The Song Lyrics He Won’t Even Mention …
“We are Rangers, Super Rangers, no one likes us, we don’t care”. I won’t type the next line for reasons those familiar with the song will understand, but the opening line refused to leave my mind last weekend as 15,000 of my fellow Rangers fans decided to break the Scottish Government’s lockdown rules by descending on George Square to celebrate the ‘Invincibles’ on trophy day.”
Right there, he’s off to the worst possible start.
What a pathetic opener, to quote the first lines of the song but to refrain from quoting the rest.
If he had quoted the rest the whole tenor of the piece would have been very different.
It would have hit hard.
The refrain that “we hate Celtic fenian bastards” is what this entire debate should be about.
He has chosen to just skip over the whole point, which for me renders the entire article worthless before he’s even got past the first couple of lines.
Because if they aren’t the focus of the piece, what exactly is the point of it?
This is a song sung not by hundreds of their fans and not by thousands of their fans but by tens of thousands of their fans and he cannot seriously do a piece urging them to get their house in order and calling those who frequently disgrace the club “enemies within” without tackling the ugly truth; that removing this from the support is going to be beyond difficult because it’s ingrained in it.
McIver doesn’t actually think that those words are the ones we should be focussed on.
He thinks that there’s a more important line in the song, which says it all.
