Im not suggesting at all that Rangers as a club would not have had some sort of tribute, this was however arranged and paid for by fans.

Football supporters honouring Remembrance is "classless." That's a strange thing to say.

Never said that at all, said using the symbol of Remembrance for point scoring purposes is classless.

Classless=Clueless=you.

Thank you Troll.

Ok so the the Celtic fans are classless, what are the Rangers fans who have used the poppy as a tool for point scoring today?

Don't think you're gonna draw any popular support around here with that one.

Rangers always paint themselves as more British than Royal Tunbridge Wells, Churchill and Last Night at the Proms combined whilst Celtic supporters (or some sections of) define themselves by their anti Britishness.

Both are utterly dislikeable but I'm sure it's easier for some to gravitate towards the club that thinks it's Last Night at the Proms and the 12th of July every Saturday afternoon rather than the one signing rebel songs.

Both seem to be stuck somewhere between 1680 - 1920 so If I had my way I'd pack them off to parts of the world with a similar outlook, Burkina Faso, Kazakhstan and Ulaanbaatar would be my choice. With maybe Rangers facing a few cup games in the Falklands, Gibraltar and the overseas territory of Saint Helena. I'm sure they'd love all the bunting and ostentatious displays of  Britishness.

As poetically eloquent a post as you could wish to read.

I agree.

If only point scoring via acts of respect was a more common place phenomenon in society.

As hilts said, Celtic only have themselves to blame for their shameful behaviour in exploding the bigoted-o-meter and how they look like a bunch of toss bags in comparison to Rangers on this issue.

I really fail to see any problem with what's happening in that photo at all. They're certainly not hurting or offending anyone as far as I can tell.

Neither do I. I think it looks quite spectacular.

It looks superb. Wish we'd have thought of something similar.

And so what if it's in reaction to Celtic's garbage. I see no problem with someone else setting an example of how respect should be paid.

In my opinion it's just further highlighted the Celtic fans who supported the banners for what they are. And that's a good thing.

Seems poorly written to me.

Why ?

[lovejoy]

The article is contradictory and also uses the Daily Mail to have a pop at the pro poppy brigade. Clearly the middle ground where most people are is being missed here.

Classless Rangers supporters?

I couldn't really work out what the author of that article was trying to get at to be honest.

The display is purely a reaction to the Green Brigade banner last week, surely using the poppy to score points is disrespecting those who the flower is there to honour/remind us of?

IF it is a "points scoring exercise" then blame the narrow-minded, stuck in the past twats from Celtic that gave them the "open goal" in the first place.

I cannot pretend to understand the difference in politics between the 2 sets of supporters, I don't.
 But do they travel under one banner when they follow Scotland? If so do these political matters ever arise or is it just accepted that following their national side comes without political differences?
 Just wondering because we are always told how well behaved their support is on a national level.

Coming from an Irish catholic background, I have a soft spot for Celtic and I know that the mindless minority of Rangers supporters are just as capable of carrying out acts the rest of us would count as deplorable (see Villa Park 1977), however, MO'Ns X1 (deliberate piss take name to begin with) is attempting to defend the indefensible here.  Rangers have been allowed to take the moral highground here and the Celts protest is as wide of the mark as Scottish football is at the moment.
