D minus for attempted baiting, must try harder...
Their best player this season is a former Celtic player, what's the difference.

I think you know the difference, still a D minus...

Aye sort themselves out. Show some humility, realise that the old club weren't "punished", realise the new club got a huge favour being allowed into the league structure, and stop with the FC Statement garbage.
That doesn't mean returning to their bully boy, 'everything we say goes', attitude that they drag around with them in their second coming. And absolutely nothing to do with the Scotland team, the entire fascination with the "old firm" is what drags Scotland back time and again. Even Fergie said he struggled to pick the Miller/McLeish/Leighton combo because of pressure from the Weegia, that says it all.

Got it now.
I'm thinking on football players, clubs and managers.
You are thinking on interview questions about schools attended.

It has nothing to do with what I'm thinking but I'll leave it at that.
Good luck with your next attempt at baiting.

Yawn, try not to get too consumed by your bitterness.

I double dare you to have a wee wander round Glasgow one match day, pop into a local friendly hostelry to watch the action live on the TV and refer to Rangers as "Sevco". I'll even come and visit you in the hospital afterwards.
All these brave souls with their keyboards...

So you've never aimed any banter at a rival team, whether it be 100% factually true or not?
Sorry, stupid question, you've not been around long enough to develop any rival teams.

I'm a Celtic fan, I just happen to still live in the west of Scotland and therefore am surrounded with the outcome of all the "banter" on a day to day basis.
If you think calling Rangers Sevco is just banter, try it in the Louden Tavern on matchday, plenty of rival fans to aim it at in there...

You reckon? Quite a large level of hatred already shown on this thread towards a new team.
Pathetic that you can’t have a decent thread about anything to do with rangers without all the bitter trolls coming out to spoil it.
This was an interesting chat about the manager situation, ruined now with all this off topic crap.

Matched by your own hatred of Rangers it appears...

I really don't hate Rangers at all. In fact growing up in Glasgow and being a weegie - throughout the 1960s and 1970s I was quite a second-hand fan of Rangers - as I was of Celtic - because of their European successes and the great players both clubs had and that were in the Scotland team.
But in my eyes something went badly wrong with both teams during the 80s and into the 90s and on into the 2000s - when the big money came in (or didn't as the case might be) and ambition grew. And as ambition grew so did the arrogance and self-importance and the dismissal of the rest of Scottish football.
So is it any surprise that to a supporter of a 'diddy' team the Rangers Struggle Years are seen as payback for the previous 30yrs - and as much as schadenfreude is not a particularly healthy emotion - I have rather enjoyed it.
But for me it is time to move on - and though I still take the rip from time to time out of my brother and niece - I actually do rather want Rangers to become a great club again - to challenge in Europe and to be able to stick one over on teams from down south, because that is where they shoud be and what they should be doing.
And if along the way a bit of humility returns and they can divest themselves of the more obnoxious elements and aspects of their support then I will be well on board.

And they really don't hate you so maybe you should stop saying they do...

I don't think they hate us - though some seem to hate some of the clubs that they view as being responsible for their demise. But many didn't seem to give a jot about whether or not Scottish football collapsed if Celtic and Rangers were to leave the Scottish league. And it is a fact that the wee teams were considered and referred to as 'diddy' teams - and that's not very respectful - no matter how true that might actually be

Serious football and banter make good bed fellows.
Growing up in Northern Ireland, surrounded by people insisting that I support Rangers because it's what good Protestants do has given me a fairly low tolerance for them so I will aim a good amount of "friendly abuse" their way. I don't think football would be the same without the desire to see certain teams struggle, now would it?
As for who the manager should be - I'll wade in. Give Tommy Wright a go. He was awful as manager of my local team but seems to have found a niche in Scotland.
