Rangers (3 Viewers)

[clint van damme]

I’m being slightly tongue in cheek…my main problem with it is the inevitable sectarianism.

No argument from me on that.
But the initial post I replied to is why do people in England follow it and I just gave my reason as to why I thought they did.

Lots of teams carry baggage, Millwall, West Ham etc, the England national team was probably the worse for a couple of decades, but I don't think most people getting their kids involved think too deeply about that stuff.
I think most just want to pass on their love of the team to their kids, even if they live on the other side of the world.

Fuck knows why so many English football fans are so invested in either of them.

Agreed

Any time I have ever been asked by a Scot if I have a 'Scottish Team' I have just answered St Mirren, for no reason other than they won the FA Cup the same year as us - Look of confusion on their face expecting an Englishman to say Rangers is funny at least

Its weird enough that anyone, whether they’re from Scotland or not, would ask an Englishman if they have a Scottish team.

Let’s be honest, Celtic in the top flight would be a far bigger ‘brand’ than Bournemouth, Brentford, Fulham or any of the other clubs I forget are top flight clubs. Same for Rangers.

I think Rangers would thrive in the Premier League, and Celtic would be doomed. But I’m basing that purely on my views on transubstantiation.

When we lived in Inverness a lot of the locals supported Inverness & Celtic or Rangers which I always thought was weird. When we moved to the central belt when I told someone that I supported Coventry I was asked which Scottish team I support & they were shocked when I said that I don't. I have also been asked which PL team I support
