    I the big towns are normally 50-50 its when you get into the surrounding villages you see how bad it is. a had the joys of living in strathaven and now am in stonehouse which is even worse then you have places like muirkirk, larkhall and a bunch of others around which are full of huns as well

    Whoever said about the Rangers shop closing down in Inverness, I wouldn't read much into that.

    Part of the huns deal with JJB involved closing down all Rangers shops apart from the one at Ibrox, which was renamed JJB Rangers.

    Coming from Shetland I would say that religion is hardly a factor atall nowadays for which football team you support. When north sea oil was found, there was a boom in construction bringing all kinds of workers, including irish. This coincided with an increase in support of Celtic when it had mainly been Aberdeen/ R*ngers previously.

    I live in Glenrothes and I'd say the Tims are heavily outnumbered here. Agree with what Liam said about Dundee as well, every time I've been there there's a good few Celtic tops on display, it's very rare to see a hun there. There's a wee Celtic shop in Dundee as well, right across from the bus station. Overall, Fife and the areas just outside are outnumbered by huns. I love it actually, especially during these times. I love the sense of sticking it right up the majority.

    Dross. I've been in Aberdeen for fourteen years, I've lost count of the amount if times I've been told there's no room for catholics here. The worst offenders are the Aberdeen fans, who are abysmal at supporting their team and concentrate on booing the opposition.

    They don't just hate us, they hate everyone, truly the most unfriendly city in Scotland by miles.

    Depends what areas you mean around Parkhead, I would say it's fairly split between us and them

    Coatbridge is a town a few miles east of Glasgow

    I know a few boys that stay just around from Ibrox, massive Tims though. What about the area is Glasgow called Hillhead? what is that Tims/Huns?

    Don't Rangers also have their own JJB Rangers in Glasgow City Centre near the big Dvd store place. Forget the name. :52:

    Bridgeton , larkhall are probably the worst hun areas - duke street has a few hun pubs in it aswell but there's a Celtic supporters club from that area , shettleston is more hun-nish aswell but where I live (greenfield) seems more Celtic - with a name like that doesn't suprise me though :56:

    The Port is absolutely crawling with Fenians. I'm originally from Greenock myself but the Port town after an Old Firm win is unrivaled.:56:

    I think you are right.

    Interesting, I read one man said when Celtic had played against Aberdeen, that there had been more Celtic fans than Aberdeen fans. It sounds unreal.

    I wasn't including Aberdeen in my statement, I could not comment on that as I have not lived there for any length of time.

    Port Glasgow and Greenock are on a scale like no other. From the Port myself and on matchdays everyones buzzin'. After an Old Firm win its carnival time and when we win the league, well..........forget sleeping, plus Greenock has the biggest supporters club in Britain.

    It's the biggest in the world I'm sure? Europe at least, it was a few years ago I think?

    For starters you can take govan out the list thats a pure myth its either half and half or more celtic than rangers i lived there for 14 years ar 1 point there was 4 catholic primary schools and a high school st jeromes ,st constantines , st anthonys , st saviours , and st gerrards then due to a council decision they cut the schools st gerrards shut as did jeromes . And constantines that burnt down a stones throw from ibrox you also have in cardonald lourdes secondry and lady of rosary primary and lady of lourdes primary . In govan im sure tall kranes celtic bar , albion way im sure is a celtic bar , the stanley in kinning park is defo a celtic bar and the merchant quay formerly the new regano is a celtic bar . Thers my evidence to back up my answer govan is not crawling with huns. . . . Could add dumbarton to the list of places filled with tims got its own club the harp club.

    Sure that's correct. This video is taking just across from the Greenock CSC.
