Gonzo79 13,764 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) The narrator says, "Eight seasons since they witnessed European football...". Did he forget last season (I know we all want to but...?). We refer to ourselves as Glasgow Rangers in a couple of songs (syllable requirements) but it's usually only foreigners and QPR fans who refer to us as that in speech. We have two club crests and neither of them mentions Glasgow. Edited October 20, 2018 by Gonzo79 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Bears also add Glasgow to our name and I have even met some who don't realise we have never been 'Glasgow Rangers'. Last year even one of our board referred to us as Glasgow Rangers while acting in an official capacity. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qualifiers are a half-way house you have to get past first. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will probably die away in the next generation but you will just have to accept that some people use that now. If that is our biggest worry then we are doing okay. You are lucky you don't live in Holland because the most people there just call us Glasgow. I have sent e-mails in the past complaining to the Dutch tv companies about it but never got a response. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem with the Dutch or whoever getting our name wrong but I do with our own fans (and even people working for the club) being ignorant of our name. I hate the expression 'the famous Glasgow Rangers', it's a contradiction in terms. If we are so famous why do you feel you have to explain who we are by adding Glasgow to our name? The founders gave us a unique name; we are the only Rangers, all the rest have to add a qualifier; I don't see why people feel the need to change it. ( I understand the reason it's sometimes added in songs). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
