Goalkeepers: Craig Gordon, David Marshall, Jon McLaughlin
Defenders: Liam Cooper, Declan Gallagher, Grant Hanley, Jack Hendry, Scott McKenna, Stephen O'Donnell, Nathan Patterson, Andy Robertson, Greg Taylor, Kieran Tierney
Midfielders: Stuart Armstrong, Ryan Christie, John Fleck, James Forrest, Ryan Fraser, Billy Gilmour, John McGinn, Callum McGregor, Scott McTominay, David Turnbull
Forwards: Che Adams, Lyndon Dykes, Kevin Nisbet

Looks grand. Loads of premier league and the European experience. Bring it on!

I agree - decent squad.

I'd start Gordon ahead of the others. I'd also start Nisbet ahead of Adams.

The theme is that the forwards don't come from Rangers or Celtic?

That the best Scottish players have mostly at some point, played for one of the best 2 teams in Scotland?

Hardly surprising.

Yeah, that’s why it’s a theme.

Spotted another theme:

most of them are Scottish



Fair amount of Aberdeen in there, more too if Jack, Maclean, Considine had made it.

In the world of law, no criminality doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, but the average Joe Bloggs on the street will take it to mean that.
I’m am entirely not surprised it’s not going any further. Difficult to identify who is singing it amongst them. Although I would think the goalkeeper with his middle finger raised at the appropriate moment is sleeping slightly easier tonight.

Black international players, half of whom in that clip are Catholic, not from Scotland, and a few who barely speak English, FTP'ing?

Yeah, no bother

I am beyond caring now with the faux outrage towards the players. Some people spending hours pouring over a video absolutley DESPERATE to be offended by it.


Rangers have released a statement:

Embarrassed for scoopdydoo. The whole limmy sketch with the “don’t back doon,double doon” comes to mind

It’s almost like tik tok is a social media platform that people dub over videos with but hey ho

Rangers have commenced legal proceedings against “certain individuals” for comments this week. I’d maybe delete your nonsense Scooby

Maybe MacGregor was sticking his finger in the air signifying the First title won!

Please don’t be embarrassed for me, dalzo. I’m doing quite well, thanks.

Salmond got off too, you know...

I've sat on the fence over this as I'm not sure what was said. It's a very well used phrase by Rangers and their support so it wouldn't be any surprise if it was used.

I was surprised Rangers dismissed the video as faked and Rangers fans edited the key point of the video out that people were convinced. I looked suspicious as the few videos circulating were all identical to my ears. I wasn't sure what I was hearing, but denying the content would have been the obvious thing. Clearly the videos did contain the words.

With the risk of causing upset, do bear in mind the Kudela v. Kamara case also hasn't progressed to any legal charges. We aren't going to now call Kamara mistaken as it didn't progress to a conviction? I'm not.

Could you please help me understand your point here? I’m reading these statements as contradictory.

Are you saying Rangers players were clearly singing F the P?

Rangers dismissed the videos in circulation as faked. For them to dismiss the videos circulating as fake then they obviously thought the content contained the offensive chant.

I wouldn't go as far as clearly as I can't hear, but I wouldn't be surprised. It is so commonly used.

This is exactly the point. Are they fake? Both of them? From different angles with the same audio? Or are they not saying what people think they're saying?

All the police can do is ask those present what was said, I can't see anyone saying, 'Yes officer one or two were singing FTP'.

Rangers said the videos were fake. The fans edited footage to prove innocence chopping the key point out. Anytime the footage was posted it was instantly deleted even when it was ambiguous. It all looked highly suspicious.

I don't know how to tell if videos are faked, but all the videos were identical to my ears. If someone was going to fake the footage they wouldn't have made it so hard to decipher. The footage looked normal to me.

The fans sing it every week, it's a common term on internet forums, why are people pretending it's so abhorrent that the players sung it in a known song?
