I cannot say that I was surprised by the shameful scenes in George Square at the weekend.
Dear reader, I expected it.
When the original Rangers reached the UEFA Cup final in 2008, I feared for the great city of Manchester.
I just knew that the Mancunians were in for a difficult time with the dignified visitors.
Indeed, the Police in Manchester got close enough to smell the sense of Herrenvolk entitlement.
Truly, man’s best friend!
There was a horrible automaticity about it all in 2008 when they made the final.
So it was when I learned of the proposed get-together at George Square.
Of course, there was no need to hark back to 2008 and the original Ibrox club.
Sevco’s valued customers had trashed the same area of Glasgow only three months earlier.
I have a working theory on these sentinels of a higher civilisation.
Essentially, any mass gathering (as opposed to a gathering at Mass) of the Ibrox klanbase will lead to violence and mayhem.
However, there was one aspect of the chaos at George Square that did come as a surprise to me.
There was definitely for Light Blue on Light Blue action.
Please, let me explain.
It is no secret that there were folk in George Square who are domiciled in the Northeast of this country.
Many of them would self-define as “Ulster-Scots”.
Consequently, Fair Caledonia is something of an ancestral homeland for these natives of Narne Arne.
Therefore, I was surprised to be told today, from an impeccably ell-placed source, that future legal proceedings might well reveal a rather inconvenient fact.
Rather hand hands across the water, there was a vicious blood sport between the local Bears and their Ulster brethren.
Perhaps those true born Scots just took exception to those damn Irish coming in from Ersatz Ayrshire and spoiling their proper Scottish riot.

Do you think any Scottish based journalists are asking the SFA and UEFA if they are investigating the video of the Sevco player version of Sweet Caroline at their celebrations of their first league title? Maybe there have been journalists from the EU who have asked this question of those organisations?
If John Guidetti can be done for quoting the words “the Huns are deid” from a song about him then surely this far more serious matter deserves reprimand.
It also occurred to me that this ‘battle @George Sq.’ being an ‘international’ is all too convenient for the youngest klub in Scotland; why you’d think they’re offering that as an excuse. Personally I’d put nothing past that lot, their statements only confirm what we All know, racists and bigots All.
And that’s why they think they’re special and the same rules everyone else follows do not apply to them. They really are pathetic and we all now know it, even the Scottish government has now recognised it.
I read the other day about the possibility of strict liability being used in Scotland, I’m all for it, CFC🍀 fans are welcomed the World over and We know how to behave when celebrating.
As someone commented ‘let them into ibrox to celebrate and don’t let them out until they’re All sober’
That works for me, let their klub pick up the ‘appetite for destruction’ tab, coz Scotland has at last awakened to this increasingly sinister ‘support’
Cheers Phil🍻
Unfortunately this will all blow over especially when the brethren start putting pressure on. There has been an increase in their bad behaviour and outright racism in all parts of Glasgow and beyond that the authorities are well aware of given the number of times they have had to paint out the putrid hatred daubed all over the city for the past 2 years. The rate that this garbage reappears is quite alarming yet the Police, Councillors and MP’s who know all about it remain powerless and silent. Why? Because deep down the majority of them are cut from the same cloth
Royal Glasgow Constabulary are culpable in the monster created at Ibrox. it’s about decades of peculiar handshakes and apathy about this club’s rancid bigotry. They simply can’t help themselves. All illustrated by the recent ‘happy selfies’ taken with Sevco fans alongside beaming faced officers. Perverse when you consider Police Scotland have recently been attacked by the Klan on three occasions. Hard to fathom that the brave ‘Yoon-yin Bears’ were protecting a statue in George Square. How uncanny that it just happened to be Sir Robert Peel’s (founding member of the Plod) Of course everyone knows how it inevitably ended. Plod were violently attacked by Loyalists/Klan/Sevcoites. Go figure.
I see they are trying to blame the Scotgov for refusing another health risk, namely 10k season ticket holders into the 2nd hand stadium.
So what they are saying is the 10k fans had to riot in George Sq. instead.
Brilliant Phil😂
Type into Google Scottish Football Champions….
Very unsevcolike of Google; actually telling the truth🍀
