Rangers on the other hand employed a no catholic employment or player policy to be excusively prodestant up until as recently as the late 80s.

Let that sink in for a minute.

Now you can probably see where the hatred eminates from.

I understand that the Catholic-Protestant dynamic is different in the UK than in the USA. But that is still messed up. Knowing this, I shall root against Rangers even though I am not Catholic.
