Bazzas right boot Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Just heard on the radio, Rangers have employed an all inclusivity / community type guy. He Said on the Radio that Rangers are an all inclusive club and embrace all communities.... they need to celebrate being from Glasgow..... Is it a wind up? It's like the Klu Klux Klan saying they embrace applicants from all ethnic back grounds? Anyone else hear it, he sounded like he had just stumbled out the Lodge as well, never caught his name. On Forth news earlier. Is this in preparation for the dire report on bigotry that in incoming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homme Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Glasgow can be pretty diverse. No harm in trying to tap into the market and get some new fans. Clubs should be always trying to better their image. Those who have been around long enough, ie Scottish football fans know what that support are really like mind you. Celtic have played the good guys card for too long in that City, and with their current / upcoming issues it's a good time for Rangers to try and turn the tide.

Beast Boy Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Let’s be honest here, it works for Celtic and they have amongst the scummiest dregs on the planet scuttling after them in their thousands. They pull this masquerade off whilst singing songs glorifying children being torn apart by nail-bombs ffs. No reason why Rangers can’t convince the world that they are not vermin too. It’ll take a while, but if they keep at it, they’ll get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Boy Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I despise the sizeable arsehole elements to Rangers and Celtic's supports but there are also plenty who just support them because they are from Glasgow and that is their local team. Both of them used the sectarian thing to grow in size. We should probably welcome any steps to diminish it, because over a long enough time-line, that is the only way other clubs will have the potential to close the gap in terms of income and support-base.

Chipping away at it is commendable though. The bigger issue is these aren’t 90 minute bigots it’s part of the fabric of Glasgow and the surrounding areas. While many Hearts fans of a certain age grew up with Hearts being part of this problem most (I’d hope) have moved on and what we have is a small minority who try and carry that on, I’ll bet though in most cases it doesn’t effect their day to day life and they don’t really understand or believe in that pish and most will grow out of it. That just isn’t the case for the very large majority of old firm fans particularly those from or associated with the west. Sadly we are at least 2 generations away from this ending IMO.
