Nah Nah Nah Nah--Nah Nah Nah Nah-----Heyheyeh--GLASGOW RANGERS! --- its an oldie but a goodie --maybe too clean and fun for the new generation of bears living in the 18th century--sing the billy boys but please take out the F word ---maybe instead of god save the queen sing flower of Scotland-dont be too hard on me bears lol---oh and f t p definitely a no-no.

What on earth has the british national anthem got to do with anything?
26 Aug 2019 13:18:29
what has the "BRITISH" national anthem got to do with football---especially Scottish football---last time I checked the parasites that they sing about had no time for Scotland---just their land and holiday retreats in fancy castles.
25 Aug 2019 23:01:13
I'm over the moon for borna today since joining us he has had a tough time. To see him react after he scored just shows how much it means to him I think he needs to get a few games under his belt and get a proper feel for the game in scotland.
25 Aug 2019 23:49:14
Agree watched his interview after the game hope he finds a bit of form and doesn't get injured for and Croatia šš·.
26 Aug 2019 07:26:14
Terrific goal. Yes let's hope he turns a corner and kicks on (pardon the pun)
25 Aug 2019 22:58:39
Official SCOTTISH anthem flower of Scotland. God save the Queen English national anthem. I'm not English. Yes political, for sayin leave the UK. When them in charge only talk about English interests. remember more than 60 pcnt of Scots want to stay in Europe. I'm a straight white Scottish flower of Scotland singin non sectarian non protestant rangers supporter who only wants to promote the famous. We won't abide this stupidity of Catholic or protestant when it's the same God. It's a game, once again. I stand by what I say.
25 Aug 2019 23:39:56
And the vast number of Scots voted to remain part of the United kingdom!
26 Aug 2019 01:24:22
I am happy for you.
26 Aug 2019 10:16:18
The fact you felt you had to mention you are straight and white kind of suggests some sort of discrimination in there.
25 Aug 2019 21:42:16
On the singin front. Sectarian singin should rightly be ended. its too old now. also I'm Scottish an no english. why do we sing rule brittania and God save the Queen. I'm not protestant either, but I love rangers the same as the rest. i don't like the royals. what gain do we get supporting them. scotlands going to be in trouble if we leave europe. better to leave the UK. Rangers are better off without the religious and loyalists. It's a frikn game. not politics.
25 Aug 2019 22:39:43
Rangers are a scottish and british club whether u like it or not. there is no sectarian there just another good chance to moan. Last time i checked god save the queen was the official UK anthem.
25 Aug 2019 22:40:56
And were being told to forget about political songs and posts etc yet you are preaching about leaving UK.
25 Aug 2019 23:41:17
SNP banger š¤£š¤£š¤£.
25 Aug 2019 20:35:53
How about some praise for Barasic, his moment of magic today got us 3 points and great to see the boy celebrate enthusiastically.
25 Aug 2019 21:20:18
Well said mate everyone quick to slate the lad do t think heās done anything terrible in his rangers career thus far to deserve the criticism he gets! Flanno is a liability at LB and offers 0 going forward! To break down stubborn defences you need quality and borna has that he is a Croatian international whoās a bit low on confidence! Letās back the lad said it before and will say it again thereās a player there! Not the best performance but a good result against 10 defenders and a keeper š.
25 Aug 2019 22:26:42
Well said R1 his moment of brilliance won us the game today, hopefully that is the trigger to see the real Borna.
26 Aug 2019 00:04:17
Very harsh in flano. On form he's our beat l. b he's more solid defensively, the last ditch tackle against legia which potentially saved us from defeat is something barasic wouldn't do. Saying that. I hope barasic can find some form and become our mainstay in the lb position.
26 Aug 2019 07:15:06
When was the last time we scored direct from a free kick? Gerrard said he sees Barisic doing these in training so why does Tav take most of them with little success. Barisic has a great left foot. let's support the guy. he is a player.
26 Aug 2019 08:28:18
No way RJM. On form Barasic is by miles our best left back. As proven by his international performances. Hopefully now he can kick on and we can start to see him at his best for us as well.
26 Aug 2019 08:36:16
Rjm that tackle your talking about the guy was offside so hardly saved us from defeat.
25 Aug 2019 20:34:58
Sectarian songs being sung by morons who don't seem to realise that our gaffer and many of our new players are church England which is pretty much the same as roman catholic.
I even noticed one of our players who scored our winner giving the sign of the cross, did the same morons boo him? or chant more sectarian songs?, no, so forget religion in all sports now, there is no place or need for it in todays world.
25 Aug 2019 22:29:26
I think you will find thatthe Church of England is protestant, it was founded by Henry the eighth because he didn't want to be ruled by the pope in the church of Rome, hence the royal family are all church of england, and the church of scotland is our version of it,
Here endeth the history lesson.
26 Aug 2019 02:28:57
Yeah, not to keep the religion thing going but that statement is dogpoo in relation to the Church of England being pretty much the same as Catholic.
26 Aug 2019 04:57:53
Well said.
26 Aug 2019 10:21:20
Dog poo, well go to a church of England wedding and you'll soon see the similarity compared to a church of Scotland one.
26 Aug 2019 17:08:26
Bluebilly, as an Englishman son of a scotsman, I can tell you that there is absolutely no similarity between the church of England and catholic church services.
25 Aug 2019 20:31:51
Good win, and great to see Barasic play well and score. What happened to Katic, didn't hear why he wasn't in squad?
25 Aug 2019 19:09:09
Excuse my ignorance and i'm sure i'm not the only one but could someone post what the illegal sectarian bigoted songs are. I didn't think gallows was one. What content does the song have to contain to be considered as sectarian abuse or bigoted, what line in gallows in offensive, its not dissimilar to flower of scotland.
25 Aug 2019 20:43:11
Excuse my ignorance but what have gallows, bb, King b on the wall, no surrender, the sash, etc plus references to the pope, people who went on hunger strike, on and on and on got to do with Rangers?
I have sung all of the above in the past and get all the arguments. But these songs are KILLING our club. Enough is enough. Itās time to stop.
Enjoy our scottish and British heritage if need be. Sing the queen, rule Britania, etc with pride. But we can now do without the proddy hymns.
26 Aug 2019 02:32:39
Our club is living in the past. We're still blasting Tina Turner and Penny Arcade before games .
I've been saying for years the club and support needs dragged into the 21st century, I'm hoping it's happening now.
25 Aug 2019 18:16:38
Well I stupidly went and had a look at another forum. And I came away disgusted at the comments. Praising UB. Praising the fact that they think somehow rangers and the orange order are the same thing. Claiming it doesnāt matter what we sing in spl just in Europe. Claiming that billy boys is fine. We got in trouble for super rangers. Yet still it was sung and they seem more than happy about it as they claimed āwe didnāt say the f wordā aye right. Even a discussion on not to inform the stewards if we heard sectarian words as you ādonāt tell on your ownā. Thank you Edās for this forum and thanks all you guys/ girls that we donāt have to hear that type of thing in here.
25 Aug 2019 17:17:12
WTF! Was that banner all about? will these lunatics never learn again they bring the spotlight onto the club for the wrong reasons
They will ruin this club, they will cost us Steven Gerrard, they will cost us funds in fines, lost revenue the team needs so I ask how you consider yourselves supporters when your actions so harm the club you purport to love I need that explained as do many of the other rational posters on here.
25 Aug 2019 17:47:21
Blue blue sea, itās time for king to take them on, ban them. he has my support.
25 Aug 2019 19:03:51
Even if we get docked points, play to an empty stadium, get banned from Europe, these idiots will still not get it. The only solution is to identify and ban for life. Rangers don't need you and we the supporters don't want you.
25 Aug 2019 19:05:32
John25 it's going to take a radical solution it's going to take us refusing an away allocation I know it hurts the team but it's coming to that I've said before the more you tell these types not to do it the more they take it as a challenge.
25 Aug 2019 22:49:14
Its the idiot with the megaphone that starts it off. The majority of the plebs who join in are nothing more than wee neds. They are like rubbish casuals. Union Bears should be booted out. Who had bright idea to put them below family stand.
25 Aug 2019 17:10:16
Can I plead with the "fans" who were singing those songs again today. First off all, the banner, it seemed like you were in a wee huff as your section is closed for the Legia game. Secondly, I watched the game on BT sports, and the songs were clearly audible, it was embarrassing after what's happened this week. I posted this morning saying that all eyes and ears would be on us and not to give any reason to criticise - you failed in that one straight away. Now, have any of you actually considered that if we beat celtic next week and over the course of the next few months we continue to stay in front, do you think the SFA wouldn't think twice about docking us points? Think about that if we were to lose the league for a few points. Who's to blame then? Uefa, SFA? No, you are.
25 Aug 2019 17:31:55
What songs were they singing? All rangers fb pages comments praising fans for not signing them? 2 songs we gor reported for was billy boys which i got told got booed out 2day. and we are rangers super rangers.
25 Aug 2019 17:48:58
Sir struts. I so wish our fans learn as it stands now there is no mechanism to deduct any clubs points for bad behaviour.
25 Aug 2019 18:06:15
Before the game had even kicked off Gallows was being sung and then TBB. seriously WTF, hasnāt anyone learned from the last few days. These arenāt threats that will go away, fans will be banned from the ground, the club will be hit financially and we will be kicked out of tournaments and have points deducted. This has to be a watershed moment. Our club need the fans to behave and follow the team vocally but in the right manner. The minority need to wake the F up and do it ASAP.
25 Aug 2019 19:14:04
John25, glad to hear there's no mechanism to deduct pointsjust now, however I do not trust the football authorities not to change this very quickly if it's still level pegging at the top a few months from now.
25 Aug 2019 19:45:22
Sir struth it requires a 40 - 0 vote, we wonāt vote for it.
Fraser wishart explains it very well
Also rules can only be changed in close season.
26 Aug 2019 01:26:03
Build my gallows has no offensive words therefor i would imagine that will always get sung esp at away games.
25 Aug 2019 16:28:34
We need to root out the idiots that create an atmosphere of bile, pointing out the shortcoming of other clubs does us no good whatsoever, we are watched by many keyboard warriors who will send emails telling of the great offence caused by our so called fans. The same people seem to think others actions are acceptable, so let's give them no excuse, heaven forbid that we told UEFA we were greatly upset by the behaviour of some fans.
25 Aug 2019 15:23:21
With regard to the thorny issue of sectarian singing. Could someone please explain to me why the following lines from the Billy Boys is not sectarian. We are up to our knees in fenian blood, surrender or you'll die. This the 21st century, we are watching a game of football, not an ancient war. For f#ck sake pack it in, for the good of our club and the WHOLE RANGERS FAMILY. I am proud to be a supporter of the FAMOUS GLASGOW RANGERS. Some of these MORONS will not be content until we are back down in the gutter. Believe me the SFA are waiting for any excuse. Don't give them it. ONWARDS AND UPWARDS THE FAMOUS.
25 Aug 2019 16:32:23
What I seen with that banner was like a little child in the huff as itās been told off. can't believe they are actually trying to fight this. I would have had more respect for union bears if they had came out with a statement aswell, a grown up statement of agreeing with the club and looking to change the songbook. Instead I seen spoilt brats. Wonder how they will react if they had 40k rangers fans booing them? Would they have a banner against Govan front. Club deck Copland?
25 Aug 2019 16:39:02
They are doing the ground work for a point reduction incase we start to pull away!
25 Aug 2019 17:07:10
C of ibrox, u canāt have a point reduction in Scottish football for fan behaviour.
25 Aug 2019 18:17:53
The SFA can and will do what they like mate. When it's Rangers they make rules up as they go along!
25 Aug 2019 19:46:05
C of ibrox donāt become paranoid like others.
25 Aug 2019 15:14:17
Good 3 points in the bag today well done but what worries me we badly need one more striker big time.
25 Aug 2019 14:53:55
Personally I couldn't care less about Scotland but if Ryan Jack isn't selected for the upcoming squad it would be both a travesty and a clear pointer as to what direction the national team is going. The best midfielder in Scotland by some distance at the moment.
On another note should we expect a fine and an empty stadium when the report from the delegate at the home tie against the Danish team comes in? Just wondering!
25 Aug 2019 17:06:48
Here here seeker! There isn't a better midfielder in the country, than ryan jack at the moment. Yet again the motm today by a distance. Easily the best player on the park. This guy without question is a future captain, of the famous glasgow rangers.
25 Aug 2019 23:59:06
Every chance you get coop you add future captain š.
25 Aug 2019 14:39:13
We have for whatever reason previously toiled at St Mirren and not great today but we won, we won at Killie and put the Hibs to the sword. We look a different proposition this year and I can't wait till we put Celtic on our mantelpiece next weekend. I have never been so confident we will win next weekend, and between Aribo, Jack and Arfield retire that little xxxx Brown. Cheering the jam tarts on today.
25 Aug 2019 15:43:06
Those types of games would of cost us points last season, that's a huge difference, constantly putting pressure on for 90 minutes. Work rate and passion has greatly improved and this will install confidence. A great 3 points, well done team.
25 Aug 2019 16:44:25
I'm glad I'm not a st mirren fan.
25 Aug 2019 14:35:46
A hard fought 3 points against a team whose sole aim was to frustrate Rangers for as long as possible, with as many men behind the ball as possible.
That's not football - thank goodness I'm not a St Mirren fan!
Brilliant free kick by Barisic.
Ryan Jack outstanding again. š
Onwards to Thursday!
25 Aug 2019 14:57:51
Its our job to break teams like that down. Great hit from barasic. defoe chance acute angle morelos loves them shots. we weren't complaing when walter smith had us playin like stmirren were 2day in 2008 euro run.
25 Aug 2019 15:25:30
Too true let's go, but think we must have gone knowing fighting gainst 5 at back and miserly midfield but hard win anyway. Thought play by gers free flowing but Mirren turned into dirge.
25 Aug 2019 16:10:12
See to be honest letsgo, we can't keep moaning about teams setting up to frustrate us because that's obviously what they are going to do. What we need to do as a team is find different ways of finding a way through it. That's were players/ managers earn their coin.
Teams play that way against barcelona (10 men behind the ball), but they still find a way of annihilating them, and that's what we should be aiming to do.
25 Aug 2019 17:06:51
Are you comparing Barcelona with Rangers orangetinited? Can think of one or two reasons too how barcelona manage to find a way to 'annihilating' teams.
25 Aug 2019 21:48:11
Obviously I'm not comparing them in the way you are insinuating. If there is any comparison in my post, it would be that barcelona are one of the two big guns in their league, as are we. The other teams in Barcelona's league will probably be set up defensively, as will the other teams in our league. Honestly thought that was obvious what I was trying to say, and at no point did I say that rangers and barcelona were comparable, in terms of ability/ quality/ players šš¤¦āāļø.
25 Aug 2019 14:35:13
Question,
When was the last time we went top of the league with Celtic playing later the same day?
Pressure is on for them.
25 Aug 2019 14:13:56
Love Arfield, his first touch is shocking at times but.
25 Aug 2019 14:11:16
Ryan Jack controlling things again today.
Beauty by Barisic on the kick. Probably had his best game while I've been watching him. That said the guy is fragile and a bit awkward physically. Missed two good chances (Arfield's saved header ) if he has even a basic use of his right foot. He also defends with his body facing his own goalline. That will make him useless if the winger cuts into the middle.
Well done to St. Mirren. They won't win a lot of games but they are going to make the top 6 work for their points if they can keep this discipline level.
25 Aug 2019 14:39:40
Blue north agreed with start of your post, then it got useless when you brought arfield into it, utter nonsense it ended up.
25 Aug 2019 14:53:04
The paragraph is about Barisic not Arfield. I was talking about Barisic having a tap in if he could get a right boot on the ball after the goalie's save of Arfield's Header.
25 Aug 2019 16:12:32
He only put arfields name in the post to state what chance he was talking about, hence the brackets lol. Clearly was still talking about barasic.
25 Aug 2019 16:39:54
It was Jones was it not who tried to react to the save from arfields header. Only chance i remember borna having was his wild slice which was ideal for a left footer anyway.
25 Aug 2019 20:15:44
i do apologise for the faux pas.
25 Aug 2019 13:49:41
Away support an absolute disgrace today. Nothing has changed. These morons are killing our club. Same old hymn book.
25 Aug 2019 14:13:06
3 points today.
25 Aug 2019 14:17:42
Iād ban this union bear mob now and there banner was a disgrace using the ICF logo.
25 Aug 2019 15:05:18
At work so volume down low. Dismt hear great what songs were being sung? The 2 were in truble for?
25 Aug 2019 15:11:35
They just don't get it nothing to do with loyalty it's about the songs yous sing time to grow up muppets.
25 Aug 2019 15:12:21
Just spoke to my mate that was there. He said no offensive songs. some people tried to start billy boys but got booed out.
25 Aug 2019 16:02:14
only way to stop them IS to ban them forever. they are a blight on the club and the country. not the only one of course, but let us deal with our own.
25 Aug 2019 13:48:04
Rangers screaming out for a big target man, a Prso type player that can attack with the head all the crosses we are putting in, nobody to attack them.
25 Aug 2019 14:28:24
iāve been bangin on about a target man forever lauders.
25 Aug 2019 14:33:53
Would you give big Herrera another chance?
25 Aug 2019 14:45:23
Helander done ok but not enough to move Katie yet.
25 Aug 2019 13:10:02
Total control of first half with nothing to show for it.
About time some shooting practice from outside box was considered.
Trying to make 10 passes in a packed box is no use but we keep doing it.
Oh for a jorg albertz lol.
25 Aug 2019 13:46:24
Barisic must have taken your pointšš
beautyš.
25 Aug 2019 13:09:34
I think we can see that the deployment of Jones today is poor. He doesn't have the finesse or the strength to play in tight. Having Barisic play the LWing took away Jones' role. It feels like we are playing with 10 men. Credit to St. Mirren first half. Lots of energy and discipline and bit of luck. Hopefully we break it down in the second when they tire a bit.
25 Aug 2019 13:08:48
Games screaming out for Morelos the way they are setting up suits him more than defoe Jones not at it as is Kamara he looks he's gone back a bit, can't see them holding out for another 45 mins massive 2nd half coming up.
25 Aug 2019 14:37:51
Kamara never stepped a foot wrong.
25 Aug 2019 13:00:23
Help me out here bears, I'm not very tech savvy so there's probably a simple answer to my question, I've just got IPTV through a firestick, sky sports, bt sports, premier sports etc are all perfect but rangers TV is absolutely horrendous with it pausing, rewinding, buffering etc all the time. Anyone any ideas why it's only rangers TV that appears to have problems? Cheers troops.
25 Aug 2019 12:36:03
Big win today will pile all the pressure on them before they face Hearts.
Be good to see Helander and Goldson in action together. Obviously Katic is rested for Thursday because he has been outstanding recently.
Let's hope Jones can provide the goods for Defoe up front. š
In Gerrard We Trust!
Let's Go!
#55.
25 Aug 2019 13:09:33
The way were playing at the moment not to sure. Big second half to come. Need more driving into the box and better shooting. Come on gers.
25 Aug 2019 13:10:13
Think its goldson who needs dropped tbh. jones has never been in game finding it very hard to break them down. Start shooting on sight.
25 Aug 2019 12:13:27
Big game today, although all games are important for the players, I'm talking about the fans. All eyes and ears will be on us today, please do not give any reason for anyone to criticise.
25 Aug 2019 11:43:32
Singing of sectarian or offensive songs should be met with a life ban. No arguments.
I stopped going to games because of the hatred, no place to take a child.
25 Aug 2019 10:36:36
SG talking about the possibility of losing a player. Iām guessing only AM or JT fit the bill of sought after players. Iām wondering if the board have agreed to keep them until we get into group stages of Europe then see what happens. Iām sure the scouts have earmarked possible quick time replacements should this happen.
25 Aug 2019 10:14:38
Coldo mate (original not knock off version š) if you don't mind me asking what IPTV provider do you use? I am intrigued.
25 Aug 2019 11:52:21
Ditto, am keen to know more about this.
25 Aug 2019 12:13:07
Sorry to barge in guys, I use LTQ personally. Although for Rangers games I use a VPN and pay through RTV.
25 Aug 2019 12:44:16
Cheers Cletus, agree with RTV so club gets money. Was asking as Google brings up bloody loads and wouldn't want to subscribe to a duffer! You happy with yours mate?
25 Aug 2019 10:08:14
It's the start of a huge 7 days for us. 3 wins required. Let's Go!
25 Aug 2019 09:53:01
Big game today, letās hope we donāt let the club down and give the rest of Scotland what they want. They will be watching and hoping we disgrace ourselves again. Win the game and put pressure on the unwashed and show we we are still Scotlandās premier club with the best fans. No stupid songs and no pitch invasions. We are better than that, letās prove it!
š¬š§š¬š§.
25 Aug 2019 09:09:17
Not saying the songs are correct but I remember last season the 2 old firm games there was nearly 49,000 people inside ibrox singing these songs so I'm not sure we should all be blaming the union bears as we are all guilty of singing them.
25 Aug 2019 10:36:30
100% correct the songs need to change! Like I say we as a support need to change and we will and I will! I admitted at the last old firm game that everyone in my section in the Govan and I mean everyone was singing the billy boys and Wagman said I was a clown as he has never done anything like that before? I can count on one hand guys admitting singing songs that day on here, so it must be the Union Bears? Not! We have to man up and change and behave and l will change and letās get behind our great clubš¬š§.
25 Aug 2019 12:09:02
I donāt think anyone is saying it is just the union bears, I think what people are saying is that the union bears is a concentrated area of bams so the songs often originate from there.
25 Aug 2019 13:54:09
Also, Iām married to a Catholic and have Catholic nieces and nephews, so funnily enough no, I have never joined in songs about being up to my knees in their blood. Madness, eh?
25 Aug 2019 14:36:37
Wagman, that 2 times I have written a similar post and you havenāt understood the posts? Things have to change and I will say it again, things have to change!
25 Aug 2019 15:29:11
I agree. Iām just replying to your insinuation that everyone gets involved in these songs.
25 Aug 2019 07:39:01
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 25th August 2019
25 Aug 2019 02:48:06
Gerrard thinks a big game player may receive a bid if its Morelos then 18M minimum he is too important to loose.
25 Aug 2019 06:35:22
Well he is on record saying someone better bring lots of money and it won't be at the end of the transfer window I'm sure. If El Buffalo goes then so does the league IMO.
25 Aug 2019 09:13:57
If we let Morelos go so late on in the window there could be major consequences like losing the league. Heās a major part of a our squad and he brings in all the goals more or less. Would be a massive mistake to sell him now that the season has started and we only have Defoe left if he goes.
25 Aug 2019 09:56:54
I've been wondering how we were able to finance the new signings and their wages and came to the conclusion that it would be thru a player sale, so now we have SG dropping hints. I fear that Alfredo will be allowed to leave in next few days and a deal has already been agreed.
25 Aug 2019 10:52:14
I told you!
25 Aug 2019 11:09:32
If Morelos goes let's sign Shankland of Dundee United. Should have signed him from Ayr last month but he wouldn't have got much game time. Now he will. He's banging them in for United and a Rangers fan.

Shankland could never fill Morelosās boots he is much more than goals his work rate and the holding up of the ball to allow midfielders to get forward is top drawer we play with one up front and he leads the line well.

Funny thing here is all about biggoted chants. But the sfa allow teams to risk injury on rubbish conditions. Yea the sfa are realy concerned bout or game. We need to fight back as 1. This is a circus show. So sad. No wonder we can't atract quality. For Rangers. Celtic hibs or hearts.

we deserve the punishment the songs shouldn't be sung its that simple they are also outdated unwanted and downright disrespectful and the fans singing them should be banned from all football matches for life to deter anyone else from singing them.
Then proper fans that can't get a decent seat can get to go and support the team properly.
