Spec me a Scottish team

spudbynight · 1 Jul 2012 at 12:08

My home team is Crystal Palace (that is where I am from) but for the last 25 years or so I have cheered on Rangers as my "Scottish Team"

With the current attitude of the SFA and also the majority of those associated with the club I don't feel I can support them any longer.

I need to find a new club in Scotland to look out for. I don't want to associate with any club that is associated with anything really other than football. Celtic are out as are Hibs & Hearts.

As a Palace fan I am not a glory hunter so open to all sort of suggestions.

Dundee United.

What sort of things do Dundee Utd have in their favour?

At the moment there is something drawing me towards St. Johnstone.

What about ICT, their strip is similar to palace's?

Celtic?

Try something different follow Dundee, I'm sure Speroni would recommend them.

I don't want any clubs with an association with any sort of nastiness.

Funnily enough that is the best idea so far.

This is close though...

Better give Aberdeen and most of the central belt teams a pass also then. Sorry couldn't resist.

Falkirk have a decent footballing philosophy.

If you want to avoid teams with similar financial history to Rangers, ignore Dundee, Motherwell and Livingston

If you are looking at SPL teams, Ross County are the team for you.

Does it have to be a SPL team?

What about Cowdenbeath?
or

Berwick scotland's "english" team.

Can be any side - I just want someone whose results I can follow.

Brechin, nice little place and ground!

Ayr United?

Seems you have an issue with lies/corruption and Ayr United's nickname is "The Honest Men". They were relegated last season so not a great team but I don't suppose that matters

You would be fine with Celtic then

Firhill for thrills. My old local team that I used to go see from time to time with a few crazy friends who where full-on supporters. Expect little and enjoy the unexpected.

May I suggest St Mirren? We gave you Andy Dorman and although it didnt work out for him, he's a club legend up here.

Our new away strip is black with a red stripe, like a reverse palace strip, a small club affected mostly by sitting in the shadows of the old firm, crowds of 4-5000 but an attacking flair filled team.

To be honest any of the provincial clubs are a safe bet, I always liked Dundee Utd as a kid just cos I liked the strips.
