In the (German) Visions magazine, they said that it's not about the Ragners. Martin (Drums): "Ich werde einen Teufel tun und beim Spielen von Scotland's Shame an die Fans der Glasgow Rangers denken. Das würde mir ja den ganzen Abend kaputt machen." which means that he doesn't think of the Rangers fans while playing the song. That would destroy the whole evening. [Sorry for bad English.]
The song is in reference to a term used to describe the supporters of R*ngers anti-football club. The bhoys are die hard celtic supporters too. The drummer has a celtic scarf on his drum kit. Mon teh Mogwai!
@fuckthehuns1 thanks - i went and watched some youtube vids about it - it's unfortunate to label it "Scotland's" shame as though the entire country should be saddled with the responsibility for the actions of a minority
I'd hardly call American skinheads "America's shame" or the overt racism of the Republican party/tea party as "America's shame"
Shame is carried by the individual, not the nation in which they live
Yeah you have a point mate. But I think the term merely alludes to the fact that they bring shame upon Scotland, not that Scotland as a nation carries the burden of their racist views. its just that they are the shameful part of our country.
@fuckthehuns1 Coming from fans who perpetrated the worst racial abuse ever seen at a football match in the UK at Mark Walters I'll treat your comments with the disdain they deserve, bheasts and irony, like oil and water.

Their typical highly reverbed distorted guitar riffs always make me think of a soul getting out of the body, I don't know why...

this song does things to me. Hearing it live was even more stunning.
