Zombie Huns refers to the supporters of the new TheRangers International Football Club, which they see as resurrected from the dead.

Following the death and self inflicted demise of Rangers FC (good riddance to them), a few chancers tried to buy the assets and start the club again. The winning chancer was an ironically named (Charles) Green.

However, this new owner and the inherited fans are under some strange delusions that it is the same club and that the history and titles were bought. Ridiculous.

Their club committed hara kari with their mishandling of their finances, and there should be no sympathy. For a club that pandered to British nationalism and establishment icons (sic!) it’s an insult that whilst young men were dying in wars abroad this club was avoiding paying taxes whilst on the other profiting on those young soldiers efforts by advertising & promoting some cod-British nationalism to their deluded supporters.

Anyhow, this new entity is not the original Rangers even though the new club was called imaginatively “The Rangers Football Club” (rather than “Sevco”), but a new entity starting at day 0. The cheap efforts to get the new club to be allowed automatic qualification to the SPL was vehemently opposed be the fans of the SPL clubs and they were given short shrift.

The new club was thus christened Zombie Rangers by opposition fans, a term popularised by the Celtic Underground podcast. The reason was to highlight the death of the old club and the real status of the rejuvenated club. No matter what the new club is, it isn’t the old one. The club was the litter of the old and was to be seen as such no matter the squeals of the OldCo Huns.

The assets may be the same but Rangers FC are dead & gone. The new club shares the same name but it is a new entity, however as many of the supporters from the old club have chosen to support the new club, then they were Huns and always will be. This supposed resurrection means they are thus the “Zombie Huns”.

They are just as ugly and scummy a support as ever and the new club is as detestable as the old one.
