I hope that's the case Smirky, and it would be a shame if this excellent thread got pushed in the wrong direction.
However.......there was a strong affinity between DFC and the now deefunct Rangers in the 50's and 60's and I don't believe the line about the Union flag being adopted by them simply because of the colours. It was more than that.

But, hopefully all history, and times have moved on.
