Glasgow Rangers In Poland (Poznań)

I recently moved to Poland and not only do i think i might be the only Scottish person in Poznań, i feel that because of Artur Boruc i might be the only Glasgow Rangers fan in the city to... Hope someone tells me this isnt so

Sorry to but it seems polish have soft spot for celtic. At least the ones over here do due to some polish players they had/have

Shouldnt support any of the two IMHO anyway. Support your local team or St. Mirren :)

I'm telling you, it is like that. Face it. You are the only Glasgow Rangers fan, not only in Poznan, but also in the whole of Poland and Europe for that matter.


:)

M-G (is there something like scottish football?)

Hei Matt, you may not be the only Scottish person in Poznań...But don't know about football fans though ;) Let's support Lech Poznań, they're currently 3rd, after Wisła Kraków (1st) and Legia Warszawa (2nd)...Hehe
Both Celtic and Rangers have good teams...isn't one of the "problems" the religion (again) of the fans ? The Celtics are Catholic while the Rangers are Protestant...i may be totally wrong, dunno ;)

dont worry matt.

you are not alone,,i am half scottish and half polish ,but support celtic.i am going over topoland in may,to a place called lomza,but the team is not that good.

good luck in poland.brian

Now that’s hard to believe. As an old Polish joke goes: Who are the people from Poznań? They are Scots banished to the Islands for being too extravagant. So you see Scots and Poznaniacy are One and the Same.

HAY I'm A BLUE NOSE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

Good advice. Queens Park, Partick Thistle etc

Welcome to the forums by the way.

theres not a team like the glasgow rangers ;)

Thank god!!!

Artur Boruc is from Legia Warszawa (Legia Warsaw). Here in Poznan we really dont like Legia (we hate Legia to be honest). So don't worry we aren't big Boruc fans ;]
We like Maciej Zurawski. He is from Poznan, but he doesn't play in Celtic already, so don't worry we have nothing against Rangers in Poznan :) Sorry for my English

He has moved to Larissa in Greece last I heard don

Yes, Żurawski moved to Larissa. And scored in first match (1:0 against AEK Athens, and his team won). (proud :P) He was born in Poznań and started to playing football in Lech Poznań.
And, yes, don is right: We in Poznań hate Legia. I don`t like Boruc, but i think is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. But, i realy want to see good European football team in Poznań.

my man supports glasgow rangers :)

we i support the Famous Glasgow Celtic

well noone is perfect hu? :)

Come on Rangers! Kick the Celts' arses!

The Holly golie please stop the huns

Mon the Hoops!!

Come on the Gers!

most of my great friends in poland are rangers fans

Dont hold it against them....... they are not only the unwashed but also the uneducated.

yeah, i think that is why celtic are big in ireland as well.

This is true.... to an extend, Celtic are a Scottish club with strong Irish roots, roots we are still proud of today, but always has been and always will be a club for all of the people.

Celtic have never ever been Exclusively a catholic club, in-fact some of our greatest servant's were Protestants, including the clubs greatest ledgend, the immortal Jock Stein and Celtic have signed players on their merits as a footballer from day 1 rather than their creed colour or religion..

Rangers on the other hand, had a policy of not signing catholics from their first days, a policy that was still in place till as late as 1990 when they signed the first high profile catholic in Mo Johnston

further more the have only had 1 catholic manager in their history and this came only 2 years ago with the signing of Frenchman Paul Le Guen.

To go back to an earlier point made, Celtic enjoy a great support in Ireland because the Club was formed by a Catholic brother (Walfrid) in 1888 to help the poor any needy in the east end of Glasgow, which was mostly populated by the immigrants from Ireland at that time. and now in 2008 most if not all Scottish catholics (only 700,000 in a country of 5million) have roots dating back to Ireland.

but i have lived in Dublin for a few years, and other teams like Manchester Utd and Liverpool enjoy a better "support" in football terms, people here though have an emotional tie to Celtic.

I'm listening to Rangers, who are about to beat St. Johnstone on the way to the scottish cup final along with the three other trophies they are going to or have won already, that will be four, not a bad season :):):)

We are the people

i like that in a person tornado, someone who come has total belief in their team!

although it is a pretty bold statement, given that we (Celtic) won the last OF game, and are currently at the top of the league!! ( games in hand arnt necessarily points in the bag) with a helluva lot of fitba to be played yet...

but ye had the balls tae open you mouth and say what you did, and i like that.

I just wonder will your mouth be open just as wide when they very words are being rammed back down your throat.....

say hello tae 3 in a row!!
