"I'm the champion and I wanted to show that to
everybody. If it was Ibrox, sorry. It was simple. I was just
celebrating that we are the champions. I don't see anything weird
with this" - Artur Boruc.
The Queen's Celtic goalkeeper just can't understand why
anybody would get angry at him for charging round Pope's O'Rangers'
home waving a flag saying 'Champions' last weekend.
Sheer quality...

I thought Celtic and Rangers were the other way round.
Celtic = Republican, Pope's own
Rangers = Unionist, Queen's own.

And I thought the O' implied a catholic surname...

good points all - the answer has been supplied to me from a Celtic
forum...
The Guardian's daily football email "The Fiver" has a
relatively quirky sense of humour - and they've always refered to
these teams by those names but why?
Purely as a massive windup to the Catholic / Protestant
supporters of both clubs...
Queen's Celtic - 'cos there all raving Catholics...and aren't
impressed overly with her Majesty's family's defending of the
'wrong' faith...
Pope's O'Rangers - 'cos they'd rather been seen dead being
supported by his Holiness and no-one with a Catholic, Irish O'
before there name will ever be allowed into Ibrox.
So - it's a windup...and, according to the Celtic Forum,
"Someone always bites..."
