Scottish giants Celtic are back on top of the pile among British clubs after research suggested Hoops supporters swear more than any other fanbase, while Manchester United are back above Liverpool
Scotland are back at the head of the table among British football clubs – at least when it comes to putting pounds in the swear jar.
That’s after the results of a recent study indicated Celtic supporters have the foulest mouths of any fanbase in the land.
Ticketgum.com analysed the subreddit pages of every UK football club and found Hoops followers swore most frequently of any team, posting a profanity every 100 words on average.
In typical fashion, Old Firm rivals Rangers didn’t want to get left behind and placed second in the pecking order, with their fans swearing once every 104 words.
And while the gulf between the two Glasgow clubs may be massive, they share a common cause in that each fanbase’s cuss word of choice is ‘f*****g’ (closely followed by ‘f***’).

That was the case for half of the top 10 teams, where Championship outfits Cardiff City (a swear every 105 words) and Leeds (108) placed third and fourth, respectively. And the Bluebirds are particularly staunch advocates of the word ‘f*****g’, which made up more than 20% of their expletives.
Newcastle United are doing well on and off the pitch of late after finishing as the highest-placed Premier League outfit in fifth (116). The same can’t be said for Manchester United in terms of on-field performance, having seen their Champions League hopes crushed after drawing 3-3 at Galatasaray on Wednesday.
