According to Facebook

Celtic have 1329118 'likes'
Rangers 495995
Aberdeen 59477
Hibernian 44014
Dundee United 38608
Hearts 27298

Given facebook probably only appeals to anyone under 30 this is quite encouraging and suggests the future is green?

Either Hearts fans are computer illiterate or perhaps the are not quite as popular and big as they think?

Interesting lead Celtic seem to have over Rangers.

Indeed. I'd say that Facebook has developed into the medium of choice for over 20s.

Kids have their own things nowadays like snapfax and instachat.

Out of interest I took a nosey at twitter follows which follow a slightly different pattern:

Celtic - 266 k
Rangers- 170k
Aberdeen - 38.4k
Hibs - 29.5k
Hearts - 35.2k
Dundee utd - 24.1 k

Less of a gap between the OF and Hearts have more follows than we do. Would be good if there was a link to explain why this is but I can't see one.

I also wonder how on earth Celtic got over a million facebook likes? That's quite a gap!

I think the fact Hibs managed to get all major fan pages to merge was a big factor in the strong following. I'd imagine the other clubs had to build from scratch organically.

Either Hearts fans are illiterate.

Agree with this statement. :agree:

Well they all seem to make it onto kickback or here so they can't be that daft.

Surely a mistake. Should Hearts not read 350.2k??

Why are 50,000 Hearts fans not following them on Twitter? :confused:

I'm sure their are a few zeros missing on that figure for Hearts.

Does 1 like = 1 person?

Assuming it is page likes, rather than likes on comments on that page then yes…unless people have multiple Facebook accounts.

Why is there still a Facebook page for Rangers? I thought they memorialised pages when you die.

I think you are taking this a little too seriously...
