Doubt it. It's orange and would have been known by Ferguson to be likely to have anti-Catholic slogans on it. He's thick, but not that thick.

He’ll definitely have seen it was orange but I’m not so sure about him knowing the message on it. I’m not saying he definitely didn’t know, but I would require a bit of proof before llabelled him a bigot. I can’t say I’ve ever heard anything from Ferguson that made me think he was a bigot.

He didn't know the significance of coppers hats and union jacks and ornage scarfs - that they aren't the imagery of bigotry up there?

Then maybe I was wrong - he really IS that thick.

I don’t know anything about imagery involving policemen’s hats.

Obviously the Orange colour is linked to the Orange Order, he would have know that, but I would imagine he just picked up `the scarf without paying much attention to what was on it. Clearly he’s celebrating, and I doubt he would have bothered looking at the scarves too closely.

It seems to me the problems regarding Catholic schools are in two countries. Two countries where the Orange Order are still popular.

In my opinion, "bigotry comes from the home." Schools have absolutely nothing to do with it. They have black and Asian kids in schools with white kids and it doesn’t seem to have done a lot to prevent racism.

If your parents are decent folk, then the chances are you’ll be a decent person. If your dad is like Alf Garnet, or the guy from Love They Neighbour, chances are you’ll be a racist, and a bigot, no matter what school you go to.

Very much so.

Yep. Nobody does petty like Scottish football does petty.

Wrong, my arl fella is your archetypal Alf Garnet/Eddie Booth (Doubt your old enough to actually remember the characters in Love Thy neighbour) and he's a decent fella, just the era he grew up in, remember these programmes were on TV in the 70's without anyone blinking an eye,I'm glad to say he's still with us and I love him to bits, however I am neither racist/homophobic nor bigoted .

considering i'm a twenty eight year old protestant (by birth, only ever been in a church for weddings, christenings etc), everton and rangers fan and i've no idea what you're on about i'd say quite possibly,
I hate celtic like a watered down version of how much i hate liverpool, nothing to do with religious views or nationality, but maybe that's because i'm english?

The difference being, ibrox will be full and pittodrie wasnt and the sheep could have given us the proper allocation instead of having loads of empty seats

Morelos has agreed a contract extension until 2022
"It did not take me long to agree this extension," Morelos said
"My career has progressed quicker and better than I could have expected when I joined this great club. I feel a strong connection with the fans and they have made me feel special."

Manager Slippy, whose side visit Hibernian on Friday, added: "It's always important at big clubs like this one to make sure your top players are secured long term.

Loosely translated means bigger wages for Morelos when he goes on to bigger and better things at the end of the season and his 'Strong connection with the fans' comes to an abrupt end, Rangers for their part in the deal will be hoping for a big fee for him rather than him be there beyond the end of the season.

Good business if you like but why don't they just do it without spouting all the cr*p which neither party really means.

If your fans could behave no problem.
But since the other fence got taken down no chance logistically.
Your lot only throw or damage seats.
3k damage for 2000 fans .
Your old rangers wrecked the newish stand when you played keith fc at Pittodrie iirc.
Anyway that replay should be on the box!!
