Jimmy Johnstone played at a time when there were less internationals and whole load of good wingers, his cap total is not down to any anti-Irish bigotry. Johnstone was Scottish not Irish.

We are the People you mean.

Quite right Jim McL. It’s only those blue nosed-royalist-loyalist-orange-lodge-bastards that are the problem. We’re perfect.

The last paragraph should have explained the disastrous impact of Rangers fans hooliganism on the image of a club currently for sale.

Naked sectarianism and racism goes unreported or unpunished by authorites who, when pressed admit as much. Even the football anti-racism group refused to condemn the “Famine Song” until pressed the Irish Government earlier this year. The problem is written-off as, Ach it’s only Rangers and Celtic at it again- They’re just two sides of the same coin!

This not only panders to the racists and bigots, it taints the innocent by association. Celtic Park has since Land Leaguer, Michael Davitt laid a sod of shamrocks to commemorate the club, been the meeting point for the Irish in Scotland and a focus for anti-establishment pro-republucan sentiment. As far as the establishment in scotland is concerned this amounts to the same thing as sectarianism, and the label sectarianism allows racism to be swept under a carpet which is……Just Celtic and Rangers at it again, they’re as bad as each other, you know!

The above has allowed the capitalist bastards who own Celtic and Rangers to feed-off each other under the guise of the “Old-Firm.” For years they have dominated and squeezed the other teams in Scotland, robbing the best talent, and consequently most of the trophies. Rangers in 1967 even felt sufficiently dominant to refuse to employ Catholics. They only changed this unwritten rule around twenty years later. The Scottish Football Association remains a retirement home for former Rangers men, who bend over backwards for “the” Rangers. Celtic feeds off this pro Rangers bias, ever an excuse for not matching their supporters ambitions!

Now the “Old Firm” see their salvation in that promised land south of the border. Have been rejected by the EPL(turkeys don’t vote for Christmas)both Celtic and Rangers are undergoing a major downsizing exercise.

While Celtic are obsessed with zero debt (Billionare major shareholder Dermot Desmond seems to have put Celtic on the back-burner pending an invitation from some sooper dooper league), Rangers are tens of millions in the red, and part of a larger company which may be nearly a billion in debt. The “bank is now running the club” according to Rangers manager Walter Smith. All players are for sale in the January window as the bank attempts to recoup its losses.

Since Rangers are skint(not to mention the odious lumpen hordes in their support) and Celtic Plc stupidly believes the title (and Champions League money) will be theirs almost by default…….the door is open to Hibs, Dundee United or Aberdeen to make a challenge. I’d love to see it.

but come on the arabs! dundee united fucking rule,we smashed the celts and we are comin for the huns,

hands off sfa cos levein’s no leavin’….
