Kings of the early years. The boycotted cup tie at Tannadice. That semi final at Ibrox. Good times. 3. Motherwell. 4. Raith Rovers, because of Turnbull Hutton's integrity, and the Challenge Cup win. 5. Celtic, but only for the on-field humiliations. 6. Stirling Albion for beating them while their manager was at a wedding. Anyone else? Alloa for always cheating. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenlantern Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Why bother paying to support any other Scottish club when the rules are fundamentally different for Old Firm Blue/Green in the event of insolvency? Hawd on! We've got wealth aff the radar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had a couple I can think of off the top of my head, Hibs - Naturellement... Anyone else? I don’t think our club has as such. However, the personal seethe caused by McInnes was on behalf of and concomitant with the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also worth remembering that Stirling were bottom of the league at that time.Honourable mention to Aberdeen's Derek "concomitant" McInnes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 16 hours ago, Hammer Jag said: The great uprising of 2012, when fans of all Scottish football clubs united to ensure that the newco Rangers were denied direct entry into the top tier was a glorious period in the history of our game. Its something that we should look back on with immense pride. The SFA, the SPL, almost the entire Scottish media and even the chairmen of some clubs tried to threaten, bully and scare us into accepting it. We resisted. Meh. The aim for the new Rangers was to make sure they had a team in the Scottish league set up. They knew that being placed in the top division was a long shot and likely to face massive opposition from fans, likewise the first division. By asking for both of those it made putting them in the bottom league look like a reasonable compromise. They received massively preferential treatment by being parachuted in. They should have faced the application process like all others before them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 They didn't actually ask to be put in the first division and actually spoke out against it to their credit. That was purely the brainchild of the governing bodies up here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
