Kemar Roofe insists Rangers are bigger than Leeds United after being put on the spot about his two former 49ers<\/a>-owners clubs.<\/p>\n

The striker played for the two giants of British football and was asked which of the two were bigger during an appearance on the Undr the Cosh podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A listener sent in a question asking for Roofe to settled the debate after he spent three years at Elland Road and four at Ibrox, where he was part of Steven Gerrard<\/a>\u2019s squad that won the Scottish Premiership title<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And he explained why he feels the Light Blues are bigger. He said: \u201cBoth of them massive, massive, massive.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnywhere I go in the world I will bump into Rangers or Leeds fans but fanbase-wise I would have to say Rangers<\/a> because Leeds<\/a> is just Leeds.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Rangers is people in Glasgow who support Rangers or Celtic and then outside of Glasgow, Scottish people will support their local team plus either Rangers or Celtic.<\/p>\n

Kemar Roofe answers the big questions<\/p>\n

\u201cThen you go to Ireland, Northern Ireland. It\u2019s one of the two again. And then you come to England and they have an English and a Scottish team as well so there\u2019s more people who seem to support Rangers whereas Leeds fans are pretty much from Leeds.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s down to Rangers having the ability and more scope because they have English people who have a Scottish team as well.<\/p>\n

And then he was asked: \u201cFollowing on from that, who did you prefer playing for?\u201d<\/p>\n

Roofe laughed: \u201cYou\u2019re really trying to kill me here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 32-year-old striker played for both clubs who are now in the 49ers stable and was asked to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":353769,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,2628,393,4884,124867,1860,24464,1946,22140,1638,10246,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-353768","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-celtic-fc","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-kemar-roofe","13":"tag-leeds","14":"tag-leeds-united-fc","15":"tag-rangers-fc","16":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","17":"tag-scottish-premiership","18":"tag-steven-gerrard","19":"tag-uk","20":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115048911519859660","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=353768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353768\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/353769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=353768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=353768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=353768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
