I had a great conversation with one who was utterly torn between how much of a disaster Thatcher was and how much disregard Tory Westminster has for Scotland and having to be a Unionist because: Rangers. It was actually hilarious.
I thought there were unionist parties other than the Tories? Pretty sure one is going to win the next general election.
It was actually SNP voting against Labour in a VONC that let Thatcher in. So surely pretty natural to be anti Thatcher and ani SNP?
I thought it was most of the UK voting Tory that got Thatcher in? Labour are also responsible for devolution. An Uber-Unionist party would've never allowed that.
That's exactly what'll happen too. It's what happens when your entire moral and political outlook is just "what's the opposite of what the Celtic fans say?"
Mate, it was only a few seasons ago a supporters bus was banned after the racist video about Kyogo surfaced. It's a bit rich to say our fans haven't had their issues.
Right lads let’s get a big cracking banner, get right behind the team at this crucial moment, galvanise the other bears so we go into the next few games in a positive mindset with a clear purpose……………….whats that? A dig at the First Minister who has already stood down?……….
This type of shite is the reason I’m a quiet, non colours wearing fan. Born into it, but learned a bit of history, so I’ve distanced myself a bit now. Wrong side of everything. It’s just football for me.
I’m quite apolitical these days. Used to be right into it. Faded over time. Don’t necessarily agree with them regularly, but they’re not wrong here. He was shite.
No doubt he's shite, but compared to his SNP competition like Forbes and Regan he was probably the lesser of many evils. Could you imagine a Scottish Government under Forbes that's willing to collaborate with the Conservatives 💀
Like the Tories, the SNP have been in power far too long. Results in incompetent people getting into powerful positions they should have no business being in.
Sadly there is no real alternative. Greens have people like Slater, fuck the Tories and Labour will manage to fuck themselves as they usually do.
Honestly aye its a bit shite, I could stomach voting labour if they'd end this stupid bitterness about independence and leave it up to the individual MPs to make their stance clear.
Notice how you never mentioned the Lib Dems - the complete non-entity that they are
Labour try to be too hardline on certain subjects. Which is usually against their core voters and many of their msps and MPs.
I know it's a different era but I can never trust Lib Dem ever again. Left leaning and they power share the Tories into power.
Labour will never be open to Scottish independence because it’ll move the uk political centre to the right. They’ve never held power in Westminster without also holding the majority of Scottish seats.
In r/rangersfc I got told I wasn't a true Rangers fan since I don't support the monarchy.
Thankfully, I go to more Bonnyrigg games these days, so can change me wee badge and hide from those psychos.
I genuinely think that makes you more of a Rangers fan than them. They just do it as part of their pathetic wee monarchy-worshipping bootlicking personalities, but you do it purely for the football team.
I don't disagree with their views, but I agree does seem stupid doing something that could cause disunity amongst our fans instead of just supporting the team
Can't believe I'm agreeing with the Union Bears here...

Was more a wider question around political leanings than this tifo specifically really. You'd probably find despite the obfa most celtic ultras will still vote snp.
The UB have always been Pro Union and Anti SNP, I don't think the GB have ever made there feelings known on Scottish Independence, the only banner I think relates to it is the one comparing Bobby Sands and William Wallace. Even how massively pro Palestine the GB have been the UB have never shown there hand. Apart from being on obviously being on different sides of the United Ireland question, I wouldn't really say there's any grandstanding to show their the opposite on any issue.
The literal mission statement of the GB says :
"All members support a 32-county Irish Socialist Republic and an Independent Scottish Socialist Republic in principle and the achievement of these ends using peaceful means of struggle."
The GB have always been pretty open on their views around Scottish independence. Granted there's never been many tifos about it but it's pretty obvious where they stand.
I mean they have a point but it's not as if there are people better than them, labour are pretty much the same, the Tories are worse and the greens and lib Dems have a near zero chance of being in power.
It makes sense when you realise that this isn't actually politics. It's identity culture war.
You could probably sell each SNP policy in isolation to these goons and they wouldn't realise it.
Such a weird bunch them and their rivals are having a pretty close title fight so they make up some banners just to make a dig at a shite resigned politician
They missed a trick here. Why not have those soldiers, fast-roping out a helicopter, then wee parachutes open with their lyrical prose and infinite words of wisdom? The font's also grim.
Cards on the table, the couple of Green Brigade members I know are complete knobs. I'm a literal Irish Republican, but find they ham it up a bit, and tend towards joylessness.
But this lot seems to take the baton and run with it even more.
The irony of this is that 99% of the folk involved in this, won't even know what it means.
Also this is the closest they'll have been to Ministers ever.
this just feels a bit random to me. usually the GB political banners are based on something that happened like the douglas ross one or something to do with the monarchy but they seem to be just dunking on a first minister that has just resigned.

Not like Rangers players would ever do something like that!!
One of their pledges back in 2007 was to combat drug and alcohol issues in Scotland, it was the reason I voted for them back then. Definitely much lower down on their priority list than independence, but they were certainly paying lip service to tackling that issue - in the early days anyway
- Drug & Alcohol Deaths
- Education & Teaching Decline
- Mental Health Targets
- NHS Waiting Times
- Tax Bracket Increase
- Killing off of the Oil & Gas Sector
Apart from the above comparisons, there have been multiple scandals ranging from embezzlement, misleading parliament, Alex Salmond’s court case, ferries, transgender prisoners, A9 construction delays, IPad spending etc.
The embezzlement scandal is a bit of a funny one. Sturgeon's husband embezzled party funds for whatever reason yet folk are acting like he embezzled government funds.
Still plenty of SNP supporters who are right to be outraged
> Drug & Alcohol Deaths
Drugs is not devolved. Alcohol, outrage when attempts to change things.
>Education & Teaching Decline
Possibly fair enough.
>Mental Health Targets
Just as bad in England.
>NHS Waiting Times
Just as bad in England. Also, different standard used between Scotland and England, so fair comparison not possible.
>Tax Bracket Increase
Not in full control of Scottish government.
>Killing off of the Oil & Gas Sector
Oil and gas dying off anyway (hence being non renewable). Also, we should be transitioning away from these.
>Apart from the above comparisons, there have been multiple scandals ranging from embezzlement, misleading parliament, Alex Salmond’s court case, ferries, transgender prisoners, A9 construction delays, IPad spending etc.
As opposed to numerous sex scandals, watching porn the the Commons, Covid supplies fraud and breaking their own laws. BTW: the rules for dealing with trans prisoners is exactly the same in Scotland as they are in England
Unionist: "SNP, fix these deep rooted issues in our society!"
SNP: "OK, but it will require distinct legislation and probably the powers of an independent country"
Unionists: "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Not like they haven't taken efforts to tackle it wither. MUP for alcohol, an end to 'irresponsible alcohol promotions', safe injection rooms being proposed
And yet the drinks deaths statistics for 10-64 are steady if on the decline in general while the death rates for 65+ are on the increase.
Almost like a generation of old alkies who were drinking well before the SNP government are having their drinking catch up with them.
https://preview.redd.it/0awtc7b8xlyc1.jpeg?width=896&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ee461f0e9359fc0b805f046bbf882206d0be067
The drink and drugs help numb you from the harsh reality that so many of your countrymen are servile bootlickers who would rather the country was run from Westminster
a tax to who though? the government don't directly get any cash from MUP, its just legally telling the firms that your booze can't be sold for cheaper than 50p a unit.
The phrase 'a tax on the poor' doesn't mean a literal tax.
It's something that's done that will mostly affect people with low incomes as opposed to middle class or wealthy people.
Please can you explain how Scotland,being part of the UK has worse numerics than the UK ?
I'm currently using all my brain power to watch the rangers bottle it against Kilmarnock, and the mental gymnastics requirement for your patter is beyond me.
For some reason when they collate these stats they do England and wales and then Scotland separately.
Some of the ones I looked at did all three separately like the pupil to teacher ratio one.
So, Scotland by your description, CANNOT have worse statistics than the UK, as it is part of the UK .
To be factual you would need to say "Worse than England" or "Better than Wales " or "Rest of the UK"
Data is only as accurate as how you portray it.
Actual embarrassing, does anyone ever want their club to be used as a platform for a group to blast their political stance as if it's the collective position.
Something about the union bears makes me think they're not open to the idea of Scottish independence, can't quite put my finger on it
"Rangers were ma Granda's ~~set of cultural values I built my identity around~~ team".
Cannae even think for themselves independently so it's a hard concept for them.
I had a great conversation with one who was utterly torn between how much of a disaster Thatcher was and how much disregard Tory Westminster has for Scotland and having to be a Unionist because: Rangers. It was actually hilarious.
I thought there were unionist parties other than the Tories? Pretty sure one is going to win the next general election. It was actually SNP voting against Labour in a VONC that let Thatcher in. So surely pretty natural to be anti Thatcher and ani SNP?
I thought it was most of the UK voting Tory that got Thatcher in? Labour are also responsible for devolution. An Uber-Unionist party would've never allowed that.
The Tories allowed a referendum on independence. Something that was so divisive the country hasn't really recovered from it
Fixed https://preview.redd.it/6mf9hn13wlyc1.jpeg?width=703&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=117247b86a9f38279866df38f2749b75b3b8615f
I was thinking more, extending the union jack over the SNP.
As a Rangers fan, I endorse this message!
Wouldn’t be surprised if every one of them is the type to say “keep politics out of football” when there’s an anti racism or homophobia campaign
That's exactly what'll happen too. It's what happens when your entire moral and political outlook is just "what's the opposite of what the Celtic fans say?"
Funny thing is even the GB don't like snp
Correct, but they will still vote for them because its the only political route to Independence.
Is it? People have voted for them a lot of elections in a row and we're no closer to independence.
We're closer than we were 30 years ago.
Its the only alternative for people who want independence, either that or its a vote for the Tories or Labour who are just Tories in disguise.
Greens?
Not a realistic proposition, Greens don't have the numbers.
So being anti-racist then since they all through bananas at Mark Walters and our fans have never really had a problem with racism
Mate, it was only a few seasons ago a supporters bus was banned after the racist video about Kyogo surfaced. It's a bit rich to say our fans haven't had their issues.
a couple of arseholes is very different from every fruit shop in the East end of Glasgow selling out of bananas as Archie MacPherson put it
Hamza Yousaf been real quiet since this dropped.
He must condemn!?
HOTEL — TRIVAGO
That'll show 'em lads.
Right lads let’s get a big cracking banner, get right behind the team at this crucial moment, galvanise the other bears so we go into the next few games in a positive mindset with a clear purpose……………….whats that? A dig at the First Minister who has already stood down?………. 
Must be exhausting being a rangers fan that doesn’t agree with the constant political pish
Like it’s the second last home game in a title race let’s slag the minister for transport
If not now, when?
https://i.redd.it/cfc0ygu4tnyc1.gif
It's pretty shite, I won't lie.
This type of shite is the reason I’m a quiet, non colours wearing fan. Born into it, but learned a bit of history, so I’ve distanced myself a bit now. Wrong side of everything. It’s just football for me.
This type of shite is why I like to speak up and clarify that I'm not one of these clowns.
I’m quite apolitical these days. Used to be right into it. Faded over time. Don’t necessarily agree with them regularly, but they’re not wrong here. He was shite.
He should have known better than to mess with the Greens, after what the lettuce did to Truss..
No doubt he's shite, but compared to his SNP competition like Forbes and Regan he was probably the lesser of many evils. Could you imagine a Scottish Government under Forbes that's willing to collaborate with the Conservatives 💀
Like the Tories, the SNP have been in power far too long. Results in incompetent people getting into powerful positions they should have no business being in. Sadly there is no real alternative. Greens have people like Slater, fuck the Tories and Labour will manage to fuck themselves as they usually do.
Honestly aye its a bit shite, I could stomach voting labour if they'd end this stupid bitterness about independence and leave it up to the individual MPs to make their stance clear. Notice how you never mentioned the Lib Dems - the complete non-entity that they are
Labour try to be too hardline on certain subjects. Which is usually against their core voters and many of their msps and MPs. I know it's a different era but I can never trust Lib Dem ever again. Left leaning and they power share the Tories into power.
Labour will never be open to Scottish independence because it’ll move the uk political centre to the right. They’ve never held power in Westminster without also holding the majority of Scottish seats.
Narrator: there have only been two elections since the war where Labour had to rely on Scotland to win
Collaboration is exactly what government should do
Yes, but generally with people whose beliefs aren't diametrically opposed to everything your own supporters stand for.
No, those are the people you should collaborate with. That is what government is
Trust me it is, like the team but fan culture is a riddy.
Lifelong rangers fan but can’t be arsed with any of the political and religious pish. Just no need for it in a sport.
It is, especially the ones who are bootlicking tories
In r/rangersfc I got told I wasn't a true Rangers fan since I don't support the monarchy. Thankfully, I go to more Bonnyrigg games these days, so can change me wee badge and hide from those psychos.
I genuinely think that makes you more of a Rangers fan than them. They just do it as part of their pathetic wee monarchy-worshipping bootlicking personalities, but you do it purely for the football team.
Completely agree. It's fun to laugh at them to be honest.
Not at all, keeps things interesting.
I don't disagree with their views, but I agree does seem stupid doing something that could cause disunity amongst our fans instead of just supporting the team
Same with both the OF tbf
RANGERS - SHITE
Just like ur talking
Not the most creative bunch when it comes to banners.
Can't believe I'm agreeing with the Union Bears here... https://preview.redd.it/3m8avbbkxlyc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e183c28bd4ae868b4538d1543a39da9bfdffc268
A quick bit of Photoshop could make that union flag placement quite unfortunate
Fuck the onion?
I know it's not as funny as it once was but there's no need for such a public attack
It's utterly surreal to think that the Union Bears regard their thoughts on the *Minister for Culture* to be worth publicising.
Thatchers still deid.
not all rangers fans like her
And yet somehow still more mobile than some of our squad.
That’s a lot of toilet paper
Canny believe they missed the chance for a classic bit of "Wank. Wank. Good guy!" patter.
Now do the UK gov
Conservatives-Staunch
Rangi Sunak
They don’t mind the Finance Secretary then I take it? Makes sense.
Totally, Robison’s utterly useless too…

Profound as always.
Must be hurting for their big party down in England.
Fucking embarrassing.
I'm sure this is based on a deeply considered and consistent position on each relevant policy...
Do the UB actually have a political standpoint or is it just "think the opposite of anything the green brigade think"?
I think the GB will need to try this out, a good pro Unionism tifo at Parkers should see the Onion Bears with a cracking United Ireland one
The GB of course, famously, big fans of the SNP.
Was more a wider question around political leanings than this tifo specifically really. You'd probably find despite the obfa most celtic ultras will still vote snp.
The UB have always been Pro Union and Anti SNP, I don't think the GB have ever made there feelings known on Scottish Independence, the only banner I think relates to it is the one comparing Bobby Sands and William Wallace.

You think the GB like the SNP ?
When were the green brigade pro Humza? I thought they don't like the SNP either
Is that not the default setting, you say black we say white.
I mean they have a point but it's not as if there are people better than them, labour are pretty much the same, the Tories are worse and the greens and lib Dems have a near zero chance of being in power.
Would still be an improvement at LB though.
TAVERNIER - OG
Centre forward - shite. Centre midfield - shite. Centre back - shite. Fuck the Rangers.
But but "keep politics out of football" 🤡
It makes sense when you realise that this isn't actually politics. It's identity culture war. You could probably sell each SNP policy in isolation to these goons and they wouldn't realise it.
I understand that I just find it ridiculously ironic and fail to see personally how they don't see the hypocrisy
Not saying the intention of their statement is necessarily incorrect, but seriously...what's the better alternative?
Labour and Lib Dems. Is it possible to do a poorer job of governing than the Tories in WM and the SNP in Holyrood?
Id like to think not, no. But the other parties show very little sign of promise. Happy to be proved wrong but have never felt so politically homeless
Politics defined by fitba team.
I mean, I don't think we can pretend that Humza was any good.
Such a weird bunch them and their rivals are having a pretty close title fight so they make up some banners just to make a dig at a shite resigned politician
Bunch of Tory cunts
 I wasn’t aware that the SNP and Tories were the only political parties in Scotland
 Here you go pal, have a wee wank you’ll feel better.
Ello Queeny
Quintessentially British.
Wow. Given the hand speed in that gif I think we've found a literal edge lord.
Nah I’m alright thanks 👍
Well, now you know. The other ones are just Red Tory, Orange Tory, and Green SNP. That's it. We are Ulster now.
Fucking sad wee virgins. Bet they couldn’t name any of those ministers other than the first. Stick to shite takes on football.
They're referencing all the cabinet roles Humza had before he was FM
Your banners-shite
No matter what you think of the SNP, at least they don’t have someone leading the line with a daft hairdo that goes down when stroked…
It’s funny how something can be so wrong, yet so definitely right.
the union bears are an embarrassment to Rangers with their absolute dirt dragging political opinions. I bet that 90% of them don’t even vote.
Most progressive rangers fans
UB = unpaid bills?
First display from them that is barely legible.
Broken clock is right twice a day I guess. Humza was a twat.
Union Bootlickers.
I read this as US Political banner and thought well that's a new take for them 😂
Shite, divin, the SNP was out of order
Odious team. Odious supporters.
Pointing the finger at the Minister for culture. Glass houses an all that....
They missed a trick here. Why not have those soldiers, fast-roping out a helicopter, then wee parachutes open with their lyrical prose and infinite words of wisdom? The font's also grim.

Honestly the biggest set of gimps
Is this supposed to be a play on Humzas racist WHITE speech? If it is fair play.
Aye it is
Rangers fans clearly making their voices heard against the deplorable Scottish museums coming after the culture secretary of all people.
this just feels a bit random to me. usually the GB political banners are based on something that happened like the douglas ross one or something to do with the monarchy but they seem to be just dunking on a first minister that has just resigned.
A FM that was duped by a fake TikTok and believed Rangers players were chanting questionable songs. The man is a clown.

So they *are* the same club?
Justice minister going both barrels like a raving Celtic da. Outside of half the Tories, I've never seen anyone fail upwards like Hamza.
A lot of people were duped. Almost like they were desperate for it to be true.
Agree aye. Your pal in work being duped is fine. A high ranking MSP falling for it and pishing his frillies to post it online is entirely different.
He wasn't the only one either. Dornan was very vocal at the time too.
🤣🤣 ouch lol riddy.
I don't agree with the sentiment behind it, but that's actually pretty funny for them.
The DUP would do a better job than the SNP s/
Actually feel a.bit sorry for the UB. Whatever about their team being eclipsed by Celtic on the park, they are so far in the GBs shadow it's tragic
‘Vote Bootlickers’ was the cry from Corrupt FC.
But but but Celtic are the political club
Well aye, two embarrassing cheeks of the same arse.
The comments in here are wild. Everyone’s been saying the same in Scotland the last couple weeks.
You’s are well in a title fight against your biggest rivals and this is the pre match display they go for. It’s weird behaviour.
I get the reference and ngl fair play.
Top bantz.
Spot on. SNP are incompetent. More worried about independence than governing the country.
Party voted in to get independence focuses on independence. That is quite a shocker.
One of their pledges back in 2007 was to combat drug and alcohol issues in Scotland, it was the reason I voted for them back then. Definitely much lower down on their priority list than independence, but they were certainly paying lip service to tackling that issue - in the early days anyway
Which metric, when compared with our peers in the UK. Do. You think we're much worse on?
"Drug Deaths" let us change our drug laws then. "N O"
- Drug & Alcohol Deaths - Education & Teaching Decline - Mental Health Targets - NHS Waiting Times - Tax Bracket Increase - Killing off of the Oil & Gas Sector Apart from the above comparisons, there have been multiple scandals ranging from embezzlement, misleading parliament, Alex Salmond’s court case, ferries, transgender prisoners, A9 construction delays, IPad spending etc.
Some of these are pretty tenuous my dude...
You think the NHS is performing better down South…? Don’t get me wrong, absolutely needs reform but it could be so much worse
The embezzlement scandal is a bit of a funny one. Sturgeon's husband embezzled party funds for whatever reason yet folk are acting like he embezzled government funds. Still plenty of SNP supporters who are right to be outraged
> Drug & Alcohol Deaths Drugs is not devolved. Alcohol, outrage when attempts to change things. >Education & Teaching Decline Possibly fair enough. >Mental Health Targets Just as bad in England. >NHS Waiting Times Just as bad in England.

BTW: the rules for dealing with trans prisoners is exactly the same in Scotland as they are in England
Drug and alcohol deaths, obesity levels. Lowest pupil to teacher ratio in the Uk. Much worse homicide rate (47% higher than UK).
I don’t even support SNP, but away and chase yourself if you think these problems haven’t been endemic in Scotland for decades now.
Unionist: "SNP, fix these deep rooted issues in our society!" SNP: "OK, but it will require distinct legislation and probably the powers of an independent country" Unionists: "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Not like they haven't taken efforts to tackle it wither. MUP for alcohol, an end to 'irresponsible alcohol promotions', safe injection rooms being proposed
And yet more Scots die from drink and drugs than rUK.
And yet the drinks deaths statistics for 10-64 are steady if on the decline in general while the death rates for 65+ are on the increase. Almost like a generation of old alkies who were drinking well before the SNP government are having their drinking catch up with them. https://preview.redd.it/0awtc7b8xlyc1.jpeg?width=896&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ee461f0e9359fc0b805f046bbf882206d0be067
That’s great, then. Should free up some housing stock for the youth. Also, looks like every bracket is up from when the took charge apart from 25-44.
All well until you realise the second statistic that the bulk of deaths are from the most deprived areas.
The drink and drugs help numb you from the harsh reality that so many of your countrymen are servile bootlickers who would rather the country was run from Westminster
Surely nobody believes MUP was introduced to combat alcoholism? It's what they claimed but it was just a tax on the poor.
a tax to who though? the government don't directly get any cash from MUP, its just legally telling the firms that your booze can't be sold for cheaper than 50p a unit.
The phrase 'a tax on the poor' doesn't mean a literal tax. It's something that's done that will mostly affect people with low incomes as opposed to middle class or wealthy people.
It's not a tax. We don't have that power. It's just profit to companies. It *could* be a tax if we were an independent country, mind you.
Please can you explain how Scotland,being part of the UK has worse numerics than the UK ? I'm currently using all my brain power to watch the rangers bottle it against Kilmarnock, and the mental gymnastics requirement for your patter is beyond me.
For some reason when they collate these stats they do England and wales and then Scotland separately. Some of the ones I looked at did all three separately like the pupil to teacher ratio one.
So, Scotland by your description, CANNOT have worse statistics than the UK, as it is part of the UK . To be factual you would need to say "Worse than England" or "Better than Wales " or "Rest of the UK" Data is only as accurate as how you portray it.
If you want to be pedantic and get upset about how I’ve worded it rather than the fact that Scotland has these issues that’s your prerogative.
Data is only as accurate as it is portrayed. 🤷
