About this site

Please take a couple of minutes to read about what this site is, and what it is not - it will give you ideas on how to get most from the site.

What this site is NOT.

1. Official. This site has neither official nor formal connection with Rangers Football Club.

2. A Business. We are not part of any media conglomeration; we do not have a constitution; we do not exist as a company, formal partnership, nor other business. We don't have a bank account. We're not trying to sell you anything. No-one is paid for their input to the site. We do not carry adverts.

3. Vanguardbears does not set out to be a news site for Rangers FC; there are dozens of sites that do that. We also have no intention of being told what to do or say by corrupt politicians or bigoted media outlets. Vanguard is a site primarily for Rangers supporters and Unionists.

5. Censorious. You can say what you like how you like. The editorial policy will not impinge on what you say unless you're abusive, a racist, a homophobe, or promoting illegal activity.


What this site is.

1. It's about being a Rangers Fan. All the articles here are from Rangers fans. All contributions are welcome. We will defend our club, culture and heritage from the political and sectarian agenda being orchestrated within Scotland, at all times.

2. Loyal supporters. An observation: the contributors to the site, the forums are passionate supporters from all over the world who pride themselves on supporting the greatest football team in Scotland, and our traditions.

3. Opinionated. Whilst this site is not primarily a fanzine, it will on occasions be a source of opinion on the news concerning the club and football in general.

4. Concerned with fan issues. Whilst we are without doubt the most successful club in Scottish football history, we still have a ticket office which shames our club at times; a lack of consultation with fans by the club; our appalling PR, annd witnessing an increasing role for corporate partners with agendas of their own within the club set-up and branding, and are witnessing ever greater disruption of our footballing patterns to meet the schedules of broadcasters. Apparently we used to play at 3pm on a Saturday. This site is a platform for outspoken and sometimes irreverent opinion on these issues.


5. A lively community. The site was launched by likeminded people who were concerned about the bias and hatred being shown towards our support and football club in general, by journalists, politicians and militant supporters of other clubs.
