridge
The less said the better
Moodiesburn i dont honestly know, same with Caldercruix
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.
An offence to all those young trainee soldiers, same place my son trainedHarrogate is staunch. We do have a manky wee bastard that can sometimes be seen walking along Knaresborough road on the way to the job centre with his orish top on or his grey and white hooped top. Geez me the heebiejeebies.

People always talk up Croy and Carfin too, but both places are genuinely tiny, especially Croy. If Croy was a part of Cumbernauld (which it will be eventually because Cumbernauld keeps getting bigger) it would be about half the size of Cumbernauld village which is the smallest (and staunchest) of many areas of Cnauld. Only a few hundred people in Croy. Its claim to fame is the train station!
Outside Glasgow it's Larkhall for us and Hamilton for them
Moodiesburn I would say is predominantly more Rangers as the George Soutar Loyal has quite a big following.
Like us (the Protestants) they are also secularising - - albeit a lot more slowly and RC’s are still more likely to tick the religious box as opposed to no religion - however this doesn’t necessarily translate to a drop in support for the filth.
And as others have said you have those idiots who don’t come from an RC background who somehow find it a good idea to support a club who’s fan base in general hates everything about them and their identity due to a misguided belief they are championing the cause of the oppressed underdog.
We are still comfortably ahead of them in Scottish terms and, apart from pockets of depravity in and around Glasgow/Inverclyde/N. Lanarkshire (most of Coatbridge, Royston, Blackhill, Cleland, Gorbals etc), also probably are 60/40 in what you would term as ‘Greater Glasgow’
Once we hit 55 - and beyond hopefully - the outpouring of joy and celebration will hammer home just how many of us there are out
I went to Netherlee School in the 80's - it was 90/10% in favour of Rangers fans with your usual handful of Aberdeen/DU fans at the time. My kid goes there now and its about 50/50 Rangers/Tims in his class.
Without getting too involved with the demographics of the area - Stamperland is quite a bit cheaper than Netherlee and Clarkston for housing so historically you got a lot of tims moving into the area from Glasgow so they got into the catchment area of the schools. Still seeing this now, I got two new neighbours in the last two years across from me and both are frigging tims! One came from the East End one from Govan.
If you go to Overlee park on a sunny day you'll see much more tims strips than Rangers (possibly affected by the boycott I suppose).
Stamperland Church is close to closing too, so you're Presbyterian community has lost it’s grip (I know you could say this about all areas….)
There's also a coach that takes the OLM kids to school - stops at a couple of stops in the area. So there’s no reason for families not to move into the area due to being far away from the nearest Catholic school.
All in all, it’s seen the biggest change compared to it’s neighbours in Clarkston, Netherlee, Mearns. I put that down to the religious demographics/SIMD data of typically poorer catholics wanting to move into a better area but not being able to afford the Clarkston/Netherlee areas.
Would also have to suggest that Glasgow, especially the citys east end and further out to North Lanarkshire are the most pro-celtic areas in Scotland but thats down to their ancestors chosing to move to these parts of the country for work when they first came over and so they haven't really ventured out into other parts of Scotland.
The thought that Rangers is probably the vast majority in every other town outside the East End of Glasgow and certain parts of North Lanarkshire is quite probably true as the Irish catholics never chose to settle anywhere else other than perhaps Edinburgh (as Hibs were formed), Dundee (Dundee Hibernians now Dundee United) and parts of Inverclyde, now most notibly with areas like Greenock and Port Glasgow, but in much lesser numbers.

I'm an admin on a Rangers Facebook page with 30,000 people on it and demographics are 12% aged 18-24, 22% aged 25-34, 18% aged 35-44, 15% aged 45-54 to name a few

@MearnsUnionist Well according to the average Rangers supporter, Hamilton is the 11th most staunch town in Britain statistically so you are proven correct!

Ashgill used to have a higher population per head in the orange order than anywhere in the world at one time and Stonehouse's favourite anthem was 'there's no chapel in our town'.
Probably different now but back when we were boys it was very much that way.
