Had the misfortune of wasting 20 mins of my life watching the other mob tonight if they win the league Rangers and Hearts should be ashamed thst such a poor team wins the title. They have experience but little else imho
25 Apr 2026 22:14:54
Agree onewalter, there are no excuses now, this is as poor a Celtic team in many years. But they have won 14 out of 15 titles. I will hold the manager and players to account if we have a terrible summer.
25 Apr 2026 22:42:22
Mostly they have experience of running away with the title.
They've a wee bit more on their plate this time round.

Rohlwithcheese. I've told this story on here a couple of times about how my young cousin was stabbed to death in front of my eyes by a Celtic fan on way home from an Old Firm game. I actually hated that man for a at least 10 years, to the point it was all consuming taking over my full life, thinking about him constantly from the moment I got up in the morning to the minute I went to bed. That's hatred mate, for you to suggest that even one of our fans hate Tavernier, just because as you say you saw people tell him to f off and abuse him in the stadium.
That's maybe because they don't rate him as a player, or possibly don't like him as a person, but to suggest it's hatred is just absolute nonsense mate. Most people will never fully understand hatred until they actually truly hate someone. Isreal and palestine that's hatred. Hatred gets threw around like the word legend, far to loosely.
25 Apr 2026 13:14:36
Yes, some don't understand the meaning of some words.
My thoughts are with you and your family. God bless him, my friend.
25 Apr 2026 13:17:58
Excellent point BB, π π± it's π© u had to experience that bud. π
25 Apr 2026 13:20:21
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, my friend. β€οΈ
Hatred is used in all the wrong ways now.
25 Apr 2026 13:24:32
The word is too easily thrown about these days and I am sorry you and your family had to go through that, BB4.
25 Apr 2026 14:13:27
A terrible burden to bare for all these years, BB4, and I'm truly sorry for you and your family that you have had to suffer such pain. As you say, we all have to try to put things in their proper context.
25 Apr 2026 14:18:49
Guys, thanks for the kind words, but I wasn't looking for any kind of sympathy, as 90% of you on here already knew what happened. I was just trying to explain the difference between hatred and being high on emotions after bad results and swearing at one of our own players. I honestly can't believe I'm having to explain this tbh.
25 Apr 2026 15:07:40
Boy blue, agree mate. Too many are too ready to have a rant after a bad result, add a few shandies and even friends have been known to fall out, and sometimes the word hatred gets thrown in.
25 Apr 2026 17:36:53
Explain what? That anything short of a knife attack can't be classed as hateful? That's utter nonsense and we even have hate crime laws in this country that prove hate can be non-violent. You can be arrested for hate for online comments in Scotland.
You seen someone with a knife, one of your friends died.
I sympathise, especially as someone who has lost many, many friends to drugs and violence in this city. Is this the forum to talk about people in Glasgow dying? No, it has nothing to do with the James Tavernier situation.
25 Apr 2026 19:07:29
BB4, my heart goes out to you that you had to experience this in your life.
It must have been, and still is, horrifying for you and your family.
John, I say this with the greatest respect to you, as I know from your involvement on this site that you're a very decent person.
When you say words as in plural, are you referring to some people who don't understand the word Legend if they interpret the word and the player's contribution differently from yourself.
Surely people are allowed to have different interpretations without being told they have a lack of understanding of the English language.
25 Apr 2026 19:48:49
Firstly, if you had read the post you would see it was a cousin, not a friend. Secondly, where in my post did I say anything short of a knife attack can't be described as hateful? The only person mentioning such a thing was you.
Thirdly, I'll post anything I want to post on here. You don't have a say in what I post. If you don't like it, scroll on. Simple.
25 Apr 2026 19:51:38
CO2, I don't know if I wrote something in plural. I have one eye.
At no time have I entered this discussion on legend, so not sure someone can have a different opinion than me.
25 Apr 2026 20:09:30
Sorry to hear that BB4. That must have been horrific to see.
Rohlwithcheese, "hate speech" laws are absolute nonsense and an affront to the concept of a free society.
I'd say the charlatans who coined them "hate" speech they cannot control and are every bit responsible for the watered down definition and free form use of the word itself.
25 Apr 2026 20:41:33
No problem, John.
Maybe I've picked you up wrong.
I had felt when you had said -
"some don't understand the meaning of some words," you were referring back to the word Legend which had been a hot topic.
Please accept my apologies if I've picked up on this wrongly.
As I said, I know you're a very decent person, and I have all the respect for your great contribution on this site, otherwise I probably wouldn't have pointed out what I had thought was a flippant comment regarding others' interpretation.
25 Apr 2026 20:41:52
The hate speech rules in this country are a complete and utter joke. People getting longer in jails than paedophiles etc. One of the many reasons why this country is a complete and utter mess.
25 Apr 2026 20:56:49
No matter what we post, everyone will have a story to tell. We all think our situations are unique, but it's scary to think of the future.
My wife has Frontal Lobe syndrome which we thought was strange as it was the same as her dad who a footballer in the old fashioned times and headed the old fashioned heavy leathered balls, so all I can say is enjoy the moments.
π€£ππ«‘π₯°
25 Apr 2026 22:01:14
I've lost family members too, blue boy. Believe it or not, you are not an authority on what is and is not hate just because someone you know experienced misfortune.
This thread is one of the stupidest I have ever read on this forum. Do me the favour of not involving me in nonsense like this in the future.
Was James Tavernier hated by a section of the Rangers fans? Yes. Get over it.
25 Apr 2026 23:31:30
Not going to lie, that reply from RohlWithCheese is a stinker. Up there with some of the worst I've read. Not in terms of the content, but the absolute lack of accuracy on the previous content.
BB4 was highlighting consumption in terms of constant thoughts was equal to hate. BB4, I hope you take what I'm about to say with as minimal crap as possible, but the guy who done that probably had zero hatred towards BB4's family member.
It was probably a hatred of the club or even just wrong place, wrong time.
To also try to stipulate what others can and should speak about is a stupid statement to make, as last time I checked there are mods on this site who will deem what is and is not acceptable to post. If I want to post about the shade of my big toe after stubbing it, then it's up to the mods to decide if that's ok or not. Not any of us.
25 Apr 2026 23:42:52
BB, u know my ol dad had a shop in possil and i have many friends from there, so I've always had a soft spot for you
your cuz is flying high now, his attacker is living a putrid existence
my points, too much to understand for a couple, is that Tavs story is and will be a legend, it will be spoken of in many years to come, and may indeed never be beaten
that's the stuff of legend, whatever you think of the man and his playing ability is a separate personal thing
his story will be legendary without question, it's unheard of here
26 Apr 2026 04:09:58
Of course Ayrshire, all good mate.
Tom, I'm personally in the camp of some will, some won't, each to their own.
26 Apr 2026 09:48:58
Tom/BB4 - best shop in Saracen in my childhood was Bennetts. A right Aladdin's cave!
Ninja stars, catapults, etc. Brilliant place.
26 Apr 2026 11:56:06
That's a blast from the past, athole. Old Mr Bennett and his wee wife, brilliant mate. π
25 Apr 2026 10:21:53
I read a report that Rangers stig inge bjornbye says mo salah has had his future discussed at Ibrox π²
25 Apr 2026 10:25:40
You are looking at some strange sites, SWS. π π
25 Apr 2026 10:30:38
Stig remains very fond of Liverpool and any chat regarding Salah would clearly be just general interest.
Should not be confused with Salah having any sort of future at Rangers.
Many things, football related, are spoken about at clubs because we have a genuine interest in football.
That is how I learned that Chelsea had terminated Roseniors' contract prior to announcement.
25 Apr 2026 10:38:16
Sws, that would be like me and you having a chat about where he'll go next, mate. He won't be talking about his next club will be Rangers.
25 Apr 2026 11:47:31

25 Apr 2026 12:13:29
A little known fact about the Salah family is that his great grandfather was a founder member of the Cairo loyal back in the 1040's during the war. Mr Salah became friends with Sir David Stirling (founder of the SAS), whilst he was serving in Cairo, and the rest is history.
Mo Surrender.
25 Apr 2026 12:29:47
3 cheers. : )
25 Apr 2026 12:33:30
Common guys, everyone knows Salah won't be at Rangers. π€ I was quoting only what Stig Bjornebye said in his interview, that's all nothing more, nothing less. π€
25 Apr 2026 14:07:40
Surprised the Ed let a mental post like that through.
He must have hit the OK button when he fell of his chair laughing.
25 Apr 2026 15:56:46
Hulmo, Hulmo, we are the Salah boys. π¦πΊπ¬π§
25 Apr 2026 19:41:45
Not good enough, we need to bring in better. πΆ
26 Apr 2026 07:00:28
Think most would be against signing Mo, is the fact he is just not Rangers class.
24 Apr 2026 20:33:34
Of Celtic are indeed not going to give us any away allocation, then for a level playing field we should play the fixture with no fans at all. That is the only thing that would be fair, if these mutants don't uphold their end of the bargain
25 Apr 2026 09:52:50
I think the performance by both sets of supporters at the semi final at Ibrox has set back the chance of getting away fans back in any great volume. It's a shame but entirely surprised by the tic.
25 Apr 2026 09:58:48
Can't let the thugs dictate and disrupt the good progress made this season before the semi final.
Maybe we should approach this differently.
We should accept tickets on this one occasion on the basis that both the union bears and green brigade aren't in attendance.
Other option, except the ticket on the basis that going forward UB & GB, don't get access to tickets at OF next season and indefinitely until they both can be trusted.
Maybe the second option is more practical and better long term.
Would need both Celtic and Rangers to sign an agreement.
Rangers fans should be in attendance for sporting integrity in my opinion.
25 Apr 2026 11:55:33
Tell me how you stop someone getting a hold of a ticket though?
25 Apr 2026 12:59:09
I would agree to the condition and then sell them as normal. If they don't like it who cares. It will even it up and both can go back to banning away fans next season. This is a direct result of the cup tie when too many away fans were allowed in and they started the trouble (and wrecked our stand).
25 Apr 2026 17:02:23
This is Celtic 'Influence' department in full swing once again. They're very good at what they do to gain advantage, big or small. "Penalty to Rangers" and "Biased Referees" to name just two other campaigns.
