Generic Sevco / Rangers meltdown thread

A hun existential crisis?

Lovely stuff.

I must admit, it did make me uncomfortable when they released a statement befitting of a modern, reasonable, tolerant 21st century institution earlier this week.

Made me feel like the small minded bigot, when that is generally a defensive position adopted by being subjected to a lifetime of their pish.

They did get it right being a modern club they are only 13 years old.

"Open Letter to the Directors of Rangers Football Club


Subject: The Importance of True Inclusivity at Rangers Football Club


Dear Directors of Rangers Football Club,

As a proud and devoted supporter of this great institution, I feel compelled to share my concerns regarding an issue that has been weighing heavily on many of us within the Rangers community. The club’s motto, “Everyone and Anyone,” has long been a cornerstone of the Rangers identity. However, in recent years, it has become increasingly clear that this motto does not seem to apply to a significant portion of the club’s supporters—those who align with Christian and Protestant values.


Rangers Football Club has become a platform for promoting the values of various minority groups, such as the LGBT+ community, across social media and other channels. While some people want to celebrate diversity and create an inclusive environment for all, it feels as though the majority group, those who share traditional Christian and Protestant beliefs, has been left out or, worse, sidelined.

Examples of this is when the club design and the release an orange strip. This kit, which has zero involvement in the club colours is only produced for one reason only. Finance. Why you ask? The Orange colour, associated historically with the Protestant community, seemed to be more of a financial decision rather than a meaningful tribute to the heritage and identity of a large section of the Rangers fanbase which for financial gain but show contempt for the very organisation you expolit.


This issue extends beyond just merchandise. In the 1980s, church rallies and Christian celebrations were once part of the fabric of this club. They represented the values that many supporters hold dear. Yet, these traditions were gradually removed, and the Christian ethos was pushed to the margins of the Rangers experience. Today, the very organization that represents those values, the Orange Order, Church of Scotland etc is often vilified or ignored—while the club’s commercial decisions seem to be more in tune with the values of other minority groups.

It is with this in mind that I urge you, the directors of Rangers Football Club, to revisit your commitment to the motto “Everyone and Anyone.” The essence of this motto should apply to all supporters, not just to those whose views or identities align with current trends or political ideologies. It is essential for the club to embrace inclusivity that goes beyond selective promotion of certain groups. We must all be included, not just a few.

This is not a call to diminish or silence the voices of minority groups, but rather to ensure that the club remains a place where all supporters, regardless of their faith or background, feel equally valued. It is crucial that Rangers maintains its identity as a football club for everyone and anyone, staying true to the spirit of its loyal supporters—many of whom have deep-rooted Christian values and connections to the Protestant tradition.

Therefore, I respectfully ask you to reconsider the current trajectory and review how the club can be more inclusive of all groups, including those who hold Christian and Protestant values. If Rangers truly wants to embrace its motto, then it must act in a manner that respects and represents the full spectrum of its supporters.


If this cannot be done, I ask you to keep politics and ideologies out of the football club entirely, ensuring that it remains a place for the enjoyment of sport and the shared passion of its fans—regardless of their background or beliefs.


We will not back down or shy away from these values."

I don't even know where to start with this one. But the fact that "Christian" and "Protestant" are presented as two different identities speaks volumes ...

Maybe they're being highly intelligent here and are hoping to disguise the fact that in hunland there really is a different version of protestantism?

Obviously distinct from christianity or indeed most / any other theologies?

'Rangers is a modern, progressive football club, and we are fiercely proud of our diverse playing squads, workforce and support.'



Surely it's no April 1st yet is it?

We used to live in an age, where if something waddled and quacked like a duck, it was a duck 100%.

We're now living in a parallel, social media universe, where white is black, the devil is God and evil is good.

You can act and be as obnoxious as like and then say you're holier than holy and all is fine and sorted.

And there's some even in our support that give them credit. **** me.

That statement is comedy gold. If there was ever a need for Section 60 to be invoked it is an Old Firm Derby. The use of pyros, by both sets of supporters, shows why it is required. The best line is that the Club should ‘exert its influence to compel Police Scotland’ they obviously think we are still living in the 1950’s.

It's the same comedy gold as the Green Brigade and Block 7 statements.
They need to all dry their eyes.
As for the Onion Bears statement, incredible brass neck in a week where they have caused reputational and financial damage to their club. The "We demand" bit is particularly cringe. Think they will be a long time waiting.

Reckon Rangers and Celtic will be secretly happy that both sets of Ultra's were put back in their boxes by the Police.

Following up on their statement The Rangers football club have issued lifetime bans to union bears supporters they consider responsible for the offensive banners at their last European game. Reported in the Herald

I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised and they should be congratulated IMHO

Completely agree. Fair play.

Perhaps you are correct but I think it's more likely that they are playing to the gallery containing the alleged American investors.

"supporters they consider responsible"

So they could just decide that they don't consider any of them responsible while making it appear as if they're doing something at the same time.

I’ve paraphrased on the article. The headline reads “Rangers issue lifetime ban to Union Bears members responsible for racist banner”

When the subject of Cerny firing water at Celtic fans was mentioned at the recent press conference Ned Ferguson stated he had no concerns about it and wanted to his players to celebrate. No surprise there given his past record.
Anyhoo given that we’re at Ibrox on 5 April let’s make sure that we score and celebrate in the same way. Can you imagine Boyler spraying the Govan unwashed having scored the winner.

In which case stand back for mass condemnation from their media acolytes and the SFA who have been strangely silent on the subject up till now.
