Scottish football

[KennyEdin1]

Recently watched a documentary about the Celtic vs Rangers rivalry in order to learn more about it. I have Scottish friends on both sides but no matter how they each explain to me I've never managed understand enough to come down on either side.

I am Catholic and recently began to take my faith more seriously but truth be told, I have never felt affinity for either club or their supporters regardless. To me they're just as bad as each other, equally as cringey. I'm proud of my background but I don't love the Queen and but I also don't like IRA or feel any affinity for Ireland (even though I can trace family back to there).

Of you want to support a Scottish side stay away from either Celtic or Rangers (and I'm a Celtic fan) both are hated by fans from every club in an equal measure.

I'm Irish and Catholic (with a small 'c') But that doesn't define why I'm a Celtic fan. I love football and Celtic was the team I was first aware off from my dad, uncles and Brother.

When I go to games it appears more of an Nationalist/Republican to Unionist/Loyalist devide these days. The majority of fans in my experience are just football fans who see the rivally in a football sense. Off course their is no getting away from the religion aspect, but most probably haven't been near a church in years. My hatred of Rangers comes from them doing everything (legally and illegally) to stop us and everyone else in Scottish football winning trophies!

Fifth year anniversary today of Rangers going into administration. What a bizarre half decade it's been

I will celebrate when it's the 5th anniversary of Rangers being nuked into the ground

It's shameful that they weren't stripped of some of their titles

The "S" in "SFA" seemingly stands for "spineless"

It'll drag on for ages this, and be exceedingly expensive for the club

I don't get why Rangers keeps getting compared to celtic this season as a marker of failure. Celtic have won all but one game so far this year so no club would come close, let alone one just promoted from a lower division. So i do not get why Warbuton has had a turbulent season or has exactly failed if they find themselves in 2nd, even if they did spend more than the rest of the league so to speak they still are a newly promoted club.

That is true, but at the same time it seems to be the media perception of them as well doing that. I can't speak for how they would have seen their own season as i tend to not pay attention to any club apart from us but generally the media seem to strike them as failing for not winning every game so far. Celtic are overachiving with the best team in a very poor standard league, which is annoying considering who is in charge of them but even on the basis that they are better than everyone else, how can rangers genuinely be compared to them for not being dominant the minute they come back up? It doesn't make sense, a little bit like questioning why forest have not qualified and won the european cup within 2 years of being promoted.

Hearsay has it, that Rangers are on the bones of their arses still, & another administration is looming !!

What Brendan said

The Rangers support expected to be challenging right away, and are now angry that they aren't

They had a golden chance in 2012 to rebuild from scratch and wasted it, and now you see the results

Unless Aberdeen or Hearts can put a run together in the next couple of seasons, 10 in a row seems nailed on
