As soon as I saw the picture it struck me as weird to have a clear piece of marketing on it, then the tastelessness of it sank in. Totally lacking in class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the BBC held a position that what people tweeted from their personal accounts was not a matter for them to comment on after Michael Stewart had said something that had some Rangers fans complaining. Maybe a change in position or it might depend on what type of employee/employer relationship they have with each person. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, even if they didn’t mean it this was a pretty dumb own goal from Celtic. Edited March 6, 2022 by Dons_1988 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. The worse or more crass the behaviour the less need there is to mention it. Wait for his complete condemnation the next time Rangers are criticised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Daily Express All of the SNP politicians representing Scotland's largest city snubbed a motion congratulating Rangers FC on the club's 150th anniversary. The Ibrox giants are launching a month-long celebration at the home match against Aberdeen this afternoon, with a fan village set up outside the ground ahead of kick-off. Rangers were formed by four young Glasgow pals - brothers Moses and Peter McNeil, William McBeath and Peter Campbell - in March 1872. Last month, Scottish Conservative MSP Dr Sandesh Gulhane - who works as a GP in the city - submitted a parliamentary motion congratulating the club on the milestone anniversary. It's been signed by 22 MSPs, most of them Dr Gulhane's fellow Tories but also Labour's Neil Bibby, Paul Sweeney and Paul O'Kane and the SNP's Fulton MacGregor - who represents Coatbridge and Chryston in Lanarkshire. None of the city's eight SNP constituency MSPs signed the motion, including First Minister Nicola Sturgeon whose Southside constituency is home to the club. Green coalition minister Patrick Harvie and Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar - who stood against Ms Sturgeon and lives in the constituency - also failed to sign. Ms Sturgeon's Twitter account also has no mention of the anniversary. SNP backbencher Marie McNair, whose Clydebank and Milngavie constituency includes Rangers' Murray Park training base, also failed to sign the motion. As well as the fan village, supporters heading to the match can buy a special souvenir programme and there will be a range of events throughout March. Dr Gulhane's motion states: "That the Parliament congratulates Rangers Football Club, founded in March 1872, on its 150th anniversary; understands that it is the second most successful club in world football in terms of trophies won; further understands that it is one of the 11 original members of the Scottish Football League, has been champion of Scottish league football 55 times, winner of the Scottish Cup 33 times, the Scottish League Cup a record 27 times, the domestic 'treble' on seven occasions and the European Cup Winners Cup in 1972." The MSP, who is also a club doctor for Queen’s Park FC, goes on to praise the club for its Rangers Charity foundation and its partnerships including with Unicef, Prostate Cancer Charity and Erskine veterans charity. The first team will also wear a special edition 'Gallant Pioneers' kit for the game against the Dons. Rangers said on their website: "As the club reaches 150 years, everyone connected with Rangers is determined to make this a year to remember." I for one will be writing to my local MSPS when parliament doesn't acknowledge this years 150th anniversaries for Dumbarton & Vale Of Leven. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I'm guessing it was written by one of the Unionist Rangers fans who make up the vast majority of football journalists in Scotland? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Job Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Is that not the guy who is also the club doctor who Queen’s Park? Tories must be getting worried Labour are going to nick the Orange vote 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
