You do not give me the origins of this alleged insulting word or why it should be taken as an insult The Fenian word used for them is easy to find the origin “a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, a 19th-century revolutionary nationalist organization among the Irish in the US and Ireland. The Fenians staged an unsuccessful revolt in Ireland in 1867 and were responsible for isolated revolutionary acts against the British until the early 20th century, when they were gradually eclipsed by the IRA.” The N word we know derives from the colours Negro in Spanish , Negre in French so it appertaining to colour of skin. That in itself is not offensive ,it did become corrupted and hence it s now unacceptable to use the N word EXCEPT when those of African American origin talk amongst themselves then it is apparently acceptable. Therefore I ask again is HUN derived from the Germanic Royal family in UK and our supports allegiance towards said crown? I think we need to know why it is an insult not just because someone says, well it just is because I say so. If I am to be so offended I want to know why.

Why are they the Huns ,and so called ? I thought we were the Huns?

I am seriously asking this ,do you take offense at being known as ,or referred to as a Hun? I had a Twitter ‘spat’ with someone suggesting this is a ‘sectarian insult’ I have to say I have never viewed it as such and always believed it derived from the loyalty shown by many of a Rangers persuasion to the incumbent ones in Buck Palace the Saxe Gotha Coburg / Windsor’s since WWI. ,however most certainly more Germanic than Anglo Saxon or Stuart lineage. I use the term myself I am quite happy to refer to myself as a bluenose ,or a Hun, just as they are Tims. I find neither insulting,however as the famous saying goes I am old enough to remember when gay meant happy. So I genuinely ask do some find this offensive ,or is it just those types of people that like to be offended and victims that take exception to this nom de guerre?

Is there ever the remotest chance we could stay on thread? I didn’t ask about Celtic or their ground I asked about Murrayfield as a suitable venue for a national matches and finals

I cannot believe we still have some fans on here moaning and groaning After the week we have been through and then to go a goal down away from home and come back and win 3-1 is a fantastic effort. It seems that so many of our fans only like to be unhappy like wee free Ministers all doom and gloom I felt today as if a huge weight has been lifted from the entire club. I think Pedro is a really decent good man meh did understand the Rangers unfortunately he just wasn’t up to it and he never convinced the squad either. I expect us to go on a bit of a run now that the shackles are off of us.

There is a discussion at present as to whether or not Hampden should continue to be the National Stadium. The options being rotating venues ,which only becomes a major problem when Rangers and Celtic meet in semi or finals. Anyone at the game today, how was Murrayfield as a venue ,transport,parking,bus parks ,catering ,atmosphere,views of pitch etc. Could it become our National Stadium?

Yeah he has an ice cream van in Leith

Apparently when Cathro got pumped out of Hearts they received over 80 applications,strange thing about that is how can there be 80 worse applicants than Levein? My point is ,if provincial club like Hearts can get 80 we must have an awful lot more and who knows exactly who might be interested in getting such a post. We in all walks of life in Scotland, and certainly as Rangers fans are too quick to talk ourselves down Rangers still are a name that carries huge prestige you might just get surprised over coming days and weeks just who might want to manage our great institution

I see lots saying bring back Walter ,l say leave the man to enjoy his retirement and do nothing to anything that could ruin his legacy. Imagine he failed and got sacked ! I stick with my first preference Alan Pardew ,he has profile worked at big clubs extensive contacts and help lift our profile down south where all the money is

To all those pushing the McInnes line USA remember he has presided midweek over a huge capitulation at home to Celtic. If he cannot at least enthuse his players to give them a game of it at Aberdeen I fail to see how he will improve us enough

My choices Frank de Boer Alan Pardew Either of those two would be fine by me Third ,controversial name, as we have Nico we can always ask ‘arry

Eastcoasters you mean like John Greig, Sandy Jardine, Willie Johnstobe, Jim Baxter Jimmy Miller, ?

One other thing how insulting is it to St Mirren and Morton for what is their big derby game that a referee deemed not good enough for Premier League is somehow deemed fit for this fixture? They should receive bans from games altogether and get hit in the pocket same way players do. The other joke is Craig Thomson who recently was also demoted for one whole week is to take charge of the explosive Hearts v Rangers game this weekend,it really is a joke

I have always mocked the other mob with their conspiracy nonsense and have always been loathe to call any Ref a cheat. I stand by the refs not being cheats I think the level of refereeing in Scotland is dire not corrupt, nor part of a conspiracy. That said this compliance guy Tony McGlennan is a different kettle of fish on a Friday altogether. How come he sees only Bruno and doesn’t see the assault on Cardoso. If Bruno is to be punished then there should be at least two Motherwell players joining him on the banned list. No other club has had so many after the game punishments as Rangers going back to,Souness in the tunnel in the 1980s. Butcher ,Woods and Big Graham Roberts , Duncy Ferguson etc. This has to be challenged enough is enough

If we are going to get rid of Pedro it needs to be done right away,to enable the new guy to come in ,assess and be ready for January window. If not Pedro should stay till second place is either confirmed or lost

Football and politics should not be intertwined people have allowed that to happen it is just wrong. Someone’s football team should not be an issue when it comes to his or her politics. Nor should their politics be driven by the team they support,it s a nonsense. With such a large fan base our support will be divided amongst all beliefs and all parties. That is each individuals business and others should not try and dictate what we as Gers supporters should believe in political world.

I speak as an ex smoker ,it is a very difficult addiction to rid yourself off,people who have never smoked just don’t realize how difficult it is to quit. I read somewhere that nicotine is more addictive than even heroin,don’t know if that is true but a hell of a comparison if true. Took me many attempts before IfI ally managed to kick the filthy habit.

Being a bluenose is not just about following the greatest club on the planet,we get health,travel,lifestyle advice of the highest quality too,great being a Bear

He speaks better English than the majority that fill the stands

That team sounds about right only doubt barring injuries is it Jack ,or Holt neither or works for me ,if pushed I would probably choose Jack. If it gets physical he has the edge over Holt

This on line spat between Jackson and Traynor is very childish ,and like two bald men fighting over a comb.

Pena as our no 10 should be the most creative player on the park. Lots of effort some great runs but still not seen anything that makes me think we have a player here. I want to be proved wrong ,I really do.

A 0-3 in any league at anytime is a good result. I felt from kick off to final whistle we were in complete control. Dorrans was majestic ,Bruno commanding and wee Holt worked his socks off. Pena may have scored two goals ,however he still seems to look clumsy and awkward. It cannot be fitness ,maybe he is just to anxious to please and needs to just calm down a bit. Morelos ran about as usual and what some maybe don’t see his the runs he makes making room for others. All round I am happy and the more we play the better we will get. Left Mid still a concern.

I disagree Club1872 have shown class that this guy couldn’t even spell. We have acted with dignity and have taken the high ground. You can’t always just blast, sometimes better to be diplomatic and look above those that would defame.

Surprise,surprise the media has been very quiet about this
