You seem awfy keen to defend Rangers supporters. I'm a Weegie and I think they are 99% vermin (and so are their East End business partners). So your sucking up to them seems suspicious.

Good for you. I couldn't give a shit what you think.

 

PS. No Glaswegian calls themselves a Weegie. But well done on ingratiating yourself on here.

I am assured that there is a thread on Follow, Follow accusing the SNP of leaving the memorial benches in George Square deliberately so that innocent Huns would be blamed if they accidentally damaged them.

 

These scenes raise all kinds of questions about how these people ended up like this - how many times do you celebrate a single league win by trashing public amenities? Have they ever undergone any kind of education at all, for example? - but from a footballing perspective rather than a sociological one; Aberdeen and Hearts and Hibs etc have to stop aiming to come third, regarding third as an achievement and accepting the continued hegemony of two clubs that are a blight on Scottish society and culture. If the SFA and SPFL are wedged up the Old Squirm fundament and give them every advantage, overlook their outrages (like yesterday's) or just give a token fine, then the bigger clubs have to take it into their own hands. It must be possible to start beating them on the pitch. Don't accept third best. Do a Jim McLean or a Ferguson and start beating them. Change Scottish football in the best place to do it - on the pitch.

Great post. We would need a manager that hates them though not what we have just now. 
The club can do so much more too, if we are rightly not allowed to sing sectarian songs or stand then stop them doing it too.

I don't know about justifying the actions of some rangers supporters but definitely pointing out that not all Rangers supporters are scum. In much the same way that there are some dregs amongst our own support but don't start calling all Hearts supporters as scum etc.

The majority sing songs from a bygone era, it’s 2021 ffs. The decent ones are definitely in the minority.

Newcastle v Rangers 1969

 

 

More than 12,000 Geordies were among a 70,000 crowd at Ibrox to see gritty United grind out a 0-0 draw in the away leg.

A week later a near 60,000 all-ticket crowd at St James’ saw United roar to a 2-0 lead.


The second goal in the 77th minute was the cue for hordes of drunken Rangers fans to stream out of the Gallowgate End and on to the pitch.

Bottle and cans flew through the air as supporters battled with police.

It took nearly 20 minutes for police to restore order.

A police spokesman said: “If we’d had enough men, we’d have arrested the 2,000 fans who were on the park.”

In the event 89 people were injured and 30 were arrested.

United’s victory booked them a place in the final, but the following day’s media concentrated on the ‘night of shame’.

The Chronicle reported: “Policemen stood shoulder-to-shoulder behind the goal, defiantly gazing at the hordes of human animals they had just driven off the St James’ Park pitch.

“For 17 minutes, the Battle of Gallowgate raged. This was the night soccer wept for the name of Glasgow Rangers.”

We continued: “Glasgow Rangers directors, shocked, shattered and embarrassed by last night’s riots in Newcastle, labelled the offenders lunatics.”

It was reported that a glass and litter-strewn Newcastle city centre was counting the cost of a massive clean-up as “shops, public houses, and even some private homes took the brunt of the damage after the game”.

Meanwhile, police praised United fans “who refused to be drawn into the fray.”

Looking back, the events of May 21, 1969, could be viewed as the start of a dark age for football, and the game would be plagued throughout the 1970s and 1980s by hooliganism.

One of the young team quite often turns up at mine when hes on the sesh on buckfast or md , im sure my neighbours think im an alky as my bottle bin is just peroni/corona , coffee jars , buckfast and md. 
Md had a pineapple limited edition out , possibly trying to hit up that hipster culture. 
 

Not sure they ever will and indeed they did , still they can FO though 😉

 

Maybe they’ve photoshopped out the chib for an md bottle. I was more thinking its maybe photoshopped as its not empty...😇

Oh I’ve been in the company of the “ young team “ a few teams , my friend  younger brothers are “ heavily “ involved in that scene . Interesting from a sociological perspective when in their company like visiting a zoo really 😂 the volume , bigotry ( usually concealed before the hard stuff hits them ) and singing usually gets too much for me eventually and make my departure .  It’s just surprising to me that some young people are so intolerant of others ! Those people in George Square were like something from the 1970s . Hard to believe people like them exist . Brilliant videos though ! It made “ train spotting “ seem like” Brideshead revisited “

I remember watching a Motherwell Rangers game on Sportscene in the late 70s when Motherwell also went 2-0 up, the knuckle dragging hordes invaded the pitch, presumably trying to get the game abandoned.

Rangers went on to win when it eventually restarted so all good for Ra People.

I go back to the 76 final - my first Hearts / Rangers match and they were throwing bottles and creating carnage then.

 

Look at the abandoned match in 15 when they set about the Hearts fans and buses

 

Speak to some older Newcastle fans about Rangers and they always bring up the trouble in the Fairs Cup semi final in 1969 when the game had to be stopped

 

Safe to say they are known for it

I was just a young lad at the 76 final and the bottles were flying everywhere in the Celtic end. 

 

So much blood about with cut heads etc. It was pretty scary stuff and my dad wanted to leave at half time. 

 

Persuaded him to stay until Shuggie Shaw scored our consolation goal.

I’m understandably inundated with messages about y’day’s disgraceful scenes in Glasgow. Police still have a job to do, which restrains my comments to some extent - but to say I’m utterly disgusted by the Rangers fans who rampaged through the city would be an understatement...

I’m also angry on behalf of every law abiding citizen. In normal times, the violence & vandalism, & the vile anti Catholic prejudice that was on display, would have been utterly unacceptable. But mid-pandemic, in a city with cases on the rise, it was also selfish beyond belief

People across the country still living under the most difficult restrictions - not able to see family or attend weddings and funerals - are rightly furious at the irresponsible actions of a thuggish minority who seem to care little for the risks they pose to other people

Understandably people ask questions about if/how government and police can do more to prevent/tackle scenes like these, and there is a need to reflect. That said, @policescotland officers have my admiration & thanks for the job they did in difficult and dangerous circumstances

I hope @RangersFC will also reflect on what more must be done to tackle this behaviour by fans, albeit a minority. However, ultimate responsibility lies with those who behaved in such a thuggish, sectarian and selfish manner. And that’s why we must let the police do their job.

More PC to call them baton rounds now.  Not sure why, maybe because single use rubber bullets are bad for dolphins.  Though any material bouncing of the skull of one of those filthy  inreeds should be treated as toxic waste.
