          that's a good question considering there is more sheep around the glasgow area than there is the aberdeen area?

                Yeah because Aberdeen is so far up north Scotland people from Glasgow & Endinburgh have called Aberdonians Sheep Shaggers for years. Now most fans of other clubs in Scotland call Aberdeen sheep shaggers - which to be fair to the Aberdeen fans they take quite well. There sometimes a few of them dressed as sheep & they have the occasional song referring to sheep.

                  a sheep shagger is a word used to describe dockers who unloaded ships at liverpool docks ie bales of cotton in the 19th century,their fellow workers refered to them as sheep shaggers because by doing this work their clothing would be covered in cotton fibres.hence the derogatory term (sheep shaggers...so in theory (scousers).
