i have been advocating the boycott to cease but look at this way the boycott in all probability has at least got groups wanting to take club over ashley in one side king/letham/murray/and taylor who has purchased shares continuing the boycott won't harm either party only the club will suffer this season more than the last 2 because we have stronger opponenents let's finnish the boycott and et club back into premiership in 7 short months by which time we will know who controls club and then all go forward together we have had our spell in the wilderness let's end the squabling and crack on

Wull61:I've yet to see any evidence of a real boycott to be honest.If you are referring to the poor turn out at the St Johnstone game,that could be attributed to the weather,the fact it was on BBC?
The midweek turnouts were about 18 thousand anyway so let's see what happens next home game.I'll be there anyway.

Wul61. Couldn't agree more let's get back to supporting the team, get promoted and take it from there.

Why. . ?leave it until later yet again. We have had our fingers burnt a number of times now, do we need to still be sitting with our heads in the sand yet again? for another year or so.
We pay the fiddlers then they will keep on fiddling until Rome burns i'm afraid.
Go to the games sure but give them nothing else for god sake.

Wull61 your right support the team through thick and thin that's what true supporters do boycott= turning your back on the club

@3. I am sure wull61 is calling for the boycott on going to games, as we need a strong support for our team.
As far as boycotts on Sports Direct, McGill's etc. go ahead if you like, but I think you'll be wasting your time as most sensible adults will make up their own minds.

Gkk if u don't see evidemce of boycott u must be blind how many 40k plus crowds this season

Wull61: I am certainly not blind pal you just aren't making yourself clear,are you talking about a boycott since the board accepted Ashleys loan? Or are you talking about a season ticket boycott?That's the main reason attendances are down.I don't see that Ashleys involvement has caused much of a boycott, if you are basing it on the St Johnstone game.

Obviously the season ticket boycott that's what is hurting club the most i had stopped going but my gripe was macoist and the drivel served up on the park but the perfomances are a bit better and macoists turn will come so i have started going back

After all that our great club has been through in recent times and the hatred aimed at us from all corners of Scotland especially that mob from the east end, would a win against sceptic in the semi be the sweetest victory over them in our history. Bring it on. WATP.

Not being controversial for the sake of it bud , but I've honestly experienced more hatred from fans of other Scottish clubs. In my experience Celtic supporters have generally delighted in taking the p155 but have also shown me a bit of understanding over the last couple of years. I've got one Celtic mate who is genuine in his attempts to get me to change my stay away stance and even recognises this as Rangers more than I do?!?
Regardless, for those of you excited by this fixture I'd say Rangers are most definitely in the win win situation whatever happens.

Why are you bothered? I thought you chucked it!

02 Nov 2014 12:23:09
@2 who chucked what if your referring to myself yes I've stopped travelling up a decision which was one of hardest I've ever made but chuck it never I love Rangers with a passion and will do till my last breath so believe me I most certainly DO CARE.

Joyful that was uncalled for it does not matter that Sutton bears chin is down. On our club at this stage in our history once a bear always a bear, it's in the blood

Soton bear, I've got to agree with Bay on that one. I have experienced more hatred from others, especially the sheep boys, than the sellick fans.
Just ignore comments like jyf's as he[or she] probably does not understand our deep feelings for our club, irrospective of our stance at the moment.
As things stand, I think we are on a 'doing', but if a day is a long time in politics, then 2 months is an eternity in football. No matter what, I will be 100% behind the team.

02 Nov 2014 13:53:24
@sotonbear. There's too much hatred In scottish football, we didn't help ourselves with those idiots in George square during the independence. Shameful and embarrassing, I can't even take my wee boy to the games because of the biggots that ruin the game for me.

02 Nov 2014 14:55:11
@3 I think jyf was referring to me mate. @2 I'm not bothered, I'm just having a chat is that ok? I meant, prior to chucking it I had more venom from fans of other clubs. My mate only wants me to get the passion back so he can enjoy winding me up. He seems genuinely sad that I'm not bothered anymore :0)

02 Nov 2014 15:45:00
@5 I agree,we all have mates who are Celtic fans and most of the banter is good natured (I say most) and we know the origins of the rivalry. Your sheepman on the other hand,is a different kettle of fish.He doesn't know why he hates you,he just does.In my opinion it started when that scumbag smashed the most exciting player of his generation in Ian Durrant, and wrecked the boys career,and they hate US?? Never been able to figure that one out.

Pablosbrother imposter lads beware pablos1 does not have any brothers but he does have a son in law that's bealing cause they ain't won a treble since we were illegally removed from the spl, we are coming be worried be very worried.

Take your point lads on the venom directed at us not living in Scotland I only Saw and heard What was thought of us from my many trips to Belfast and the overwhelming amount of celtic fans who I know in Southampton who don't see it as banter and couldn't care less if we lived or died and we're not big on sheep men down here never met one Thank f**k. I will say that the many games I've seen on our journey back to our rightful place has been so enjoyable going to grounds I'd never been to and actually being welcome at most has been a great experience, let's see what's instore for us next season.

Not being controversial. but I haven't experienced the hatred from fans of other clubs? when was that. ? did I miss it ? some fans talking their thoughts about our predicament does not mean hatred or singing stupid songs that we are " dead etc. . just means they had an opinion no big deal.
I do know for a fact that a percentage of Celtic support on other hand "hate" us with a vengeance hence there opinion this is not an "old firm game" etc etc.
Funny how perceptions change when we get "back" to the big playground. I also have Celtic mates and they just laugh and take the "piss" as per usual, who wouldn't. we would do same.
Boycott the bloody game,,,, we said we would ?? against all who were against us, or is that on back burner ?

@11. I am glad that you have not felt the venom from the sheep boys. Yes, there is a section of the sellick support that really do hate us, but I would say that, as a percentage, it is far lower than the volume from aberdeen.

Pittodrie away is just horrible,vile.I mean any Bear that's been up there knows,you can smell the hatred the in air(through the fleece that is) and the place has a sinister feeling about it that is worse than the piggery.From the polis to the turnstiles,and the stewards.Hatred.
