I resent the term "hun" for Rangers fans. I don't think it has the same connotations in Glasgow as it does here.

Michaelg is a very reasonable poster, I'm pretty sure he's not even a Rangers fan, i think he's been baited a bit by the tone the thread has taken. I accept how some people view Celtic, I fundamentally disagree and there is clear blue water between the clubs imo. It's a bit like the 'IRA at play' shite that Unionism has long pedalled about the GAA, it's gotten into the Unionist psyche and nothing will shift it.
Agree re the above on michaelg being a reasonable poster, albeit usually holding opposite views from me. Interesting re the apparent origins of the word "hun" and that Ofcom do not class it as offensive. However since it's usually intended as a term of derision and insult , it's unacceptable. Michaelg is articulate in presenting a unionist viewpoint, but doesn't deserve to be insulted .

Micheal knows skiddly doo about Celtic fc other than what segments he selects from wherever, which support his obvious political prejudices. For some bizarre reason he keeps coming back to this thread year after year to present the same self righteous  lines.  There's no learning, no  exchange, just the  self righteous preaching  tone delivered on a loop, perhaps that's rated reasonable by some, ::) 
I'd call it the equivalent of lurking and a quick flash.

Are we snowflakes now. I don't know what image comes into your head when you hear but I think we all know what it means. Sticks and stones etc

Nothing to do with snowflakes. To me it was used as a derogatory term to describe Protestants

Many have seen the absolutely disgraceful  scenes of the rangers  supporters  'celebrating' a facile SPL league title with thousands upon thousands breaking the law  and general  riotous mayhem.
But I hadn't realised that Rangers fans in NI pretty much 'celebrated' in a similar ignominious manner, as well they could seeing as they were up to their knees in Fenian blood.
You might imagine that the leading political parties of the NI Assembly would take issue with this brazen breach of the current laws, but what we got instead was a big thumbs up from the DUP who put a motion before the assembly, a  message of congratulations to Rfc.
Does that not smell wacko with a gong?

Turnbull and Griffiths not good enough for Scotland then.

Griffiths not surprising as his fitness/professionalism is very questionable.

Turnbull you'd have thought would have got a go but Scotland are well stocked for midfielders with McGregor, McGinn, Christie, McTominay, Armstrong, Jack among others.

On a separate note, the Roy Keane rumours worry me, greatly.

I like Keane. But I don't want him anywhere near the place as manager. He can come as a fan any time he wants tho

Itchy

I said it earlier, I think Keane would work at Celtic. The fit is right in my opinion. Hes been fairly bet in with the bookies.
