So why is it we are so hated if it is nothing to do with politics or religion? Let's bear in mind, we haven't won a major trophy in six years.

Thank you for proving the point that, as a Rangers player, he is being treated differently. The case rests m'lud.

One would hope all our chairmen and managers have held this view.

Rangers Football Club is a focal point for Unionists throughout Scotland and I am more than happy with that. This thread is about something sinister being afoot and those in power don't like us because we are a Unionist and predominantly Protestant club. You can dismiss that if you want but they don't hate us beacause we're just another football club - we are far more than that.

That's exactly what they want us to do, TB. Compliance. No thanks.

If you insist.

Politics and Scottish football are entwined, whether you like it or not. And Rangers are disliked by those running Scotland these days. It is perhaps a contributory factor in our recent troubles (just ask Baron Reid of Cardowan).

Well, the Basque clubs have the Basque flag, which is modelled on our own Union Flag ...so, sort of.

One of the Umbro strips had a wee Saltire on the back.

That's up to you. I'd prefer a Union Flag. It'd wind the scum up something rotten. And I'd love that.

Morelos and Pena keep the opposition guessing. Them, McCrorie and Jack would be my current first names on the team sheet. But it's all opinion based.

He is consistent. But not a consistent winner.

The diamond is working. McCrorie has been great in there, no doubt about it. I'd go with: McCrorie Dorrans Jack Pena With Windass and Morelos in front of them.

It was a strange moment (the tackle and sending off). I was confused at first and the replays didn't really help. I can see both arguments. He's a Rangers player, so I'll take his side.

Murty's record in big games is pretty impressive. A draw at the Piggery, a win at Murrayfield and home and away wins against the sheep.

I still can't stand Windass. He bugs me.

How good was Pena's pass to Miller in the first half (decent effort by Miller, well saved by the keeper)? Sublime bit of skill. His wee backheel to Windass just before Windass' good shot and another good save was also very good. We could've had 3 or 4 today.

Well, Pena is on his way over. But it's good to see lads from England and Scotland (and that principality) celebrating a goal for the Quintessential British Club together.

Why not? No one got hurt. Some lads had a good day out and some memories to cherish. Credit to them for enjoying themselves in the stifled atmosphere of a Scottish football match. It's not easy with Plod filming you but they did it anyway, in the face of bitter hatred from the dandy dicks.

I was never really sold on McInnes and the last two matches have done nothing to change that. Aberdeen were rubbish.

Same Bears want us all to sit down and behave like good little boys at matches. Sod that - it's football not rugby or polo.

Great photo. WATP and don't ever let them forget it.

Our best player that half. Great header from Wilson and Tav has been good going forward.

McCrorie for me. Cracking header and he deserves it for his overall play.

That's disappointing. Is Cardoso not ready to return? How come other players with broken noses play within days (with a mask) but ours is out for over month?
