So - in summary.
Fenian is used as a catch all term to mean catholics and is therefore offensive, sectarian and bigoted. Hun is not used as a catch all term for anyone except Rangers supporters although Hearts, Killie, Ayr, St Mirren and other clubs have been called Huns in the past due to the fact they "Act Like Rangers Supporters" whatever that means, and is therefore not offensive, sectarian or bigoted. You couldnt make it up. |

Instances of this are fairly rare. Hearts would be the only club that get called this on any sort of regular basis (the mini's or diets) and the reason for this would be obvious to anyone who has visited tynecastle and heard their songbook or witnessed them celebrating each goal rangers scored v killie when celtic hosted hearts on last day of season. The reference being that they are similar to the huns but smaller. |

Oh! I forgot to add to that summary!
When Celtic fans talk about fenians, or sing about fenians - this is of course in an entirely different manner to the "Catch all term for catholics" and is therefore not insinuating religious boundaries whatsoever. |
