Are Glasgow Rangers fans bigoted the Irish? The consensus seems to be that they are and The Famine Song all but confirms it. But look at it from the Rangers' point of view. They are faced by Celtic fans waiving Irish flags, declaring their Irishness, and chanting IRA slogans. It is almost as if Celtic fans are baiting the Scots. If you wind up a people long enough, they will snap and they will sings songs like The Famine Song.   

The oddity is that these Celtic fans are often 3rd, 4th, 6th or even 7th generation Scotsmen. Surely, if you are born in Scotland, then you are Scots. Okay, if you are 2nd generation, leeway maybe given, but how many generations have to pass by before these people admit to what they are –Scotsmen. Instead, by hanging on to their Irishness, they are encouraging sectarianism.

What do others think?
