I won't speak for anyone else, but addressing the Dundee teams I'll make a couple of points.
Before the referendum there were two active pressure groups in Dundee surrounding the football - United for Yes and Dees for Yes. The home game before the referendum United for Yes were handing out signs for fans to hold up at games and most United supporters refused to take them. I certainly did. We generally don't want to mix football and politics and I think that's right.
Having said that, there is a tendency for a couple of people to wave a Union Flag in the 'Derry', the stand up the touchline for the more vocal Dundee fans. I would expect that to happen tomorrow and I wouldn't be surprised if there is a reaction to that tomorrow with things being so raw. I'm not sure if that reaction will be confined to United fans either.
Normally the Dundee derby is a fantastic advert for two sets of fans to have a proper 90 minute rivalry then go back to being pals and meeting in the pub after the game. I expect that to continue tomorrow.
and most United supporters refused to take them. I certainly did

Just to clarify that point as it's not very clear, I refused to take anything from them even as a solid Yes voter.
I'm just going by the teams in certain cities that voted yes or no!
Dundee and glasgow were both big yeses

What a sweeping generalisation
Right a lot of rangers fans then? This is becoming increasingly off topic

I'm not? I never at any point stated that rangers fans are in the no.camp?
What a bitter, bitter bunch the minority of Yes voters have proven to be

Pretty sure fans are part of the populace and most of them would have voted on thusrday, bet they all voted Yes or No.
The only football related issue in all this is the national anthem, can we really sing "For we will arise now and be a nation again" when we voted to remain part of the Union?
I've opened up a debate on a topic that I think could be a cause for concern amongst people. Tensions run high as it is! And with this extra divide in amongst it it's hardly going to help.
Utter rubbish. You were after trying to get a pathetic 'wan up' on Rangers supporters.
Elite.my point is
At the next rangers, Celtic, Dundee games l! Half of people will.be yes and half of people will be no! Due to rangers songs they are more inclined with no (obviously) and I'm wondering what the yes rangers fans would think about that! The opposite could be said for dundee fans!
Aye gio that's exactly what I was trying to do!
