This incident = Rangers complaining.
1999 incident = Rangers complaining.
1996 incident = Rangers complaining.

So, are the Rangers simply non-Catholic trouble makers; or are they totally non-Christian?

are the Rangers simply non-Catholic trouble makers

Rangers are the Protestant team and Celtic are the Catholic team in Glasgow. There is plenty of strife between their supporters. I wouldn't think either side has a monopoly on making trouble. A bunch of hooligans like pretty much all footie fans. Give me cricket or rugby any day.

The first. I remember reading a long time ago that Claudio Reyna of the U.S. appeared at his first Rangers practise wearing a green jersey, and they had him change. (Green being associated with Irish Catholics).

Celtic-Rangers is a rivalry that has traditionally been religious and there has been a ton of religious hatred in it. Celtic has traditionally been a team supported by Catholics and Rangers by non-catholics. Celtic (although in Scotland) has traditionally had a lot of Irish support and the fans sometimes used to sing IRA songs. It was a huge controversy about fifteen years ago when Rangers signed a catholic player. A lot of their fans really didn't like the idea of a non protestant on the team. Both clubs have been working hard over the last few years to clamp down on sectarian violence and bigotry and this is an offshoot of that. I don't think you would have seen a player getting in trouble for this were it any other two teams in the UK. I hope this background helps.

Every dead and decadent member state of The Europeon Neo-Soviet, including those comprising its squalidly fascissocialistic offshore satellite states -- and most particularly effectively-communist Scotland -- are froth and foam-flecked post-Christian and Christian hating.

Anyone ever born in Glasgow with a brain, barely made it into his teens before quitting that socialist sh*t-hole for as far away as he could get without beginning to head up the other side of the world! To be engineers on ships sailing from the South of England and/or to places like New Zealand and Australia and Southern Africa and the West Coast of the United States.

From the BBC

In 1999 leading QC Donald Findlay resigned his position as vice chairman of Rangers after he was caught on video singing a sectarian song, The Billy Boys, after the Rangers v Celtic Scottish Cup final.

He was also fined £3,500 by the Faculty of Advocates.

In 1995 Paul Gascoigne, playing for Rangers, landed himself in trouble in a pre-season Old Firm friendly as he mimicked playing the flute, infuriating many Celtic supporters who saw the act as a loyalist symbol.

Gascoigne, who was unaware of the significance, was disciplined by the Scottish FA

So, no, it's not just Rangers complaining.
