Are you advocating that Rangers' supporters should pick a party other than the SNP?

It's more binary.  Us or them.  Rangers or SNP.

Anyone who has rangers at heart should not vote snp.

Our club will suffer if you do.

Of course that may not be enough to stop you voting snp. Thats up to you.

So, who should Rangers fans vote for?  Or are you suggesting any party other than the SNP?  I've already said that I vote for "none of the parties", but I'm genuinely interested in who you think is better, or less worse.

 

I can never tell on these threads if people have serious beliefs about a particular party, or if they are just using these incidents to play party politics.  I know of plenty of MSPs (and MPs for that matter) who would equally like to see Rangers continue to suffer.  Does that mean we don't vote for any?

 

Anyway, the point of my post was about a small number of individuals who are under the microscope and who should be on their way out soon.  The fact that they are SNP is irrelevant to me.

Well labour used to be as bad so that doesnt leave much.

Any party that doesnt display blatant bias against us should be fine

I'm asking because it's too easy to say that political parties are anti Rangers.  I believe some politicians are, just as some lawyers are, just as some police officers are, just as some bankers are.  That's life.  But I don't see any political party being anti Rangers.  Quite frankly, I don't think that most of them are bothered enough about football to even care.  It frustrates me when I see sweeping statements made about politics and Rangers.  Some Rangers fans vote SNP.  Some vote for independence.  Some vote for BrExit.  Some vote for the Green Party.  How do I know this? .... because our support is broad and is made up of people with all sorts of backgrounds, priorities and beliefs.  I know that's difficult for some people to accept, but that's a fact.  As soon as we put conditions on who is a real supporter (I.e. you can't support Rangers if you vote SNP), we become divided.  There's no need for it, especially not now.  Vote for who you want, but don't tell people who they should and shouldn't be voting for.

You dont see the snp doing it here?

 

I guess if the party put a stop to this we can agree.

They're too busy with beer tax, banning big pizzas, making sure our kids know gender is a social construct and making sure parents are supervised (Named Person Scheme) to drive away business by being Socialist and increasing taxes.

SNP are hardly socialist, snp are capitalists which is shown with their support of the neo-liberal EU. They aren't interested in public ownership of services and more interested in economic growth just like the EU. The named person act is an example of how fascist they actually are.

I disagree it seems quite obvious along with the media and football authorities that they are quite anti-rangers. How many snp politicians openly support Rangers?? I can't think of one, can think of plenty of open celtic fans. They do photo ops in hardcore celtic pubs in Govan, they done nothing to help us when we were thrown down the leagues but when it was hearts or dunfermline it was a big hullaballoo to help these clubs. Their leader congratulates hibs after their fans invade the park nearly causing a riot, If we invaded the prk we would have been condemned as per...Have any of them ever congratulated us or tried to help us??  I was trying to find an article by a celtic board member form a year or two ago who is also in the labour party and he says the snp's nationalist rhetoric stokes the flames of division by trying to create a similiar divide in scotland as there is in Northern Ireland with terms such as unionists, which is true you can't say your anti snp without being dubbed a unionist and all the negative connotations that word brings.

 

They certainly use such divisions for their political gain while dividing a country even more and it's obvious they are anti rangers with their msps regularly being caught out being downright bigots or cheering on celtic, then you get things like this. Seems blatantly obvious they have an agenda against us.
