Scottish football

Im reading a Rangers book at the moment.It was published before they went into meltdown.But the author is of the opinion that Rangers have always been treated differently to Celtic.That Celtic can get away with things while Rangers get hung out to dry for everything and anything.Rangers were not founded as a sectarian institution.They were founded by 4 young lads who wanted to start up a football team.Rangers were founded for the need for fun and recreation.Rangers actually did have a player who was catholic whose parents were from southern Ireland.This was in the pre world war 1 era though.Rangers were the first club in Glasgow.They only assumed a protestant/unionist identity in response to Celtics catholic/republican identity.In other words what im trying to say is that circumstances dictated the identity that Rangers would later assume.But they were a club that was founded purely for footballing reasons.

Morton 1 v 1 Dumbarton

Never really turned up for the first half and deservedly went in 0-1 at the break. Whatever Jim Duffy said at half time clearly worked as we were the dominant team second half and when Bob McHugh scored, it seemed like we would go on to win the game. However, a couple of good saves from their keeper and misfiring on a couple of occasions meant that we would only take a point from the game.

Ton, is there any chance of a full match report on this game to save this thread from getting completely clogged up with paranoid sectarian propaganda from one side of the old firm.

LOL!

The Old Firm - experts in giving and taking offence in equal measure.

Hibs and Hearts are no slouches in the hatred stakes but no match for the Toxic Two.

Thought that stoppage time would never end

At least Hibs can win a Derby, take note Everton

Hibs should have won 3-0. And that lad should have gone off at the end for his hack on McGinn. Good stuff though.

Hibs look decent under Lennon

Probs going to be 4th-6th when all's said and done

Hope Aberdeen beat Celtic tomorrow

We could do with there being an actual title race in Scotland this season

Maybe even better once injured defenders have recovered. I dunno but I don't rate Hanlon that highly.

But what a transformation from the teams that used to appear under managers like Calderwood, Fenlon and Butcher.

McGeoch and McGinn were in charge tonight.

Just seen a couple of videos of the hibs fans singing sunshine on leith after the match yesteray, it makes your hairs stand up.

Best Anthem in football

Disappointing that Aberdeen couldn't take something from Celtic at home tonight. Looks like the wait for someone outside the Old Firm winning the league may not happen this season.

I'm going to be miserablist and say I am pretty bored with the song. I can't deny it's a grand sight when all the fans are up and singing but I'm not a big Proclaimers fan. I like Glory, Glory To The Hibees better.

I think it's fair to say approaching the end of October, that's Rangers title hopes sunk after last night.

Everybody's did! But it was only a matter of time anyway.

Graeme Souness was right in what he said yesterday. Whatever their crimes, dumping Rangers ruined Scottish football in the eyes of the world.
