I've done the Ibrox tour 3 or 4 times and the trophy room always fascinates me.  So many quirky trophies and gifts have been amassed over the years.  Even a bicycle from St Etienne, a gift from Churchill and the famous Loving Cup which is part of an annual, tradition that still goes on which I won't go into just now.



Watching such a video reminds me of the intricacies, depth and meaning that is within football, especially Rangers.  One on hand, it makes me want to come back and be part of it, but on the other hand makes me even more angry how many working class fans have been priced out of the game for years ultimately because of money and commercialism.  Players playing for clubs and not knowing about or caring about their history and/or culture, games being played at stupid times/days to get more money, everything being about professionalism and careerism rather than a love for the club, inflated prices and fans having to join membership schemes to get tickets for certain games... it all annoys me.

Yes, I absolutely do think about this things too deeply, but it's just the way I am I suppose

Love doing tours of football grounds. Have done many down south and a few abroad but have not fone Ibrox. Next time I'm having a wee break in Glasgow I am going to take the missus and do a tour of Ibrox

What ones have you done down south and abroad mate?  I've only ever done the Ibrox one.  I enjoy the history, culture and everything that surrounds football far more than the football itself so would love to take in some others.

The Loving Cup ceremonies are quite funny.

Abroad was the Nou Camp,the Bernabeau and the Amsterdam Arena
Ive done tours of The Den 🦁, The Emirates, StJames Park, The Stadium of Light, Anfield, Old Trafford, The Etihad.
I have not done a tour but have been behind the scenes as such at Dens Park and Tynecastle.

Also done tours of Wimbledon , Lords and Notts cricket ground.

Like you I love the history etc.
Will carry on doing tours when I can. Really looking forward to going round Ibrox

'Kinell Mo, that is impressive! I think I may have asked you this a while back.

I've been to the Nou Camp, Stadium of Light, St James' and Old Trafford but never done tours.

I suppose it's a good thing that Sevco managed to buy back the history when they started the new club

Indeed, I hope the bunnites have learned a cultural lesson from it though. Their support were instrumental in liquidation occurring through their culture of forelock-tuggery towards Murray and his familiars.

Celtic fans have always been different. When we detect trouble in our boardroom, we act.

You were literally minutes from going to the wall until McCann and Dempsey stepped in. Your fans done hee haw.

McCann and Dempsey literally were fans saving the club and the ousting of the old board came directly from a grassroots campaign of pressure from the supporters.

There were protests, boycotts and all manner of activities.

You can’t deny that it was very different from the approach of Rangers fans to mismanagement of their club.

You were lucky you had two wealthy fans out of all the wealthy Celtic supporters here and around the world that were prepared to put their money where their mouths were. If they hadn't, Parkhead would be a Tesco or houses.

And the Sellik fans hated McCann.
Ungrateful bastards.
