The OP or someone else may correct me, but I don't think the most off their tits supporters i.e. the old firm, bother with the national team.

what? I picked the only photo I've seen. Are you suggesting the banner says something other than "kill all huns"?

It's a derogatory term used by Catholics against Protestants.
Same as Rangers call Celtic "Tims".

Why huns though?

It’s used as a derogatory term for Rangers fans, and in Northern Ireland, an often used terms for Protestants (I was told that by an former IRA fella on a taxi tour)
Both sides of the bigot brothers need to grow up.
Does anyone know what it means though? why the word huns?

I presume you're including Aberdeen in that 'bigot brothers' dig?

I don’t know does it? Surely you would have a better photo by now, I saw this one at kick off this afternoon.
Could say
Roll all buns
Roll all huns
Kill all buns.
Needs clarification imo

Most commonly used explanation, and there are a few, is during the First World War orange order and Rangers men in Glasgow took jobs in shipyards to avoid having to serve their country in France. Catholics weren’t allowed employment in shipyards so off they had to go to serve the cowardly others’ King and country.
The British press, when this became common knowledge ran the headlines “No better than the Huns”
It’s stuck ever since.

I believe the term hun came from a newspaper years ago when rangers fans trashed a town. The problem is; it’s been hijacked and is now used as a derogatory term within Northern Ireland for Protestants.
I have no time for either side (despite being from Irish decent) and it’s time people just started to grow up

Awful stuff which should be punished.
Should leave this sort of shit to the Old Firm to embarrass themselves with.

Clarification, Still waiting…….
Oh and the hypocritical manner from your post stinks.
You want me to post all of your sectarian misdemeanours from Twitter and on here?

You’re right there marra. It’s a derogatory term for Protestants used frequently in Northern Ireland. There’s not a chance that plenty enough Aberdeen supporters wouldn’t know that. Even if we give the dickheads behind the banner the benefit of doubt and suggest that in this instance it’s purely aimed at effectively, “kill all rangers supporters” it’s hardly a huge move towards acceptable ffs.

Not a clue. Just know that from being over in Belfast that it shouldn’t be used.
Sad thing is; I can probably name 5 posters that would happily use it.

"kill all huns" is a phrase which is splattered all over the walls of Belfast and other areas of Northern Ireland. That's not there for Rangers fans.
It is sectarian.

No love lost between Aberdeen and Rangers.
Goes back to when Neil Cooper of Aberdeen mangled Ian Durrant of Rangers knee in a game back in the 80's.
