Is there more Celtic or Rangers fans in Glasgow?

me and my mate(both irish) were at the celtic match during the week, we had no colours on and were sitting at a bar on sauchiehall street at 2pm(Nicos i think was the name) when a man decided to start chatting to us.when he recognised our accents he realised we were irish and he first brought up father ted with which we all had a laugh, then he proceeded to mention irish people who were protestant(at this point I felt quiet nervous) the guiness family/graham norton/and someone else i cant think off, he then went on to tell us how every 5 in 1 scottish person is protestant and how scotland is a protestant country, all of which i could not give a flying fiddlers about.He then proceeded to mention how the euro was * as were all the countries who had it as there currency,somewhere in between all off that he mentioned he was a rangers supporter, Anyways we finished our pint and left the bar.upon leaving he mentioned how he hoped we would get stuffed tonight by helsingborg and he would be shouting for them....alot of lip biteing was required.... after the game we walked round town with our colours on and had no problem at all..so i suppose you will always get an * no matter where you go, just to note On a previous occasion I visited parkhead at pre season and about 10 yards after the stadium heading west i met two lads wearing rangers jerseys and they didnt seem to bothered either....

 

Suppose It must be around even. Depends on the area really , even outside the city in the surrounding areas it depends where you are . It's very hard to put and exact number on it, but we do have a higher average turnout.

 

Sorry you bumped into that * pal, they are everywhere people like that, if I meet a hun I dont go out of my way too antognise him with obvious jibes unless hhe starts it with me, but Ive been on the end of the usual bile from complete strangers who knew I was a tim, peadohile, Big Jock Knew *, not saying they are all like that but they are a bitter lot with very tunnel vision on how they see the world, very narrow perspectives and incredibly in the year 2012 see catholicism as being the worlds number one enemy... only a life of brainwashing and poor education could lead them to this laughable conclusion, frankly I pity the scum and their sad little lives

 

There are too many huns anywhere ye go.

I live in Wishaw and here there are loads of orange halls and pubs draping union flags all up and down the street. The Queen's jubilee was a * cause even the local supermarkets were at it!

 

Glasgow - Celtic
Scotland - Sevco
Worldwide - Celtic

 

Who cares.

We’ve traditionally been better supported, even in Scotland.

We also draw in a considerable amount of Protestants, so religious demographics aren’t a good way of measuring support. On the other hand, Rangers’ Catholic support is non-existent, unsurprisingly.

Sorry to burst the whole "we don't attack people like the huns do" theory, but the Hibby who got attacked on London Road after the game yesterday might disagree. His face was in a right mess.

Any proof?

 

One fan getting in a fight at the weekend is now comparable to loads of rampaging Huns going to Manchester and causing absolute mayhem... right ye are.

 

No I didn't because I never heard anything about it, but if that happened then of course that's disgusting.

I'm not taking the moral highground and claiming our support is bawbag free (it really isn't) but just because people from other countries are asking about the Celtic support doesn't mean folk here should lie about it.

 

Well no I didn't stop the guy and ask for a photo, although the chances are someone reading this will have seen the guy covered in blood.

Lol wut? Who said that like?

 

Well, it seems as though you were going down the road to comparing us to the vermin.

Eh?

 

Well for all I know you could be on here talking *.

 

All teams have their share of arseholes supporting them, I don't think anyone on here is denying it. Some of our supporters are bawbags, everyone accepts that and the vast majority of our support condemn that sort of behaviour. What people are arguing is that the Celtic support has far fewer bawbags than most other support, as illustrated by our FIFA an UEFA awards and generally good conduct, particularly away in Europe where we're well received by any city we travel to, unlike the recently deceased other club who occasionally represented Scotland in Europe.

Again, I'm not comparing a guy getting smashed to the huns in Manchester, and as Rude Bhoy says every support has twats.

The only reason I mentioned it was because there was loads of posts saying how Celtic fans are whiter than white, which isn't always the case.
