On the other side of Glasgow are the Rangers F.C ultra group The Union Bears. The Union Bears are known for their elaborate fan displays and their support for Northern Irish and Scottish unionism within the UK.

The nickname Teddy Bears became popular during 1970s, inspired by Cockney rhyming slang. If one were to imitate a thick Glasgow accent, Bears will sound like Bers and that then rhymes with the word Gers - a shortened version of Rangers.
