Rangers staff risk stoking sectarianism hints Glasgow council boss Susan Aitken

This is a political issue that directly involves Rangers, Mack.

Started that way but lost direction IMO.

[Gonzo79 13,679]

I suppose so.  

 

If we never take them on it leaves them free to continually work against us.  And taking them on involves looking at the whole picture, as dreary as that can be.

Comparing Holland to Scotland is just so much crap. What does Holland have to do with Rangers' staff being accused of stoking sectarianism by the GCC boss, Susan Aitken?

Aitken is now claiming that there are death threats.  If that's the case, I'm sure she will hand over any evidence of these to the police.

 

She could have cleared this up immediately had she just answered the questions asked.  The problem is that she can't answer them because the facts will confirm an inconvenient truth.  Rather than just shut up shop, she's on twitter going on about how Rangers' employees are stoking up sectarian trouble.  She really doesn't care about facts at all does she?!?  If she manages to hold on to her job after this, I'll be amazed.  I appreciate her colleagues will rally to support her for a little while, but they will now be fearing for their own jobs longer term and cannot continue to support this nonsense.  Her days are numbered and quite rightly.  I don't care about her preferences, religion, or favourite football teams (if she has one).  However, what she has demonstrated is extremely poor judgement and an attempt to cover up an intervention.  That is why she has to go.  As usual, it's not the original deed that is her downfall, it's the alleged lies and apparent deliberate misleading that will get her and others in the end.

 

I would also expect some more senior members of the SNP to intervene soon.  Contrary to what many believe on here, I think that we will have a representative proportion of our own fans supporting their party.  They cannot afford to lose those votes just because a few of their members are going rogue, so I imagine this will become a point of interest they need to deal with soon.  This is something I don't really care about.  That's their problem, but the intervention may help bring a conclusion to this pantomime.  What I do care about is holding our elected officials to account, especially when their actions are questionable at best.

They won't lose them.  Scottish Nationalists put splitting the Union far and above anything else, including their football team.

 

Pick a side.

Are you advocating that Rangers' supporters should pick a party other than the SNP?
Careful, you may be accused of posting 'just so much crap'.

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.
