Your term was a new one for me, so I had a look. Were you using it in a naive sense, or something more sinister? Follow Follow is not a rabbit hole that you want to explore.

Absolutely. I did a quick search as I'd never heard the term applied to football. Looking at that, I don't really think it should be; perhaps best left in Glasgow.

Tbf pretty much every club in Scotland call Rangers fans “huns” in the context of being the enemy more than anything sectarian (at which of course both cheeks of the Glasgow arse are undoubtedly world class) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the odd thing- reading the article, it seems that initially it was Celtic that were referred to as "Huns". I get the back story, just never heard the name.

They actually have wingers who get down the touchline and and actually cross it in with their strong foot rather than cutting back all the time. Such a dieing art, great to see. I didn't watch Luton today but presume they rested a few to keep them fit for the big cup tie next week, so 2-3 a decent result with a 2nd string team.

Glad he only stayed at Wigan for a short spell, and didn't score for them. I would say he could play at a decent level in England, which he could, but if he's not on free kicks and penalties because someone else is, he doesn't score half the goals he gets for Rangers. If he plays in the same team as Ward Prowse or Trippier he doesn't get a look in. Talking of derbies in Scotland, what a goal by Shankland to win the Edinburgh one. He looks quality and has scored loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie depends on who you ask as there are various explanations and no one really knows One I heard is it's something to do with coal mining and a Geordie lamp that miners there used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
