bennett Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 If only we could find a player called Terry Munro to sign, there's got to be one somewhere..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energyzone Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 The SNP also takes a percentage of its vote from Rangers fans. It’s already extracted all the vote share it’s going to get from the middle-class. There’s not much to be gained from doing this.It can't be much though surely? I know a fair few Rangers fans and not one of them is outwardly an SNP voter. Most of them turned out to be Union Flag waving ultra British nationalists on social media at the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially among the younger generation of supporters. They're like anyone else in the younger generation - their politics are influenced by the 2008 depression, the 2014 referendum and the austerity of the early 2010's. Gen Z will also be similar given that they're coming of age through a pandemic. It's also pretty much exclusively younger people that were at the celebrations at the weekend. Anyway, here's a good bit for non-OF fans to read on why you want to be careful about jumping on the same side as the middle classes on this one.

bennett Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 ootball Club @RangersFC · Mar 10, 2021 Replying to @RangersFC SG: It was an extremely strong performance at the weekend, the players are in a good place in terms of form and I want us to go in with confidence. We have respect as we know this is a difficult opposition, it is a really fascinating fixture. Rangers Football Club @RangersFC SG: Roofe will train this morning and will be available. Jack could be ready but I have decided to hold back and he will be available for the second-leg, I don't want to push him too quick. Tavernier will be a little bit slower to return 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Jordan Campbell saying this morning that Rangers are looking at establishing a partnership with Kinetic Academy in south London. Presumably would involve funding the Academy in exchange for getting some eyes on the best south London players. Very up for that tbh. The cage football lads are special, and are probably going to be where the next English golden generation comes from. We could really do with setting up a similar culture in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem on both counts is they probably are frightened to say it for fear of backlash from their more extremist fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamBragg Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Just now, G51 said: lol what afraid to say it where? Anywhere. Take a look at twitter or any social media. Today for example you have Rangers fans on twitter saying people who vote SNP shouldn't be welcome at Ibrox because they're anti Rangers republicans. I've yet to see an SNP supporting Rangers fan or Tory Celtic fan arguing back against these people. Why do you think that is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
