Rangers Football Club

Cabra Hoop wrote: I've been intrigued by the vilification of Tony by several posters here and at times it has been bordering on bullying. I know that Tony doesn't do himself any favours by seizing on every opportunity to portray Rangers in a negative light. That said there is a degree of truth in that Rangers get treated differently by the Scottish establishment than any other club. And when one club gets special treatment, it is their biggest rival that suffers and in the case of Scottish football that club is Celtic. So, its understandable that some sectors of the Celtic fanbase highlight any perceived favouritism afforded to Rangers. The fact that Rangers fans display a superior attitude with their WAPT claptrap further infuriates some Celtic fans. Nonetheless i dont think that many posters on here who slight Tony are well enough  informed to belittle thosevCeltic fans sense of victimhood. A lot of fans think because of the Old Firm adage that both clubs are somehow treated equally in Scotland. Nothing could be further from the truth. Rangers are the biggest club in Scotland, the club favoured by the establishment. Celtic are the club of immigrants, of a different religion to the state religion and a threat to the status quo. You might think I'm exaggerating fair enough but think on this - in 1994 Celtic were in debt to the banks for £7m. The banks were going to court and it was likely that Celtic would be declared bankrupt. This story was front and back page news in the media on Scotland and Celtics reputation was dragged through the mire. Luckily Fergis McCann can on board and guaranteed the debt and saved the club from bankruptcy. Years later it was revealed that at the same time time Rangers debt was 3 times that of Celtics. This was known at the time by some on the media but nor reported on and no banks went to court to file bankruptcy against Rangers. That's just one example.

Exactly. It wouldn’t be tolerated on here you’d be banned and called a racist

---A huge amount of rubbish was lifted, glass from 1000s of broken bottles removed & graffiti cleaned away.

100s of plants were also destroyed, scaffolding & traffic lights damaged, benches & security fences broken beyond repair & lighting for Sir Walter Scott column smashed up.

Statues of Queen Victoria & Prince Albert require significant repair - the Queen Victoria statue has failed a topple test, meaning it is moving on the plinth & has been fenced off for safety reasons.

It's thought their restoration will run into a five figure sum apiece. ---

They wrecked their beloved Vic & bertie
