But let me ask you a question if today you go onto a Rangers forum, fan page, supporters bus, pub or away game how confident are you that you will see no incidents, remarks or comments that could be perceived as anti-Catholic by a mass group? Would a mass group not be composed mostly of Catholics? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jock Stein was left in tears after his initial Celtic managerial hopes were scuppered because he was Protestant, a new BBC Lisbon Lions documentary reveals – The Scottish Sun Stein, who passed away in 1985, was appointed as Celtic reserves manager in 1957. But his ambitions to eventually become manager were brought to a crushing halt after a discussion with then chairman Robert Kelly. In the programme that airs next week, Stein says: "I was a non-Catholic. "So Robert Kelly thought I had gone as far as I would expect to go at a club like Celtic." Jimmy Conway - a former Celtic reserve player - recalls when Stein told him he would be leaving the club. He said: "The chairman had told him he couldn't go any further at the club because of his religion. "He really was upset and there were tears. He was very, very upset because he loved the club." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Alex Ferguson doc was quite eye opening as to what it was like at the time, how he was treated seemed to hurt him deeply If it was an Orange Lodge their censors didn't do a particularly good job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the most obvious and telling story about him removing all the green Jelly Babies from the packets Probably ate them all, accounting for his false teeth... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever_blueco Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Also Celtic fans using Mo Johnson as a point scorer constantly because some sections of Rangers fans at the time said something to a BBC camera in some pub is a tad ironic the guy still feels unsafe walking the streets of Glasgow after more than 30 years since the signing because some of your support can’t let it go Alfie Conn worked in a Rangers pub after doing the same thing the opposite direction Edited August 5, 2021 by Forever_blueco 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok you can call it what it is - anti-Catholic prejudice. Failing to call something out for what it is or down-playing it is exactly why it still exists in some sections 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
