There’s a famous saying amongst Rangers fans that those who don’t understand, don’t matter.
It’s a mantra which remains central to the experience of following the Glasgow giants, a club which has a following amongst the most loyal, if not the most loyal, in the global game.
From the highs of Rangers’ storied history to the depths of the club’s financial collapse in 2012, the support of the Ibrox faithful has never been in doubt.
It’s a special relationship and one which many, metaphorically at the very least, would be willing to die for.
And that’s what one famous Scottish musician has been talking about this week as he details his teenage love affair with the famous Glasgow Rangers and how far he’d have gone to show his loyalty.
Rangers fans of a certain vintage will be well aware of The Jesus and Mary Chain.
Founded by brothers Jim and William Reid, the band was born out of East Kilbride in 1983 and since then they’ve released eight albums, across two spells in operation.
Their 1985 album Psychocandy is one of the most iconic releases of the decade, with that grungy yet melodically soft sound still played on repeat in some places today.
