Scotlands Shame

Scotlands Shame is a term coined by fans of Celtic_FC to describe their bitter rivals Rangers_FC. The term came to fame immediately during the Celtic_FC vs. Rangers_FC game on the 16th April 2008 when a Celtic FC Ultras group known as the Green Brigade unfurled a magnificant creative banner in the shame of an arrow with the text "Scotlands Shame" on, the arrow indicated towards the Rangers fans who were contained heavily by the police in the away fans section of Celtic Park.

The term is in retaliation to Rangers_FC blatant sectarianism and bigotry throughout the years, as well as the disgusting smear campaign by the vile Rangers_FC support directed towards Scotlands and Celtic_FCs most influential and successful football manager.

An extract from an online sports e-article explains the issue and history:

Scotland's Shame – An explanation.

Scotland's Shame. An amusing summation of one set of fan's hatred towards an opposing set. Within the statement however, real issues lie dormant amongst the mainstream Scottish population. While this campaign may be attracting attention to the constant back and forth between the Celtic and Rangers fans, it's worth examining the sentiments behind the words and exposing the many and plentiful stream of reasons why Rangers Football Club and their fans are dubbed as Scotland's shame.

Indeed the reasons are laced throughout the history of the club. In the early years of both clubs before the second world war and in the late 19th Century, the Irish Catholic community in Glasgow struggled indefinitely to gain parity within the society of the city they had fled to from famine and injustice across the water. In fact, across Scotland this appeared to be the case. Finding charity and entertainment in a football club became a focal point of the working class community however bigotry, it appears, can never be left behind. Rangers Football Club and it's fans stood in direct opposition to these ideals, itself becoming a focal point for people showing resentment and hatred towards a new community in Scotland. Celtic fans quickly became an identifiable group, receiving abuse for any matter of things which caused irk with 'the natives'. It is in fact true to say this wasn't simply a sectarian viewpoint within the predominantly Protestant but a racist one, with many of the elite in Scotland actually believing immigrants of this nature to be inferior in every way towards themselves. Newspapers even depicting Celtic fans at the time as apes in contrast to supposedly 'handsome' human beings of Rangers FC in crude drawings. The irony here now the 21st Century marches onwards isn't lost on myself and I hope it isn't on you either.

If the way to two clubs opposed each other in such ways isn't reason enough to find shame in the culture of Rangers then perhaps further reasons can be explored. For instance, the authority at RFC have had a policy throughout it's history which seems abhorrent now but which seemed to be in place not twenty-five years ago. A bigoted anti-Catholic signing policy. Confront a literate fan about this and they'd amusingly inform you it's coincidence and probably reel off a name or two from a youth team in the 1970s that happened to be of a Catholic background. However the fact is it did exist and existed up until and influx of money in the late 1980s and early 90s forced their hand to buying quality foreign players from the continent and strong RC countries such as Spain and Italy. There's no hiding from it as across the city, their so called 'Old Firm Partners' Celtic have always had an open signing policy and many legends of the club do not subscribe to the faith so dominant within the fanbase.

If the establishment and culture of the club isn't convincing enough, the final nail in the coffin of Scotland's Shame is the horrific history of the fanbase itself. While there's many disgraceful incidents and events littering their very being, two examples highlight it perfectly. In 1972, on the evening of what appears to be their greatest and proudest achievement to date, winning the third tier cup in European competition, Rangers fan disgraced themselves, their club and the country they were representing by rioting in the venue city, Barcelona. So obscene were the actions of the so called 'marauding huns' that even the club manager at the time, Willie Waddell, had this to say:

“It is to these tikes, hooligans, louts and drunkards that I pinpoint my message – it is because of your gutter-rat behaviour that we [Rangers FC] are being publicly tarred and feathered . . . ”

After a violent pitch invasion with reports of infighting between the support, aggressive behaviour towards police and later attacking local shops and shockingly cathedrals and churches, it amounted to the club being banned from European football for a year and unable to defend the trophy they had won that evening. Can you think of such an ignorant display of support for your football team?

To bring this right up to date and to provide a background to the immediate catalyst of the 'Scotland's Shame' movement you have to delve into something darker than any of these examples. A few years ago it was reported that one of Celtic's greatest heroes, Jock Stein, may receive a post-humous knighthood for services to football or at least, certain people may be petitioning for it to happen. In the wake of this, a vile campaign spread from within the depths of the bigots decaying in the Rangers support. It was suggested that this great man had knowledge of child abuse which unfortunately was propogated by one man acting as staff for a feeder club of Celtic in 1960s and 70s. There is NO fact or basis to this whatsoever and for years Celtic fans and family members of Stein have had to endure chants, graffiti and abuse from this disgusting group of people in the form of a slogan, unworthy of being repeated. It is a sad indication of the lows these people can go to, to try and put themselves on a plateau above what they deem inferior and better than, simply because of the religion and culture many Celtic fans follow.

It is in fact time to shatter the illusion of the an 'Old Firm'. Celtic and Rangers do not stand together and never have since they have existed. Scotland's Shame stand and stand alone. The public that support them are not ashamed, they publicly indulge in Nazi salutes. They publicly call for and celebrate the slaughter of an entire faith of people. The publicly display racist attitudes not consistent within today's society. They publicly mock child abuse and slander a great Scottish figure's name. They are Glasgow's shame, Scotland's shame, Europe's shame, Football's shame.. throughout the world. This is merely scratching the surface. Please spread the word.

Scotland's Shame is Rangers Football Club.

Hi! No, sorry, that won't do. You'll need to contact info-en-o@wikimedia.org from an official email address to confirm that you are who you say you are and that you will release the text under the GFDL or another free license. I see you put a copyright statement at the bottom of the article you created: this won't do. On the edit screen, it said: Do not copy text from other websites without a GFDL-compatible license. It will be deleted directly below the the "save page" button. I'm afraid we can't have it both ways - you'll need to release the text or not post it at all. Please note that the text you posted is unsourced and reads like an advert, so is subject to deletion on other grounds as well. ➨ ЯEDVEЯS has wasted eight of nine lives 12:37, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
