True enough, there has been little or no Scottish immigration to Ireland.

TBH I don't think Scottish people feel the same need to ingratiate themselves with us that we do with them. 

Fk all Scottish people live in Ireland or visit Ireland recreationally. We are not on their pulse.

You would not get Scottish Protestants who have absolutely no connection whatsoever to Ireland spontaneously deciding to support Celtic, or for the sake of argument, Shamrock Rovers.

It's quite the Rangers love in here. I don't hate Rangers but I'm not going to sit here defending them or bury my head in the sand either.

A lot of the Irish lads wearing Rangers jerseys or trying to curry favour with their fans wouldn't be long getting a hiding in Glasgow no matter how much they suck up to them.

So he kept me soul for ransom.

Likewise a huge lad in sixth year wore one on a non-uniform day, I was only a wee first year at the time Embarrassed
 
The school itself was a Protestant one. Kids use to go around selling poppies, had a remembrance day ceremony on the 11 November, a Speaker came in once to tell us about William of Orange. Very unusual stuff for a school in Dublin thinking back.
 
 
 
I know of a few lads that go to Shels games that 'support' Rangers, I think it could be more to do with winding people up/their hatred for Celtic though than anything else, Then again I've also heard at least one of these guys has a good relationship with a some dodgy Linfield supporters in Belfast.
 
 
There's a spot in Blackpool near to Bloomfield road with 2 or 3 Rangers pubs right next to each other, street is covered in Union jack bunting all year. Have only just passed through the area before so wouldn't know what kind of reception you'd get if you decided to have a few drinks.

jaysus them lads have no tact at all

the minaun , i think it has shut down and good riddance, shower of bigots, was in there one day with a kiwi mate and they accused him of being english ( as if its a crime LOL)
 
great spot for an old firm game though LOL
 
 

LOL 
They're not the most cosmopolitan up there in Achill

I know one of the Malloy brothers well and he'd always be talking about his gigs in the place.He'd great time for the owners and wouldn't have a bad word to say about anyone.I'd try and get him going about that place that I might land in with a Union Jack for the craic one night,Obviously he knew I was only codding him.
