Have the Huns always been RULE BRITANIA and all that toss?

[Fionn MacCool]

Just wondering, maybe an older person could help us here.

I remember reading that the first Old Firm game was a friendly affair, but obviously as the years went by the rivalry grew more fierce. What I want to know is, before Celtic FC was founded, and even in the early years of the club, were Rangers still massively pro-Britain or was this just an antagonising reaction to Celtic's Irish identity?

wats the deal with the hun threads today

[bhoy overseas]

first game for me was in 1968 lifted over the turnstilles by my da, like most young celtic supporters of that time.
they were actually worse then as i remember growing up as a bhoy in glasgow, believe it or not there support has got a bit better since them days (says this in a gentle whisper) they are scum always were and always will be FACT !!!!

[topbhoy1967]

read "willie maley, the man who made celtic" - some really interesting storys about rangers in that book.

I think they have got worse over the years.

They were named after an English rugby club, that being their only tie with 'Britain' they decided to cling onto it as they have no actual reason for being in existence.

So did they always wave union jacks and all that before 1888?

My Dad says that Rangers fans haven't always been into all the Unionist malarky, but it started when people from the shipyards adopted Rangers as their team.

The funny thing is, we now have an SNP government in Scotland, for them to get enough votes to be in power Rangers fans would have had to vote for them. So they are voting for Scotland to be independant yet they always sign the England national anthem and have the Union Jack with them. Talk about confused FFS lol.
