    may seem tame now, but this could be the most satirical sketch ever in Scotland. The fact it was on Scotch & Wry means it was dealt with with humour - disnae mean to say that even the thought of this would've had a large number of Rangers fans/West of Scotland prods foaming at the mouth (no, REALLY). It would take a while, but eventually players like Mo Johnston or Terry Butcher would sign for the Gers - of course if they played really well, then they were ibrox legends - if they didn't then you can guess the rest...

    I’ve just shown my wife this clip , she’d never seen it , I thought everyone of an age had.
    I also remember going to see a play with Jimmy Logan & Una McLean at the Kings in Glasgow that took on the same subject around the same time, I don’t remember it’s name but Jimmy starred as a Rangers fan who got arrested for throwing an orange at a referee only to come home and find that same referee renting the spare room at home, he also had to suffer the indignity of jumping for joy at the news his son had signed a professional football contract only to discover that he wouldn’t be wearing the shirt he had dreamed about 😳 oops.

      Honestly, it's tedious to come on these classic comedy videos and always find a "You'd never get away with this these days" type comment (on the tamest of content too), so maybe stop making up problems which aren't there to try and make yourself look hard.

    • @CrackaPackify
      @CrackaPackify Рік тому +4

      It has as much to do with Northern Ireland as Scotland, madly enough.
      During the Irish Famine (1845-1849) Glasgow had a huge influx of Irish immigrants (mostly Catholics) and this caused quite a bit of anger in the local community who was largely Protestant.
      This kinda bubbled under the surface quite a lot, but manifested itself in the communities having things like different pubs or sports clubs that they went to. Rangers was founded in 1875 and didn't really have any religious leanings at the time; Celtic was founded in 1887 to provide a social outlet and resource for poor Irish Catholic immigrants. They established a sporting rivalry and then in the early 1900s with the First World War and the Easter Rising in Ireland politicising issues. Some would argue the biggest factor in the religious issue developing was Harland and Wolff - a Belfast shipbuilder notorious for refusing to hire Catholics - opening a yard in Glasgow due to instability in Ireland. It was opened in Govan, and it happened that Rangers were the closest football club, also based in Govan, so many of the Ulster Protestant shipbuilders who came over to work in the H&W yard adopted Rangers as their team.
      So it's kind of multifactorial:
      - west (Rangers) and east (Celtic) Glasgow
      - Protestant and Catholic
      - British identity vs Irish identity (you won't see many Scotland flags in either stadium)
      To answer your initial question Rangers had a long standing policy of not signing Catholic players for the reasons listed above - it was never said out loud but was widely accepted. Graeme Souness signed Mo Johnston and since then they've signed plenty of Catholics, like Gennaro Gattuso and Mikel Arteta, and even an Irish Catholic from Dublin, Jon Daly.

    That is the best that I ever heard in my long life of living on this earth for 98.5 years, 7 goals scored in the first half, had to attend mass during the 2nd half, that it how my brothers and sister were brought up, to be a good upstand Catholics and it has paid off and so it did for Brendan O'Malley

      Craig is typical of certain attitudes that emanate from Scotland. Hates the colour green most likely supports a dead club who banned their players from wearing green boots (you couldn't make it up) and most likely sings about been up to his knees in Catholic blood. Scotland's Shame indeed.

      The Notorious Vito Corleone see his answer was pish ok, but your on the other side of fence. We see you's as the bigots and vice versa we'll never live in peace. Catholics are apart of Scotland's shame and play a bigger part than they'll ever realise, hardly either of any side go to church anyway. Its the cultural and moral sides that clash way too much as a protestant and a rangers fan, celtic fans ARE the bigots. We may have songs like the sash and derrys walls that you lot scream sectarian when we do sing those songs, crying over singing songs is petty. Scotland's real shame is giving in to cloud minded folk who offer no benefit to the country that wave a Irish flag have erin tattooed on his knuckles but has never left Glasgow apart from the occasional trip to blackpool. From me to all of you. Fuck the pope and yourselves you bunch of morally twisted fuckers. I moved 300 miles away from scotland to be away from that toxic pc Catholicised bullshit my country has turned in too

Remember school got a half day off when a Catholic got a job in a bank. Plus there's nothing more apartheid than the orange lodge where kids are taught to hate catholics and praise the queen and singing sectarian songs in a cult.

    As a Rangers fan I find this sketch hilarious, but like all the best stories, it is based on myth and legend. Rangers had Catholics in their team in 1872, long before their Catholic rivals Celtc, were even formed in 1888. In fact, there hasn't been a decade where Rangers didn't have Catholics at Ibrox.
