UEFA Cup tonight

[Worthy4England]

Fatshaft is an avid follower of the Dons and his loathing of Rangers and to be fair to him, the Old Firm in general, is understandable, but i just can't for the life of me think why you would?

I'm treading very carefully here becasue we had a rather heated discussion with you about this many months ago.

But look at it another way, how much hatred do you reserve for your Guildford based Utd fans, or your Midlands Liverpool fans? The same is true, in fact arguably more so in Scotland, with coachloads from all over the country heading out of their towns and villages each week to watch the old firm. Not saying we don't hate the real Neds as well of course

Although in fairness it's the ones who've never set foot in Glasgow, never mind Celtic Park or Castle Greyskull that really winds everyone up, just as it is down here in England with the mass of glory hunters surrounding Man U/Liverpool & Chelsea. I work in Leamington with 3 "Liverpool" fans who could be supporting Coventry (all are from Cov), but yet these never been to Anfield lads spend many hours discussing "we" & "us" in regards to the red side of Merseyside.

I fecking hate that more than anything about football.

That said, good luck in the final, you'll be surprised to learn that I am torn between wanting Rangers to win or not. It would be an easy choice if I was still in Scotland, but I've been amazed at the scorn with which Scottish football is treated down here, so I'd love to see a Scottish European win to make the doubters think twice, or maybe I wouldn't?

Yes but the proper European Cup will of course be won by an English side Feck - did I just say that about scum or Chelsea????

Well i hate ALL man u fans wherever they're from

I do take your point on the 'colour wearers' who do so for whatever reason.

But as you have acknowledged (Ta) i DO go to Ibrox and support Rangers.

Your point re the derision of the English regarding Scottish football is bang on, Scotland have a very useful national team in the offing IMHO and with the youth systems and the SFA forcing teams to blood new Scottish talent (still don't understand that fully tbh) the future of Scottish football looks very healthy indeed.

I don't think you'll ever change the opinion of the lads who say the SPL is always a 2 horse race, but as you say a Scottish club in the shop window of a decent tournament can only be good for Scotland.

Most football fans are just that and unfortunately the 50,000 who go to Ibrox and behave and support the team aren't the ones who make the headlines.

We are recognisable by nature of usually being draped in a Union Flag with the words 'Bolton Loyal' emblazoned across it.

What?

I seem to remember a few years ago when Celtic were in the UEFA final, they all turned up for the Rangers match wearing sombreros and carrying stuffed donkeys and beach balls because the final was in Seville. Funny as feck.

What's the Rangers fans going to wear to signify their trip to Manchester??

[Gertie]

Kappa shellsuits, gold chains and Blurberry caps??

More than likely they'll be wearing red, white and blue, singing Rule Britannia, God save the Queen and waving Union Flags, nothing could possibly wind the celtic fans up more than that.
