Is your sports team and its fans heavily linked with certain political views? Do you hold those views?

Just watched a video on the 5 most political footaball clubs. Unsurprisingly my club Celtic was among them and I hold a lot of the same views.

But you guys still have a leftover from all that Catholic/Protestant divide thing going on up there.
I would have thought that would have died out by now, but maybe it's still prominent.

They have/had similar things in Italy and Spain between certain clubs.
Look at Barcelona and the whole 'Catalonia independence' thing !

@Picklebobble2 It has decreased somewhat but definitely still exists. Celtic still very Irish nationalist and anti-union. Rangers still very much for the union and monarchy. Celtic fans a bit more political with all the left wing and Palestine stuff. Seems Rangers fans now bring Israel flags just bc Celtic fans are pro-Palestine.

Politics still very tied to football in Spain, Italy, Russia and Germany.
