I dislike many teams but most of all the rangers, just the sense of entitlement form their fans winds me up! Would much rather beat them every Saturday than Celtic..... Hibs goes without being said, different game different rivalry, different city! :qqb006:

Of course they are, and for good reason.

 

You couldn't invent Rangers today. The notion of a club with the 'traditions' and world view of them being acceptable would be laughed out of town.

 

Celtic are a bunch of slags too, but the difference is that there's actually a reasonable number of Celtic fans who don't subscribe the the nasty stuff some of them get involved with. For example, how often do you get widespread sectarian singing at Celtic Park? Basically never in the modern era. At Ibrox it is commonplace as their support is basically rammed full of bigots and socially undesirable types.

 

You also get protestant Celtic supporters. I know quite a few. It's not all that uncommon in the west. Rangers are a much more exclusive bunch. They are basically a club that exists to hate things. Anything that is not like them.

 

Celtic make any right minded person sick with their hysterical myth-building and paranoia, but as a club they don't have the same kind of top to bottom nastiness of Rangers. Hibs don't even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath. Rangers are far and away the worst thing about Scottish football.

Can't bring myself to hate one more than the other. They are both equally disgusting excuses for football clubs.

Reaction I've seen today on social media appears to say so! Thoughts?

Probably a tie with another West coast 11.

Nope. Dislike celtic far more

 

The question isn't who you hate most, it's whether Rangers are the most hated. Not the same thing.

 

It's become quite clear that they are.

Have to agree all the rangers supporters I know down here are murder.

Whereas a number of the Celtic ones are pretty reasonable.

It has to be Rangers or Celtic obviously. Simply because both of them have the entire support from the other hating them. The rest of the fans of Scottish teams will either:

 

1) Hate Rangers and Celtic equally

2) Hate Rangers and their own rivals equally

3) Hate Celtic and their own rivals equally

 

As our support is next biggest, a true picture of who we hate most would go some way to answering the question. Traditionally it would be Celtic, but that has changed for a lot of people since the truth of what Rangers were doing all these years in secret came out. For many Hearts fans the answer is now 1 or 2. Aberdeen are next biggest and their support you would naturally expect to be answer 2. Next is Hibs and they are definitely 2, some 1s but overwhelmingly 2s from my observations. Most other teams in Scotland probably hate both as much as the other with a few notable exceptions, where parts of the country have a big team and wee team philosophy. Lots of Huns in Ayr for example.

 

I reckon it's probably quite close, but I'd imagine the Huns are the most hated overal, nowadays.

I think they are. Theyre not called the Orcs for nothing.

A good few of their fans that I have met over the years have been reasonable decent lads however; the clear majority that I have met have been uneducated, bigoted, socially undesirable mutants that you wouldnt want to share air with. Stranger still are the ones who seem decent & normal (full time job, house & car, family etc) until you mention football & then they start going on about fenion bead rattlers etc. Complete welts to a man.

 

Yes. Hated!

 

Edit: Then theres the "queens 22" brigade (a few on here) who think Hearts have the same 'values' as them. Morons!!!

They are without doubt. Blaming everyone else for them dying, the arrogance of the demoted talk when they were lucky to be reinstated, the watp pish, the smug look when we went into admin and them trying to claim them dying caused it, vile club built on hatred. No one likes them and they care

Without a doubt and rightly so.

 

Showed no dignity when they were deservedly liquidated. Blamed everyone else and took no responsibility.

 

Have returned with the attitude that the game owes them and that despite having a shite squad, they ought to be battering everyone.

 

Won't be long until Warburton is sacked.

Without doubt and they're head and shoulders above every other club in this respect. Personally I can't abide them and think they and their placemen are a stain on society.

No they are slightly behind Celtic for me.

odious as sevco are, the fans have not:

 

1.Assaulted catering stag at tynecastle

2.Forced the kids half time match to be moved

3.Annually disrespect the men who have their lives so they could voice their shit opinions.

4.Smeared shit (their own human shit) on the walls mocking the death of innocent people

 

All of this whilst they and the media claim they are the greatest fans on earth.. I'm pretty sure the Stranraer fans aren't fans either given they we having bags of human excrement hurled at them.. I've not even talked about the Palestine stuff..

 

Sevco are a clear second..

Cheated their way to nine league titles.

Stole ?130million off the state whilst doing so.

Trying to kid on they didn't go bust and are a new football club.

Fans who are subhuman bigoted arseholes.

STILL media darlings in this tin pot wee nation.

 

Hate them

I don't want to sound pedantic but it's more the club than the team but I'm guessing that's what you're getting at anyway. I only make the distinction because I think it's important to note that the whole club is poisonous from the roots up and at every single level from board to supporter and everything in between. The players are probably the least toxic thing about them but even then they seem to attract some pretty terrible human beings with an appropriately appalling Rangers mindset.

 

They're a truly horrible institution with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Founded on hate and sustained by hate too. Specialists in scummy behaviour, bigotry, violence and completely incapable of ever acknowledging their own faults or of acting with any sort of dignity. They refuse to accept blame for anything they do and even worse, either try to point the finger elsewhere or simply shrug it off with some sort of ridiculous defence involving WATP or misplaced superiority and comfort themselves in the belief they deserve special treatment because "Establishment club". Depressingly, they often actually get and benefit from that special treatment too. The lack of self-awareness is breathtaking. Awful, odious club supported by awful odious (and often seriously thick) people. There's few things more repulsive than stupid and bigoted people with a misplaced sense of invincibility and self-importance.

 

Breathe.

 

I don't like Rangers very much.

You have missed the point.

The question was about Scotland as a whole

not just Hearts fans.

The thing about the OF is that all non Rangers fans dislike the Rangers the most and all non Celtic fans dislike them as well. As there are more Celtic fans these days probably swings it in favour of Rangers being the most disliked.imo

I find that with nearly every football fan I meet. They are either egotistical morons (old firm), bitter losers (hibs), or just have a general dislike of Hearts (everyone else).

I generally don't hate opposition fans just because they support another team from me but sevco fans are the most arrogant, repulsive fans I've ever came across

 I know plenty decent Rangers fans.

 

Well, one or two !

 

Outrageously, I know a couple of decent celtic fans.

 

I also know plenty of Hearts fans who are utter trumpets as well.

Its not the club so much as the fans.

Its the driving to work past the flags out people's houses

I've been in many towns and into many houses, and have yet to be in a house with Irish tricolor waving outside and pro IRA stuff inside

Yet have been in thousands with Ulster flags, UVF banners, UDA posters, King Billy calenders, Union Jacks on flag poles attached to the houses

The Rangers fans appear PROUD of their stupidity and bigotry.

 

don't get me wrong, Celtic have some total throbbers too, but they appear to be pretty much isolated to small pockets in Glasgow

The rangers idiots are all over the shop

I agree with this and it's the failure to take any responsibility for what they did that I think makes them the most hated.

 

I very strongly suspect that Celtic would have behaved in exactly the same way if they found themselves in the same boat, but since they didn't Rangers edge it for now.

Whatever fight is going on in the world these arseholes take sides.

The Israel/Palestine thing is utterly cringeworthy.

 

Celtic fans think their brand of bigotry is political while Rangers fans are just scum.

For me they are as bad as each other but as Celtic see themselves as the good guys it makes then marginally worse.

If they aren't Hearts I dislike them, my dislike for the OF and Hibs however is far more than any other team, never used to be the case I used to dislike the OF way more then the vermin, however their deliberate attempt to sabotage our CVA and support they had for us going down the tubes surpassed any friendly rivalry. I'd go as far to say I might even dislike the vermin more now. The OF are the OF in my lifetime it has never changed and it was the same in my fathers lifetime and it will be the same in my childrens lifetime. The only way to stop the OF dominance is not to match them pound for pound but complete change in Scottish football and complete overhaul at the SFA and SPFL, get rid of the yes men and OF arse crawlers and Scottish football might stand a chance.

There is only one team who garner hate and tht is sevco, i dont see fans handing out fliers t get an organised dig at any other team, every teams fans sing about them not being rangers anymore, every teams fans know what rangers did to scottish football since the arrival of souness, all funded on the back of bigotry

 

Celtic are odious scum, sevco are too, but the ops question is who is most hated

 

Sevco take the honour easily, no one likes them........only nowadays they DO care

Vast majority of my mates & family are either Hearts or Rangers fans & are all good people & I no problem with Rangers but Celtic are by far the the worst club & fans in the world.

This for me. Both are despicable, but i truly despise those IRA supporting scum. Booing the minutes silence on Remembrance Sunday, celebrating British servicemen/women getting killed, they make my blood boil.

2.Forced the kids half time match to be moved
