    From the Battlefield, Shawlands area in the southside and it's definitely more huns than Tims. Probably about 80-20 IMO but just down the road in Govanhill there is more Tims I reckon.

    It is a very odd place - I dont even think it makes sense to refer to Fife as one place. It is a collection of places ranging from extremely wealthy parts, to very poor parts. But the Rangers parts are pretty awful!

    (then the Celtic parts are pretty awful as well :smiley-laughing002:)

    Up north where I'm from the ratio is probably 2/1 in favour of them. It's all good though!

    I'd say that 'they' edge it tbh but I can only give it from a southside perspective and there is defo more huns.

    University I would say leans more towards Celtic since it´s quite an international place. People from all over the world go there to study and are more appealed by Celtic and what it stands for e.g. club for all etc. (I am one them).

    I actually bought 2 kits after the Old Firm like 3 years ago (which was a tie - Samaras missing the penalty) and decided to stroll through town with the green bag and have breakfast with some friends of mine. Had a bit of a situation with two people passing me in the street. I assume they were Rangers fans since they did not like the bag and acted like proper * overall. After this was resolved I was then told by a friend to not proceed any further with the bag out but rather kept it in another bag. That´s the overall feeling I had of Stirling town - Rangers place for sure imo.

    Yeah, it's quite a bit away from me thankfully (or you might mean Irvine between Ayr and Glasgow, maybe - both shitholes in any case). I've never been anywhere in North or East Ayrshire that isn't a shithole. Everything's grey and it's always * dreich. :smiley-laughing002: Ayr itself and Prestwick & Troon are nice places, and thankfully they're not full of Huns.

    Bought my anniversary top in there on the day it came out. There were a few folk in it then but I wouldn't say I've seen many people in there at any other time.

    I haven't really been in town with my Celtic top on or anything apart from a couple of occasions, getting the train down to game, so I've never really had any bother. You never get any hassle on campus for the reasons you mentioned. :50:

    Me and Kenny were talking about this the other night actually, I would have said Greenock was about 50/50, but he thinks there is more of us.

    One things for certain, you get arseholes in both sets down here. But when we win it's generally a celebration (see the Black Cat Artur Boruc video posted in the first few pages, and also the choruses of JCGE after we beat the Huns 3-0 outside the local nightclub) whereas with them even a win is likely to end with riots :smiley-laughing002:

    Yeah on campus your safe :50: In town I never felt unsafe either it´s just the usual banter when you meet them. The occasion I talked about before wasnt too sketchy either. On derby days it was the usual no team colors if you want to get in and regulars only kind of thing but I assumed there were more blue ones around then Celtic supporters.

    In the Shetland Islands the two most supported teams are Celtic and Sevco with Aberdeen in 3rd place. There's probably slightly more Sevconians than Tims.

    Me too, would say it was the most Celtic part of the country.

    East-End is bit of both.
