Queen's Park can fuck off n all, to be fair. I'm supposed to dislike the Jags, but I don't really mind them.

What have Queens Park done to deserve your wrath?

They've got 'Queen' in their name, for starters.

Yeah. I grew up in Edinburgh, and then my parents moved to Kilmarnock. I've walked among them. I've been to dinner at my folks' with a man who had season tickets for Killie and Rangers,

From what I gather, this is correct. When Rangers won 5-1 at Kilmarnock to clinch the title in 2011, there were some suggestions that the home fans weren't exactly upset at how things had panned out.

^^ Just make sure you don’t stick up for yourself mate, as that would make you “just the same as them”. I offer similar advice to black people in the Deep South and Gazans.

Edit: response to SE’s post.

There's always been a vague Toryness to them which is common among teams that boast about amateurism (see, eg, all rugby union teams). When Clyde were homeless and on the brink of extinction they refused to let us share as it might "encourage professionalism" (lolz,  obviously never seen us play), then happily welcomed Celtic for a season when they wanted to do Parkhead up. As stated, took millions from the SFA for Hampden on the agreement they would develop Lesser, then never bothered, meaning it is basically impossible for away fans to get tickets. Worst of all, the twats pretty much always beat Clyde.

I do respect their significant, though inadvertent, role in Villa's development, though.

How is supporting the Scottish Liverpool sticking up for anybody? So the Green Brigade pricks mix up their time running up and down high streets in green Stone Island and green gimp masks and waving Palestian flags about. About as worthwhile an endeavour as Union Bears gimps in black Stone Island and blue gimp masks waving union Jacks about. Who gives a fuck about the self agrandising twats antics? Being a prod and somebody who quite likes the country in which I live provides no shared kinship with Rangers and frankly anybody; absolutely fuck everybody else who is not the Villa.

Stenhousemuir up to the second tier for the first time since it changed to a four division league. Great achievement.

Good stuff, always nice to see the smaller clubs in maroon and white doing well. Their Norwegian supporters' club will be well chuffed.

All 30 of them. They've been my adopted Scottish club purely based on an old Scottish neighbour and friend of my parents. He'll be looking down tonight with a smile on his face.

Hearts say they were forced to leave Celtic Park immediately after the final whistle of their Scottish Premiership decider because of "the menacing and threatening atmosphere inside the stadium".

Fans invaded the pitch after Callum Osmand scored to put Celtic 3-1 ahead deep into stoppage time as the reigning champions leapfrogged the visitors to secure their fifth consecutive league title in an incredible conclusion to the season.

In a statement released after their return to Tynecastle, Hearts say they "utterly condemn the shameful scenes at Celtic Park, which have, once again, embarrassed Scottish football".

Hearts, who finished as runners-up after leading the league since September, say "reports of serious physical and verbal abuse towards our players and staff, both on the pitch and elsewhere" are being investigated by the club and Police Scotland.

Describing the events in Glasgow as "deeply disturbing", the Edinburgh club say: "We will make no further comment at this time other than to say that it is completely unacceptable that our players and staff were put in that situation.

"Given the menacing and threatening atmosphere inside the stadium, our entire staff had no alternative but to leave immediately, without undertaking post-match media duties.

"To our media partners, we apologise, but the safety of our staff was our prime focus during these unacceptable scenes."

Hearts also noted that "nobody seemed to know whether or not the match had been brought to a finish", given the Celtic fans entered the field in the immediate aftermath of the third goal and with time still notionally left to play.

The latest incident comes after fans of both Celtic and Rangers invaded the pitch following the Scottish Cup quarter-final at Ibrox.

Hearts say they "expect the strongest action possible to be taken by the footballing authorities" to protect "the integrity of our game".

"This season has seen Hearts capture the imagination of football fans, not only in Scotland but the world over," they add.

"We pay tribute to Derek McInnes, his staff, the first team and the supporters, who have done the club proud this season. None of them deserved the disgraceful scenes that unfolded."

The SPFL says it will be making no comment on the post-match scenes until it has seen their match delegate's report.

However, it is believed that the match officials have confirmed that the full time whistle was blown before the players left the field.
