If I thought that 60% of Rangers supporters would vote for independance I would call a referendum right now . My own personal sampling of friends and colleagues is unfortunately much smaller than that . Though I dont think for one minute simply supporting Rangers is the reason most of them voted no.

There is a sizeable number that buy into the whole identity side of Protestant (but probably never been in a church in years)/Rangers/Britain/pro-Monarchy/pro-Union/SNPBad/anti-Independence that it's hard to know where the motivation starts. Personally I hold to the view that if your politics are driven by the football team you support you're an idiot and should think for yourself.

Unfortunately idiots do not think for themselves, and IMO Rangers have more than a fair share of idiots in their support. I would not however put the Rangers supporters on this board in that category, regardless of their politics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I have found quite alot of my rangers supporting mates to be independence supporters but I live in the Highlands and am willing to bet that in alot of places in the west of Scotland and in Ayrshire that there will be higher percentage of rangers fans who are die hard unionists.Saying that I think on a whole there is relatively large minority of rangers fans who are pro indy and I have met plenty from all across Scotland to back this up.

Ally Bongo Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 It's a strange situation John Calvin and John Knox were doing their stuff when Scotland was Independent from England so Protestantism doesnt begin and end with the Union Think there's been a lot of brainwashing that a lot have bought into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt a small sampling anywhere is likely to provide an accurate reflection , and I accept there are pockets in the West of Scotland where supporters are more likely to be stronger unionists than the average. It is reassuring to know my own personal experience, which is probably 80/20 against independence, is not reflective of the Rangers support in general.

And of course even after the union of the crowns, Scotland remained independent for another century. Sadly there are some mindless people about. I know one leaflet produced by a Rangers fan in 2014 proclaimed Alex Salmond as an out and out papist, ignoring totally that Alex is a protestant and lifelong fan of protestant Hearts. For some the truth is irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
