I always wonder about the mindset of a section (or it could be almost all) of their support.
Their politics confuse me, their reasoning embarrasses me and their justification of determining the destiny of our own country because of their allegiance to a crown that gives not a single f**k about them is just mental.
We all know the vast majority of Rangers fans are simply anti independence because of their club ‘heritage‘ and ‘culture’ and ‘values’.
It’s idiotic and shows them up for being intrinsic and secular.
Anyone that votes against the interests of their own country because of a football team shouldn’t be allowed a vote. It’s that simple.
And this fan gets it:
And the thread is a conversation of mind bending idiocy from a lot of fans raging with that kind of free thought that, if you don’t match that value, you’re ‘not one of them’.
It’s mental:
Away and watch “Braveheart” again son….

Even Hearts fans turn on them:
Next time you're at Ibrox I dare you to stand up and chant pro independence chants.

Rangers fans on here who try to police the support are funny man. You cannae be this and support Rangers, you cannae dae that and support Rangers. It’s a football team not a fu**ing militia.

Never a rangers fan

It’s also self-defeating. One sure-fire way of getting folk to do something is to tell them they can’t. As a boy, I happily bought into the RFC = GSTQ narrative but I’ve since grown up & discovered that the most ‘staunch’ of my fellow Protestants know sweet FA about their ‘faith’

And this has to be the most insane one of them all:
Rangers is a way of life if you aren’t a fully fledged unionist and monarchist you shouldn’t be allowed to enter Ibrox non-protestants are welcome as long as they recognise it’s a Protestant club

I’ll never understand their support. Ever.

You could use some of that argument on Celtic fans reasons for wanting independence. We are not Ireland, we are Scottish and the differences of being independent are stark. For the record, I would absolutely love Scotland to be independent, but never under the watch of Sturgeon & her cronies. They condone the racism and constant attacks on the catholic and Irish communities and have done zero to improve Scotland in all their tenure. The list is long so I won’t get into to it all, but to think that if we were to go independent just now and think we would be better off for it, is living on dreamland. They can’t cope with the current regularities that we have full control over now. Their message at the last local elections were to vote SNP so we can show Boris and the tories how much we hate them. Nothing to do with how the SNP we’re going to improve the lives of people in Scotland, just hate. They’re nothing but orange tories and have held this country back for years.
Again, I would absolutely love Scotland to be independent, but only if you had a Donald Dewar type at the helm. Someone who cares and had the intellect to take Scotland forward and not because we want to be like Ireland…because we’re not.
