One of my favourite pub moments was when a Jock in a Rangers shirt walked over to our table singing anti catholic songs. Many of my friends are catholic well before they could react a Big Glasgow Jock grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and told him to take his Sectarian bigotry back to Scotland, boot up arse and he left the pub Western style (flat on his face).
i have always maintained that it is the job of the irish catholic community to repress the most hardcore 'RA supporting elements, in their midst. Ditto with mainstream Unionist types - as per your buddy above. and i guess today, we can extend the same responsibility to any religious, political or ethnic enclave. The centre can only hold while the nutters on the extremes do not get to hijack the gig.

I think k it might have been a Rangers fan who pulled Gazza up for playing the flute after scoring his first goal in Scotland. A serious threat from what I remember.

Take it from me guys, we don't want to be associated with The Rangers in any shape or form. They are a bigoted, toxic, blight on football. I live in Edinburgh and can confirm that their support is full of neanderthal bottom feeders. Keep well clear. Strange a lot say exactly the same things about Celtic as well.

When others bought Celtic into the equation I made it clear that both clubs promote shameful behaviour. Two cheeks of the same arse! Anyway COYP! Edited by gloryhunter (24 Dec 2023 9.28am)

I read a book on the old firm a few years ago and it was really interesting, a lot of Rangers fans don’t consider themselves as Scottish, they like to think of themselves as British Glaswegian. Also which I found strange is a lot of them feel that strongly about it they actually follow the England national team rather than Scotland. I’ve always wanted to do an old firm game, A Rangers fan living in the south I once knew told me if ever I got to do it, make sure with my English accent I’d definitely be safer in the Rangers end.

Some years ago I went to work in Edinburgh and was introduced to two colleagues next to my desk, one a Hearts supporter and the other Hibs. One asked me who I supported and when I replied ‘Palace’ he retorted “Ah..but is that Celtic Palace or Rangers Palace?”. A sad indictment of Scottish Football.!

I remember some idiot tried to hang a Rangers - Palace flag in the stand away at Arsenal a couple of years back. It was promptly torn down and rightly so. I don't like Rangers and wouldn't want us associated with them in any way. I'd equally respect the same sentiment in relation to a Palace - Celtic flag, despite being bought up in an irish catholic family. I like to think we are an inclusive fan base and we don't need any of that.

I don't know who owns the Palace Loyal flag but I've seen it at a number of away games over the years. No one has ever 'torn it down'. For the record there is absolutely no comparison between Celtic and Rangers if you are English (Palace are an English club). You can easily go to Rangers with Palace colours/flag but you wouldn't get the same at Celtic. They hate the English, always have and always will. It seems strange that people get offended when English people like Rangers but never question when the Irish follow Celtic en masse. Or Liverpool (the English Celtic). Sectarian b*ll*cks is outdated and pathetic but for any Rangers fan not bringing that rubbish, I'd gladly welcome them to Palace. Celtic and their anti-English hate will never be welcome.

Edited by PalazioVecchio (17 Apr 2024 8.51pm) I stand by the content of my original post because all of the points I made are the result of living in Scotland for over 40 years and having exposure and immersion in all of the aspects mentioned. Most of the posts trying to make contradictory points do not have this background. I originally responded to a post soley concerning Rangers and Palace. I made further posts which included Celtic and Rangers being two cheeks of the same arse and would have made a similar original first post if the original Edited by gloryhunter (18 Apr 2024 11.50am)
