    I clearly remember the HUNS booing black players during european home ties and a whole bunch of bananas being thrown onto the pitch under the floodlights which was cheered by the scum that support them,FACT.
    Ted McMinn's autobiography is great with insight on that stuff. He was told to break up with his girlfriend because she was catholic (although he said it in a wink wink way). He also talked about the rumours that he was nicknamed 'Ted' because his real name is Kevin and that is apparently a catholic name (I'll be honest, until I read that book I had no idea there were 'catholic' names) and wouldn't go down well at Ibrox

    I've posted this before but it needs repeating. Jock Wallace told me that he was sitting in the players bar at Ibrox after a match having a drink with a good friend. He said 2 Rangers directors came over, pulled him aside and said his friend would have to leave because he was known to be a Catholic. His friend did leave but Jock said that pretty much finished Rangers for him.

    Vile horrible club and that nothing is done about sectarianism in Scotland is a dark stain on the Scottish game.

    Even though things have improved in that department since Souness who clearly was never gonna accept the only a protestant rule,directors of the new club who are owed tens of millions fae the Huns will not allow the Cinch sponsorship because they are a rival to their own business interests.
    Its a case of F Scottish football and the other 41 clubs, sponsor deals can only happen if the owners of The Big Hoose are happy with the company involved.

    Fair point GB, especially about the other clubs. But wasn't it "someone or others" in Scottish futba that thought it was perfectly acceptable to use the place as a neutral venue against us, even though they were playing in the match???

    Yi coodnae fu**ing write it......... that's Scottish futba for yi...

    Andy Gray was a guest on a strikers show on Talk Sport i heard it early this morning.He spoke mainly about his career in England but did mention his time at Glasgow Rangers RIP.He mentioned Kevin Drinkell and said,"We never called him Kevin though as it was too posh a name so he was always called Billy."

    Anybody who walks into that FN building is even to this day dragged into the sectarianism cesspit.They cannie FN help themselves and i predict it will never change.
