No manners

Families supporting Celtic, Hearts, And Motherwell at yesterdays Scottish masters event at Braehead arena were shocked at the behaviour of Rangers supporters as they taunted rival supporters at what is a family fun event. Although it was a minority of the Rangers support that sang the vile songs and chants they were clearly heard.


Gillian Scott from Kilsyth took her Two sons to the game after winning tickets on a Celtic website and was forced to move seats as Rangers supporters sang songs that were not appropriate to a family day out. Gillian would not repeat what songs were sung but pointed us to a well known Rangers website and we Followed her directions to their Scottish masters section where the messageboard users posted

our supporters started chanting 'who sh***** all the boys'!!

"you still get carried away. I was giving it the We are the People "


Gillian commented "Most of the supporters were there for a day of fun but when i complained to the guys who were singing and shouting about child molesters that my kids were with me I got told to F**k off. I dont need that at a Sunday afternoon game and when I complained to the people at the front door I got told to move seat. In fairness there was a family next to me decked out in Rangers tops and they also complained to the people who were shouting but they also got told to F**k off back to your fenain pals

The Scottish masters is a great day out and this very small group of fans were the exception and families mixed freely at an event which gives everyone a chance to see Celtic and Rangers in action. The Braehead arena becomes alive with noise and PA announcements and the behaviour of a small minority does not spoil the day for the majority of people.

Violence ensues once again down in England for Rangers fans

It was supposed to be Ranger’s last friendly of the pre-season, however it seems that some fans don’t know the meaning of the word friendly. According to reports in a local Portsmouth based newspaper, Rangers and Portsmouth fans clashed following the club’s match this afternoon, which Portsmouth won 2-0. Fans threw bottles at one another outside the entrance to Fratton Station in Goldsmith Avenue. Despite a good natured atmosphere before and during the match, the atmosphere turned sour as violence flared up an hour after the final whistle.

Fans from both sides were reportedly involved in the clash, around Smiffy’s Bar on Goldsmith Avenue, which was packed with post-match drinkers. Witnesses at the scene described how drinkers were left bloodied by the broken glass and fighting.

Once police arrived, the road was closed off to allow them to break-up the fighting and disperse the crowd. Several Rangers fans were arrested, but police have yet to disclose how many and what the people were arrested for.
