Players that picked us over them.

[Otis Blue]

I have the impression that if both Rangers and them have been in for a player over the years , more often than not the player comes to us. Maybe just paper talk at the time that both teams are interested mind you. Can anyone think of players that we have signed over the years and we have beaten them to it. Permanent or loans. Sorry if this has been posted before, I’m not sure.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Novo said no to them

 

[TheGoalie11]

Novo
Adamczuk

Caniggia and Khizanishvili maybe?

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

Let's not forget Hartson initially

 

[Kris1872]

Naismith

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

Petric

 

[HandsomeHead]

Neil McCann?

I actually don’t remember them being in for him, but as arguably the most exciting homegrown catholic player in the country at the time, it must have hurt more than a few that he chose to come to us.

 

[Qwa]

Emerson.

 

[Kris1872]

Was Weiss not initially linked with a loan move to them but he said he’d prefer Rangers?

Or am I talking utter tripe?

I’m positive he did.

 

[MainStandLoyal]

Aribo?

 

[Rangers72]

Weiss decided to come to us on loan over them did he not?

 

[JerseyLoyalist]

Mojo.

Google search says you’re correct

 

[Johansen]

John Brown
Alex Macdonald

 

[Dolphin]

Alfie Conn?

John Spencer?

 

[Johnny Yen]

Or am I talking utter tripe?

I’m positive he did.

He was linked with them 100%, an earl Haig in my work was going on about him, saying he was dynamite and if Celtic signed him it would be a total game changer, it was magnificent when we signed him on loan.

 

[JerseyLoyalist]

I’m sure Stein was trying to sign Doddie,before we stepped in.

 

[TheRoofeIsOnFire]

Weiss
Novo
Aribo?

 

[Grimsdale]

Lafferty.

 

[Kris1872]

Bet the second he signed for us the earl changed his tune to “he’s shite”

 

[carlosapicella]

Mojo.

Yep that and 55 destroyed them,if we had won in seville,the erskine bridge would have collapsed,with mass suicides!

 

[Boab4]

Was there not a rumour of them trying to sign Alfie as well

 

[Pol1_]

Petric

Chris Waddle wouldnt sign for them as he is one of us

Never played for us though

Unfortunately

 

[Dalgety Bear]

Mojo.

There’s your winner right there

 

[A Bear Has No Name]

Sure there was a rumour about Defoe?

 

[scobie1873]

Maurice Johnston?

 

[bad boy boogie]

Mojo.

This

 

[muttley]

Nothing will top Mojo. It is still hilarious now as it was back then. The ultimate kick in the knackers for the Piggery dwellers.

 

[TNT]

I remember Jim McInally greeting like a baby in the papers when Petric signed for us.

 

[Otis Blue]

Maurice Johnston?

I seem to remember something about that

 

[Mount_Bear]

Was there not a rumour of them trying to sign Alfie as well

Don't think so, but I had a dream last week he moved to them and done the trademark celebration after scoring for them and I spent the whole day feeling sick

 

[The People]

Let's not forget Hartson initially

Was he not pictured holding a Rangers shirt trackside at Ibrox

Have to say I wanted him signed at the time

 

[MickF]

Was Lundstram not linked to them at a point early last summer?

 

[mark hateley]

There's been quite a few over the years and I genuinely think we beat them hands down.

Only ones that jumped to that side after being linked with us:

Allan
Gordon

That's all I can think.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

I'm sure the beggars were linked with Kevin Thomson

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Brown was heavily linked with us

And Loovens but I think we were just winding them up so they pushed the boat out to get him

 

[ibrox1975]

Let's not forget Hartson initially

Don’t think there is any doubt he would have signed for us had he not failed the medical

 

[MickF]

Danny Wilson was also linked with them for ages before he signed for us again.

Samaras, Hartley, Ledley and Commons were all linked with us. I’d say it’s probably been quite even through the years.

 

[scobie1873]

I seem to remember something about that

For sure mate!
It surely eclipse’s the ‘everybody remembers when JFK was shot’.

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

Was he not pictured holding a Rangers shirt trackside at Ibrox

Have to say I wanted him signed at the time

He was pictured trackside but I'm not too sure about holding a shirt

 

[YorkshireBlue]

Kevin Thomson.

It riled them so much they went all in for Brown.

 

[jigster]

Alan McLaren ??

 

[vinnie]

And the best bit about signing MoJo? There are tims that weren’t even born then that are spitting about it now!

 

[Ray Von]

Aribo?

He was on that shortlist that got leaked from torbett towers. Sure they spelt his name wrong aswell.

 

[Alex Boyce]

Emerson.

And lake and Palmer

 

[Zwingli'sSausages]

Mojo.

The only one that really matters. Fcuked up a whole generation of tims.

 

[Moreloslaces]

Scott Brown.

 

[nasalsinatra]

Durie. Ken Bates, the Chelsea chairman told them not to bother.
