Players Who Have Said No To Them.

[Captain Gough]

The thread on Taylor ‘liking’ an Insta post re our win got me thinking of Rangers minded players who have said no to joining Celtic. I believe the likes of mcgregor and Taylor grew up Bears but crossed over to the dark side.

Novo is perhaps one of the more popular ones. However, who else has said ‘No thanks’?

Mojo when he saw the error of his upbringing

Eddie Howe (not a player)

 

[madride]

Kevin Thomson?

 

[Sasa5Papac]

I think big Boughera was in talks with us and them before seeing the light

 

[Porto Loyal]

Dariusz Adamczuk
Gordon Petric
Kris Boyd
Steven Naismith

I think Petric was in talks and we were like "No way they are getting him" and gazumped them.

He looked a top class CB until we saw him in the Champions League!!

I remember at the time, Jim McInally crying to the papers "All he ever talked about was wanting to join Celtic.............."

Poor Jim.

 

[Luis Fernandez]

Kevin Thomson?

Nah, they never talked with him. KT has since said that us and Celtic wanted both him and Brown but both ended up with only their second choice. Our priority was Brown, theirs was KT.

 

[Luis Fernandez]

There was a rumour they made a late push for Aribo but don’t think it got as far as him turning them down.

 

[bluewonder]

I think Kyle Lafferty turned them down a few months before he joined us.

Haha, didn't remember that.

Love it.

Was a time around about walters second spell when every other player either us or them signed would be reported to be on boths radar. Probably mostly just lazy journalism and agent propoganda. I could be wrong but were we possibly linked with the bombscare that was glenn loovens? Dodged a bullet there if so although he did score an important goal for us

 

[TNT]

Haha, didn't remember that.

Love it.

Sure the headline was something like "Mojo II" or something like that.

It just always stuck in my mind.........

 

[cooprfc]

Eddie Howe (not a player)

That's not his name.

It's Eddie Eddie Howe Eddie Howe Eddie Eddie Howe.

 

[0028]

Gordon Durie told them no, because he was a Rangers man.

 

[Ataturk]

Alan Main.

 

[Sonsofwilliam1989]

Ben Davies. Said no thanks

 

[EKblue]

There was a rumour they made a late push for Aribo but don’t think it got as far as him turning them down.

He was on their list that was leaked that season

 

[Optimus_Prime]

Was Naismith not linked with them before eventually signing for us?

 

[razzer]

John Wark said in interview they tried to sign him but he said no chance, also said his family would have disowned him

 

[bigTAM weeTAM]

Nah, they never talked with him. KT has since said that us and Celtic wanted both him and Brown but both ended up with only their second choice. Our priority was Brown, theirs was KT.

I remember wanting us to get Brown at the time UGH
