ghorne67 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I wasn’t on the terraces in the 70s and 80s, I’ll take you’re word for it but that’s certainly never been my experience, in fact if anything I’d say there was a bit of an anti-Rangers element to the support these days what with the booing of the queen, booing of god save the queen, booing of Ryan Jack. Celtic have easily provided more players than any other team the last 10 or so years, don’t ever recall hearing any of them being targeted because they were Celtic players. Been away to Ireland the last two times and didn’t hear a peep of sectarianism. Home and away fans getting on like a house on fire. 8 hours ago, slasher said: Mmmm, I don’t really go in for all that. As far as criticism of Celtic goes, if it’s due I’m usually amongst the first to say so on here. On this occasion it’s unjustified. If you’re denying that a section of the tartan army have a problem in that regard then you are wrong. They may not be as numerous or as vocal as they once were in the 70’s & 80’s but they’re still there and I’m not putting up with them, either on here, at Hampden or on an away trip and that’s that! 8 hours ago, slasher said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is being anti-monarchist somehow anti-Rangers ? Were you upset when Mrs Windsor died ? Is the monarchy important to you ? It certainly isn't to many posters on this forum. Ryan Jack got booed by some teenagers at a friendly played at Pittodrie a few years ago. That was wrong but I doubt Jack lost any sleep over it. It also has not happened since. Maybe it's time for you to get over it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have been a bit selective there but I sense we are going down a rabbit hole and aren’t going to agree. Just for balance though, the Irish anthem was also booed recently and the Ryan Jack thing was all about Aberdeen fans. GSTQ was always booed even when Rangers fans were in the majority at Hampden. Anyway, we’ll just have to agree to disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers certainly aren’t my team and i’m no fan of Ryan Jack, wouldn’t have him anywhere near the squad based on ability. I’d be surprised if any fan disputed that Rangers are the most disliked team within Scottish football. Their links to The Union/The Monarchy play a part in that.

Everton are playing Celtic in Australia. Will be great to see how Ramsay does anyway. That's us down to 20 players, including 3 goalies. Not much point in calling any one else up. 17 outfield players is ample for 1 friendly game. McTominay, Tierney, Fraser, Gilmour and McGinn are all lacking game time lately, so I'd start all 5. Probably worth subbing on a goalie as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't even playing much for Motherwell. So you couldn't even argue he deserves to be called up on club form. He is likely 5th in the pecking order now. Honestly, I'd rather see the likes of Hendry, McTominay or even Fraser fill in at RWB in an emergency if 3 out of our top 4 RBs are out again. (Unlikely) I'm happy for Gordon to add to his tally of caps. But no reason he needs to get a full 90mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Not bothered one bit about the call offs, we know what these lads can do. Bring in more untested players.

He couldn't cut it at Hibs, didn't cut it in Portugal the way Scottish players who went abroad at the same age did or are doing (Hickey,Doig, Ferguson) currently in Italy.
