I didn't see George Square getting wrecked or fans rioting with each other last night after Celtic clinched the league or any of the 9 years before last. There were no reports of trouble when Celtic fans travelled in their numbers for the UEFA Cup final in 2003. In fact, UEFA awarded them the Fair Play award for their behaviour in the city.
I don't think you can absolve the football fans of any blame either. Ibrox holds 50 thousand. How many of those 50 thousand do you think descended onto Glasgow city centre last summer to 'celebrate'? Only recently a Celtic physio required stitches after being glassed at Ibrox as well as whatever scumbag launched shards of broken glass into Joe Hart's goal area.
Granted, there's definitely a wider societal issue in Scotland but it's clear there's a rotten element within the Rangers support that doesn't exist at any other Scottish club to anywhere near the same extent. For example, three Scottish clubs have reached the UEFA Cup final and two of the fanbases have been awarded the Fair Play award afterwards for their behaviour. Guess who the odd one out is? Three Scottish clubs have won European trophies. Two of them were presented with the trophy in front of fans as is tradition. One of them received their trophy in the dressing room because there was a riot happening outside which earned them a ban from European competitions. Take another guess as to which club that was? In recent seasons they've had multiple partial stadium closures by UEFA for "sectarian and racist" behaviour.
There's definitely some issues within society that fuel it but the club themselves don't do enough to distance themselves from the nasty element in their support. They create an "anyone, everyone" campaign and then at the same time they hire a senior Orange Order member in David 'No Surrender' Graham to head up their communications and PR. It beggars belief.
And neither did Rangers during their 9 in a row or any of their previous title wins. George Square was again an example where not just football fans were out, & again a special set of circumstances, first title win in 10 years, lockdown meaning fans couldn't attend the game or get in the stadium, so a lot descended in the city centre, and yeah a ned element with drink & drugs blackened the name of the support.
I fear you have a bit of selective memory with your own club & support. See, I think you lot see sectarianism as a 1 way street, but you celebrated your title win a couple of days ago with an IRA karaoke & horrible sectarian songs about the late Rangers kitman Jimmy Bell up in Tannadice.
Last couple of weeks there's been fighting amongst the Bhoys & Green Brigade at Ross County, and pre Old Firm game at the Forge Retail park.
Only last season you were rioting at Parkhead throwing barriers at team busses.
You had to have your treble winning victory parade in 2019 rerouted because of safety concerns and complaints parts of the City were left in a state.
There's been trouble at Sunderland, Valencia, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Brentford over the past 10 years or so.
You talk about Rangers UEFA fines, but fail to mention the dozens Celtic have had over the past decase, including Pro IRA chants & political banners, crowd trouble, fan running on the pitch to try & kick Mbappe etc.
Shame game at Celtic Park when Hugh Dallas got hit by a coin, hanging efergies at another Old Firm game, see, I can play this game of Whataboutary quite well as well.
As for Rangers employ, we won't go into detail about the class action lawsuit Celtic are facing.
See, I can see, and acknowledge, the unsavoury element in our support. It's there, there's no denying it, and yeah, it's embarrassing. It's something we need to try and deal with constantly. My point was more that drink & more recently drugs that fuel it.
However, do you lot seem to think you don't have these issues? When you break it down, your support has the same cross section of society that we have, they are just wearing different colours.
