Surely that should be applauded/encouraged? that as an irishman he doesn't let your prejudices affect him in choosing what football team he supports? therefore being a part of the solution to the problem you have an issue with.
In fairness I have been very critical of Gerrard and Rangers more broadly, but in honesty if an Irish fella wants to watch them, and gets abused if he goes to Ibrox, thats a comment on those doing the abusing not the Irish fella in question in my view.
To be fair to him, Rangers did have an unreal team in the early 90's. Contrary to this thread, I'm not really anti-Rangers per se (just can't be doing with their manager) but they had a brilliant team. Richard Gough when he came here at about 40 is still one of the best CB's I've seen. Gasgoigne was on another level up there, Laudrop, De Boer etc, fantastic players. I remember when Celtic finally pipped there and had Larsson, Sutton etc, two great teams then.
I've always liked to see both the Old Firm clubs do well.
