An update on the original story, the lads father who was interviewed on radio 5 live last night said it wasn't a rangers top the attacker was wearing, but a scotland top... not that make any bit of difference, just thought I'd inform you all what was said by the lads father on radio last night. Take your points (Gazza and Craig) about the England top, it was just a suggestion and something I would have liked to seen happening thats all. Cammy F

UEFA only recognise 4 and 5 star stadia so technically, The Towers is on a par with the likes for Albion Rovers, Cowdenbeath and Alloas grounds Cammy F

It hasn't, but the lad was attacked by a 'Rangers' fan for being English (although he's not) and for wearing an England top. For that reason, I would like for him to see that the vast majority of Rangers fans have no problem with the English, or anyone wearing an England top (and I would say the same no matter what top the lad was wearing). Cammy F

Yeah, but in PR terms for Rangers, this is a huge step forward. I would have had the boy as a mascot as well and had him take the field in his England top to show that the vast majority of Rangers fans have no problems with anyone wearing such a top. Cammy F

I have just been reading another forum and a poster stated that Ibrox is the only UEFA 5 Star Stadium that HASN'T hosted a European Final. If this is true, it is another indication of how low esteam the SFA hold Rangers in. Basically, for Ibrox to host a European Final, all the SFA have to do is nominate Ibrox to UEFA and we would receive a final..... Cammy F

Craig, drop me a PM about this and include your email addy if you want as I am one of the most forgetfull people in the world m8...!!!! And keep reminding me about this!!! Cammy F

Was going to post this in the thread that was created for the attack on the wee boy in Edinburgh, but it has been hijacked and lost its way... Anyway, Rangers have contacted the wee lad involved and invited him and his family to a game and the chance to meet the players. The lad and his father who haven't been to any football game are delighted with the offer and are looking forward to it. Rangers have also asked the Police to forward them the name of the attacker if / when found and he will be banned from Ibrox for life. http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/edinburgh.cfm?id=914292006 Cammy F

Calscot, where and when I sing GSTQ has fuck all to do with you if I am honest. But I'll humour you - I sing it at the BB's, I sing it at the cricket, I sing it at Last Night At The Proms, basically anywhere it is played, I'll join in. So what, I'm patriotic, if that makes me a 'nutter' in your book, no real loss to me... Go back and reread your OWN posts, you at no point stated that your bile and gernalisation was aimed at 'sections' of the Rangers support. In fact, you clearly typed ; Rangers supporters and 'their' - so you were, IMO implying that ALL Rangers supporters..... As for other clubs singing the national anthem. Personally, I have heard Newcastle, Leeds, Sunderland, Arsenal, Linfield and Glentorn fans join in when Rangers fans sung this (and other songs). But, hey what would I know, I was only at the games in question and heard it with my own ears. Maybe I was hearing things tho - I'll get my ears checked ASAP. As for my hate of Craptic - big deal - here was me thinking that what a football rivalry was. However, thanks to your insight, I have ditched my Rangers scarf and season ticket and have bought a Craptic one instead I will also make it my duty to pollute footballing messageboards pleading with fans to stop 'hating' their rivals and start to 'love' them. Not that it is any of your business, I have close family and friends who are Catholic and Craptic supporters. I get on great with them believe it or not, and have had and will continue to treat them and any other Tim that is nice to me with the respect that they deserve.... As for having these same opinons if my name was Shaun O'Shaunassy from Glasgow via Dublin? Who the fuck would I know? In fact, if you bother to read some of my old rants on the old board, or any of my articles in No1 Fanzine, you'll find that I am not one for 'running with the in-crowd'. I like to make my own mind up Calscot and I have been successful using this mantra in my life so far. If I were to have ran with the 'in-crowd' at School whilst growing up, I certainly wouldn't have been a Rangers supporters, conservative (with a small c), a Unionist. In fact, I would probably have grown up the exact opposite. Calscot, I may fail to measure up to your image / standard of a Scotsman and a Rangers fan, but hey, I'll not lose any sleep over it. Maybe we can have a pint the next time your up watching The Bears and maybe then you'll understand me and my love for my country, nation and football team. As I said above, you've done a great job of turning this thread about racist, thuggish and scumbag Scots into a personal grudge against me and other sections of the Rangers support.... Cammy F

You'll probably get 3 or 4 in your allocation gersfem - probably DAFC, Motherwell, Killie and Dundee UTD. If you are lucky you might even get one of the big 3 - just remember that Craptic don't offer concesions... As I said, if our club have any spares, I'll post on here as soon as I know, but like I said most of the time its when we get to the bus that we find out folks have not turned up... Cammy F

Most are actually OK gersfem depending on how we are playing at the time and what time KO is etc. The only games that you don't see tickets for sale at (on the day of the game) are Hearts, Hibs and Craptic. The other games you'll pick up tickets outside the ground / bus park etc quite easily. Our RSC usually get left with tickets for most away games and we are usually to be seen selling these outside of a pub near the ground or trying to sell them to Del and his dodgy Fife m8's..... If I know in enough time, I'll post any spares for away games on here, but it is usually when we get on the bus that we know we have spares as folks don't turn up when they say they will.... Cammy F

Does it, Jim didn't think so and we have agreed on some points raised and agreed to disagree on other.... This topic has gone of on a tangent - instead of debating vile, racist attacks it is somehow managed to become a topic where one Rangers fan questions the political and religous believes and opinions of others. 'Their role model' - is that the entire Rangers support, which you are one, or just some Calscot? I am really struggling to get what you arte suggesting here.... Cammy F

Can only speak for myself, that statement is utter rubbish. I sing these songs due to the pride in my nation - no other reason. Again, I can only speak for myself, this is more Utter Pish Calscot. I am pro-Rangers, Pro-Union, Pro-conservative (small c), pro-Church Of Scotland and proud of all that. I am anti-Pope, but that comes from my christian believes and has nothing to do with Rangers. I detest his stance on religion, abortions, homosexuals, aids, condoms etc. I do hate anything to do with Craptic, that is natural in a football supporter. I hate them ffor purely footballing reasons. In saying that, its most pitty rather than hate to be honest. Can't see what you are trying to get at here Calscot.... Cammy F

I don't think we are, maybe its because I am comfortable with the whole British & Scottish 'joint' identity However, like you say, we have taken steps to regain our Scottishness and I think, no matter how they have gone about this, the club has to be congratulated for this. As for RB and GSTQ, I can see where you are coming from, but if we can get the numpties who salute during these songs, then I can't see the problem. England fans sing these songs with pride and gustto and without the salutes, hopefully we can be the same Cammy F

That'll be you banned then I think it is a very recent thing that Rangers fans believe that they must follow a certain political expression, but that can't be further from the truth. Many Rangers fans are socialist and many will want an independant Scotland. I for one would never want every Rangers fan to have the same political agenda as myself, that isn't want supporting Rangers is about.... Cammy F - One Faith, One Crown, One Union Loyal RSC

Jim, with all due respect, and being an admin, I think it highly unlikely, that you would get banned for having a differing opinion from others. Actually, really disappointed that you think that would happen.. Cammy F

According to the Herald, Fan Fan and Gavin Rae have also been told (along with Boab) to find other clubs. Cammy F

Not the worst start, I was sure we would have had back to back away games at Inverness and Aberdeen!!! Another positive is that we get plenty tickets for Motherwell... Cammy F

Jim, if people are free to support who ever they want at football, surely the same rule applies to tennis.... As for Joke McConnells and Andy Murrays comments, these were made before the English media responded. They were responding to the 'anti-English' comments of Murray and McConnell. As for the mhedia, have you read people like McNees and Leckies comments regarding the English? The gutter press in both countries are as bad as each other. As for your vote for independance, good for you, if it takes a vote away from Labour I am more that happy for you - and the SNP need all the votes they can get at the moment. However, this takes away from what has actually happened here. A 7-year old kid and a disabled man have been attacked by vile, racist scumbags - end of story. Cammym F

I will drop them an email - as for making a grat Gers employee, thanks for the compliment, but Mr Bain doesn't employ Rangers fans...... he stated as much at a recent AGM.... Cammy F

You are correct craig - the incident in Aberdeen the police are looking for a men in his 40's, well built and wearing a donkey jacket.... Seperate incidents and unrelated, well apart from them being racist attacks. Cammy F

Actually Danny, the kid was from New Zealand... not that that makes a blind bit of difference.... IMO, Rangers should invite this wee lad thro to Ibrox for the first home game of the season to show him what the 'real Rangers' fans are like. Cammy F

Sorry, can't agree with that - and if you read the initial post, the Police are treating this as a RACIST and a football related attack. I quote - Mr Smith said: "He was a psychopath, it was a totally unprovoked racist attack because I was wearing an England top and displaying an England flag." Cammy F

But what happens, if god forbid, we don't qualify for the CL? Your right, but on an interview with RR (or was it Chick Dung) Murray did say that there were 2 or 3 other finacial deals to be announced and these would mean substantial investment and money for the new manager - this was after PLG appiontment was announced. It is furstrating, but after the excitment of getting PLG, it appears that Murray has hoodwinked us again.

That was what was indicated. Now, I didn't think it would be as much as 18M, but I thought that PLG would be given substantial funds as he as a huge job on his hands. However, it appears that Mr Murray has lied to us again and I've just read a rueters report that PLG has stated that Clement is 'out of our price range' at the moment - that is a truely worrying statement. So, I'll ask again - excuse me Mr Murray, where has all the money gone? Cammy F
