I don't want to weigh in as far as this argument goes, but a few comments troubled me. They've gone unchallenged so far and thankfully haven't sparked sectarian bickering, but this type of thing could potentially offend:
Now I've no time for the more thuggish Rangers supporters and I agree that certain sections of their fans are actively involved not only in sectarianism but in other far-right / neo-Nazi groups.
Though in my opinion comments like the above, however well intentioned they may be, only serve to perpetuate the ongoing hatred between the already-divided communities in Glasgow, Belfast and any other hotbeds of sectarian / political tension. Especially the use of the word 'Huns'.
For the record, I'm not from Scotland, nor am I from Belfast, but I was taught that 'proddies' were bad people. Belive it or not, sectarian tensions and conflict used to be a problem in English cities too.
Over time I've come to realise that it's utter bollocks; you judge the individual and that's it. I'm sure you agree with that, trip2themoon, and by no means is this a personal attack on you. I just wanted to make a passing mention of this in order to pre-empt any sectarian slanging match. Let's save it for the guys in Stormont, eh?
Oh, and an intersting aside - for those of you of an Irish Republican bent who drink Guinness, just look at that company's history. They were as reluctant as Rangers to employ Catholics for a loooong time, especially in senior positions.
Wouldn't think it would you?
Now... back to smack.

Here's an example of fucked in the head they are: The football team they support up until the mid to late 1980s had a policy where they would not sign a Roman Catholic player. If a Catholic signs for them he is not allowed to bless himself in front of the fans.They are such racist scumbags that they even hate people of their own race.
