12 brilliant photos of loyal Rangers fans (according to The Scotsman)

[theonlywayisup]

Surprised that The Scotsman have a gallery devoted to the loyal Rangers fans. Do they do this for other teams?

“Fine voice” is one way to put it.

The blue gimp masks are a lovely touch.

In "fine voice" too apparently. We all know what that means. Good use of the word 'loyal' as well and getting that in there 😔. I remember when The Scotsman used to be a well respected broadsheet with very good sports writers.

[Bostonhibby]

Scratching around for readership numbers/clicks, maybe after the loyal customers as not many others take this declining paper that seriously any more?

My god they are ugly.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Imagine the faux outrage from journos if Hibs fans had pyro like that in a stadium.

[HoboHarry]

Christ, did the reporter spend an hour on his knees with Sevco management after the game? No wonder these rags are circling the drain.

[BILLYHIBS]

How did it come to this ?

I had to check today’s date to make sure it wasn’t an April’s Fool

I remember back in the day the EEN had one journalist dedicated to Hearts and one to Hibs

Never ever read the Hearts guff

Anyway I did watch their game yesterday with a fortnight in mind looked like a routine win

Funnily enough my YouTube inbox strangely had a rant from some loyal The Rangers fan saying yesterday’s performance was a disgrace and it is their worst team since 1979

Still expect a difficult game in two weeks’ time

Scotsman has cut itself from half the population with its one eyed political stance on the union, another 20% with its pro Tory stance and the rest just by being a crap newspaper.
People say it will be sad when we lose our newspaper but not really. They long since ceased to be of useful quality.

Absolutely buzzing for their weekly Old Firm away day report.

Watch this space, this will become a thing.

Went to buy one last year when I was back and it was 1:40 pounds. Lol, no thanks....

And the same from rangers if we had it at ibrox. Complete hypocrites

[pollution]

Bizarre coverage, what is it for ?

[Carheenlea]

It does show a great example of how far football writing has sunk within our written press. The medium is surely in its last few years now as circulations dwindle and the relevance of newspapers peters out.

Can you imagine the likes of Hugh McIlvanney struggling so much for content that he’d resort to throwing that nonsense on his editors desk? Even Jim Traynor in his writing days would find such drivel an affront to his trade.

[Hiber-nation]

To think I bought this rag Mon-Sat in the 80s.

[Alfred E Newman]

What's the odds that they have 12 photos of loyal Celtic fans next week? What an absolute embarrassment.

[tamig]

My thoughts entirely. A run of the mill early season game. You’d think it was the Champions League final. “Brilliant photos” my arse. Enough to give you the boak. 🤮

[greenlex]

Surely just rechristened itself the Hunsman.

[CentreLine]

There is so much wrong with that I don’t know where to start but my subscription to the Scotsman has just been cancelled.

[Jamesie]

“It’s a bit smokey in here” - paraphrasing the words of Donald Findlay KC in an after dinner speech in Larne back in the mid noughties. Talk about playing to the gallery.

I'd suggest that as it turns out, you knew exactly where to start.

[Groathillgrump]

Bizarre!

They're the kind of photos and captions you'd expect to see on a club's official website not on scotsman.com

I see they've got a photo sales link below each photo so probably hoping to pick up a few sales. :rolleyes:

[ChilliEater]

Bizzarre!

Maybe it's a cunning plan, in cahoots with the police, to tempt the smurfs to buy a pic and reveal their true identity? Or maybe not.

[Lendo]

This is the strangest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Probably handed to a junior writer who’s papped it through ChatGPT

[Since452]

Bizarre

Hopefully so the police can identify and prosecute lol :greengrin

[worcesterhibby]

To be honest, the Police should take action against The Scotsman, Laws in the UK ban incitement to hatred and violence, including on account of religion or belief

[hibsbollah]

That’s absolutely astonishing. TheScotsman used to be respected and responsible.

I see ‘loyal’ has now been changed to ‘dedicated’. Still a pathetic episode.

Not least pyros at Scottish football are an offence and the Scotsman are effectively endorsing them with the passive or even positive comments around them. I thought this was someone had gone rogue and published but the fact that the article is still up is staggering.

[Dashing Bob S]

Somebody has sat down, in the offices of a dead newspaper kept afloat by the Evening News, which is kept afloat by Hibs and Hearts over 50 reading about their clubs and decided we'll stay a force by pitching to the most hardcore unionists in Scotland. This used to mean pos Conservatives in central Edinburgh. Now it means trying to ingratiate yourselves to the most brain-dead fascist lowlife in the country.

[CentreLine]

I am delighted to see that the Scotsman Editor has had this item removed completely. It was disgraceful but have to commend the paper for having acknowledged their error and removed the article.

Seriously? That’s disappointing. I tried the link on the OP and it says the page is no longer available so thought it was gone. Would you mind posting a link to where I find it now. Serious request, I am in no way doubting you, just can’t find it myself.

The same link works. The Hootsman have changed the gushing tone a wee bit, i assume after complaints.

[tamig]

Have they not just removed the word “brilliant”? Still a disgrace that someone has thought this was a good thing to publish. Anyone know if it was in the print edition?

[CentreLine]

Interesting. I’m getting the “page not available” message.

When they published that article I cancelled my long standing subscription to the paper and they asked for feedback. I did so, explaining my surprise and disappointment at their publishing such an article to glorify sectarian, racist and criminal behaviour. After an amicable exchange with an editor he told me the article had been removed and I certainly cannot access it.

I’d have had the same attitude if the article had been of Hibs supporters or any other supporters doing similar.

Can you post a fresh, working, link for me please?

[Saint Hibee]

I thought pyro was banned inside football stadiums? Will Police Scotland be using these photos to seek prosecution?

:aok:

[hibsbollah]

The editor has been busy ‘12 brilliant photos of loyal rangers fans’ became ‘dedicated fans’, then they take out ‘brilliant’ and then finally they take out ‘dedicated’, so 4 edits, only one of them getting the point of why it was unacceptable :faf:

‘12 Photos of West of Scotland Football Supporters’ incoming i predict…

[CentreLine]

I see the Scotsman has now published a set of pictures of Celtic fans last night. Maybe mixed opinions on a Palestinian flag and not a fan of the “green brigade” nonsense but nothing in the pictures or their description sticks out as problematic

[LunasBoots]

Seems to be a regular thing certainly with Rangers and full stand pyro, all in balaclavas which is probably why they don't get caught, more should be done to combat the pro.

The guy on the right of the first picture might just as well not be wearing mask. His features seem to come through pretty clearly. 🫣

[HarpOnHibee]

Still calling themselves "The Scotsman" is amusing. It's down there with the Scottish Daily Express and Scottish (work shy Scots) Daily Mail.

[CentreLine]

Interesting to see no sign of pyrotechnics at Ibrox today

Saw a “before and after” picture of view from up the back of lower tier following the works.

Was it Liverpool who had a similar problem in the away end before they redeveloped behind the goals? Rangers have redeveloped and somehow gone backwards. Couldn't happen to a nicer club!

Is it not a big section for wheelchair bound fans too?

They were increasing the number of wheelchair spaces and making accessibility improvements as well as a number of other upgrades.The net result on capacity is an increase of 600 though.
