The tiresome tirade of faux offence continues, this time in what is a seemingly co-ordinated attack on all things Rangers, the promo video for the 150th anniversary kit has been targeted.
Yes, the Four Lads Had a Dream song is deemed inappropriate because it is used in another form (the offensive ‘Famine Song’ chant).
Michael Stweart has now weighed in on this latest contrived matter with a heavy dose of indignation.
Why this tune? This is supposedly a celebration, so why use a tune so offensive to many, a tune connected to a song that some Rangers fans were charged for singing only last month. Why would you do this? https://t.co/iHsyHqAtmw

It is almost beyond parity.
What they are saying is that because a tune is used in one form, it is unacceptable and cannot be used at all – absolutely ridiculous, never mind that the original is a classic pop tune, the Beach Boys ‘Sloop John B’.
Stewart piles in with a further slur on Rangers, “This is supposedly a celebration” – that is exactly what it is to anyone of a reasonable and sound mind but apparantly the 150th anniversary of the club and a special commemorative kit is actually a smokescreen for racism and an alterior motive.
Oh dear, where to start.
Maybe it is Rangers very existence that bothers some so much. Quite simply, such people cannot be reasoned with, when their minds are so made up in seeing what they want to see.
It is depressing and removes the possiblility of serious, proper dialogue on actual matters of contention and difference.
Welcome to Scotland, 2021.
