The fact a young Scottish athlete would not be welcome to continue his career in his homeland, due to being associated with Rangers is sick and appaling
What are your thoughts? He could definitely be a starter for all but the top 2 sides be mad for him or his agent to discount 10 possible teams to earn a living. How many would take him? Aberdeen and HIVS wouldn't and it's not on the lads abilityCould tell he was only half joking when he said that.
Fair enough, knowing that if it was me I wouldn't give McGuire the steam off ma shite.If you were a Rangers player would you give an interview to someone who labelled your support as "WATP knuckledraggers" ?

Surely Andy who is a rangers man through and through and I,m sure his friends are rangers fans as Well. Excluding the wee rat Scott allan. Would know that they are a couple of rangers haters.Okay then. You've convinced me. Halliday clearly loves the mentally challenged media and wouldn't piss on Rangers fan media if it was on fire.
You've jumped a massive step over my point though. It's not about money, what happens in 4 years time then when he's 32 and wants to start a family and come home, is it not sad he would find it so difficult to earn a living in his homeland as a professional athleteHe would earn far more money abroad in America than for any other side in Scotland bar two

In a short summary, he:
- is obviously disappointed to be leaving but no qualms or bitterness about not being offered a new deal
- is gutted he won't get the chance to say a proper goodbye to his teammates and the staff at the training ground and at Ibrox
- hinted that he thought Gerrard was prepared to offer him a new deal but some of the coaches weren't keen
- feels his best position is in midfield but has been a versatile player all of his career, not just at Rangers
- told a couple of funny stories, including away to Ufa when Gerrard warned Flanagan at half time to tread carefully as we'd already had Morelos sent off, only for him to elbow one of their players in the heed 5 minutes later
- spoke of his fondness for Kenny Miller and Lee Wallace and said they are among the best teammates he'll ever have
- said the scuffle with Joey Barton was blown out of proportion and they actually got on well. It was whatever happened between Barton and Warburton in the manager's office that saw him leave
- spoke about the ridiculousness of his red card against Morton
- reckons his next club is unlikely to be in Scotland as he is not very well liked here. Having no kids makes it easier for him to explore more options in England or abroad
I dont find that credible at all. Everyone at the club will be briefed on which journos are friendly and which not to trust and this show must be up there with one of the least Rangers friendly going. If that's not happening then it's a total failure from the club to protect its players. Now I appreciate he's no longer our player and free to speak to whoever he likes but he really should be choosing wiser.People surely realise football players live in a completely different world from your average fan. They wont sit on message-boards for hours a day and dissect every little negative thing ever written or said about Rangers or the fans etc.
Halliday will just see Martin as a normal media pundit who he doesn't think twice about and gave an interview to him.
Calm down mr staunch, he’s doing an interview with 4lads as well.Agree entirely, wont watch that fat scumbags work and pay for his fish suppers.
Could have spoken to 4lads or something. Poor show Andy.

Perhaps a bad choice to use a mentally challenged who has stuck the boot into us from every media platform he has been on. But at the same time, Andy rose above it and only had good things to say about our club that would never get aired there otherwise. He spoke very well as you would expect.Find it strange anyone could watch this and have anything other than positive words to say.
Andy spoke very positively about team mates, staff (including unsung heroes), players and of course fans as well as our chances of kicking on next season - which as we know many of players who had been let go would have found difficult. For me, it gave me confidence in the management team leading our club forward.
One thing is for sure he will continue to speak well of our club to any mainstream media - which is more than can be said for a lot of ex players who took more from our club than Andy ever has.
I agree 100% however I very much doubt we now have that type of figure in an around the dressing room. Players like him are worth their weight in gold.His time was now to go. The club is trying to go up a level. The player will understand. He gave us his all. He’s got MLS interest. He’d be daft not to take a deal there
Good interview, although he probably would have stayed, I actually think him playing regular football in his peak years will be better for him.In a short summary, he:
