RANGERS Football Club will welcome around 400 armed services personnel and Erskine veterans to Ibrox on Saturday in honour of Remembrance Day.
The Rangers first team will wear special poppy strips against Peterhead as a mark of respect and representatives from each of the armed forces and a veteran from Erskine will lead the teams onto the pitch before the game as a tribute to all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
All those present from the armed forces and Erskine will have the opportunity to come onto the pitch at half-time where they are certain to receive an amazing welcome from the Rangers support.
The Rangers Charity Foundation is also hosting a can collection on the day in aid of veterans’ charity PoppyScotland, which supports ex-servicemen and women and their families.
As always, the Rangers fans are sure to give generously to this collection, which will help veterans in Scotland receive the care and support they urgently need.
Remembrance activities on the day will include music from army pipers, abseiling from the Royal Marines and the firing of an L118 artillery gun within the Stadium to mark the observation of a minute silence.
There will also be a card display in the stands arranged by the Rangers Supporters Assembly.

Forest have had hundreds of soldiers parade the pitch before on remembrance day, as have plenty of other clubs probably.

We have invited a load of soldiers again today like every year and as Forest said most clubs do it.
Its a good gesture but it does not make you the greatest fans in the world.

Your club does all of that fan funded?
The match ball will also be brought down from the top of the main stand by abseiler's.

Best fans in the world my fucking arse, they have some of the worse fans that also love to abuse their own players when things are going bad for them, and for years they would not have a catholic playing for their club. Best fans my arse, and ive got relations who have followed Rangers for years and they would tell you the same about some of these so called best fans in the world.

I posted this in the chat thread
Using Rememberance Day as a PR stunt for Rangers so your fans can brag about being the greatest fans in the world .. WOW
If Rangers cared about the armed forces .. how about that £93m of unpaid tax?
Not only that but it's extreme nationalistic nonsense. They are summing up everything that has gone wrong with the ethos behind Remembrance weekend. It is typical of them to take something that has had a degree of dignity attached to it and turn it into something that is triumphalist, classless, and tacky.

This thread is genuinely gross. Using dead soldiers to make your club look good is pretty low.
It's exploitation. It's like shady politicians going to soup kitchens for photo ops to make themselves look better.

What? We do it every year, it's not like we just decided to do it for one time only to make us look good.
Please, don't comment on something you know absolutely nothing about.
Just like we lay a wreath outside every year, it's a club tradition. The entire thing.

What is this snake you are talking about. I see no snakes.

On YouTube, you can play a game of Snake while the video loads. I forgot how to exactly load the game, but if you keep on clicking on the arrow keys it should eventually start up.

No, that's wrong. Rangers ( the old club now deceased ) only started doing all this jingoistic pish a handful of years ago and it's absolutely sickening. Soldiers abseiling down from the stands? A big cannon on the pitch? Members of the military on the field celebrating and having a party? Please, don't try and pretend this is anything other than a 'loot at us' exercise.
What happened at Ibrox yesterday is a million miles away from what Remembrance Sunday is all about. It's a solemn and respectful occasion where we remember our war dead from all conflicts. The way Rangers ( the deceased club and now this new club ) are using this occasion to point score and party is a slap in the face to all who suffered in conflict. This isn't an excuse for a party or pantomime, but that's what it was at Ibrox yesterday.
How your club can use this occasion in this manner is absolutely sickening.

Maestro, why don't you just post this shit yourself? You've made like 10 dupes in 1 night by yourself. Or did 10 celtic supporters just find the forum and join to make 1 post? Congratulations, you've learned how to use a proxy. Save your claims of innocence for somebody who is interested, going to these lengths to get around the ignore filter. Pretty sad.
Do actually believe anyone would think it wasn't you? Even with your 'check my IP address', 'so bitter temps lmao' claims etc. Shows how think you really are.
You've achieved your goal, you got my attention. Go and celebrate, relish your achievements. Everybody is happy for you, you deserve it.
It'll be either that or the 'omg, he's schizophrenic ahahaha bullshit'.
