    Fair play to him if he does make the move.

    Considering the source is the Herald though I'd be sceptical about it. Genuinely didn't believe 9/11 happened when I saw it on it's front page that day

    Herald also said he'd be the first man from the Republic to play for Rangers. Typical laziness from Fitzgypo

    Pardon my ignorance but if he won't be, then who was? Probably obvious, but can't think who it is

    Alex Stevenson for one.

    Gartland would be a legend if this went through. At last, a foreign export we can be proud of. Follow, follow.

    Does this really need its own thread? Chris Turner was on trial with them too but that was barely mentioned on here.

    No, it doesn't hence why I posted it in the Transfer Rumours section earlier .
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Why? Because there are so many people who support celtic it would be some form of sickener for them?

    If it goes through it will raise the profile for the LOI and will show the quality on offer,but I would only hope that he won't be subjected to abuse because of his nationality.

    Chris Turner is notoriously erm, suited to them though.

    Couldn't see it myself. Would he really be worth the hassle from the fans*

    This is the current campaign from the rangers support against the Irish diaspora.

    Big presumption he gets palying for the national team I see what your saying but the irish support are a bit more progressive than rangers fans.

    Kindly don't compare Rangers fans to Ireland fans. I find that deeply offensive. Rangers fans attend football matches week in, week out.

    Alex Stevenson from Dublin, Alex Craig from Galway and James McAuley Lowry from Portarlington are the only 3 RoI born players to play for Rangers AFAIK.

    McAuley Lowry made only 1 or 2 appearances, Craig was a decent player and played quite a bit. Stevenson had a long football career with Dolphin, Rangers, Everton and Pats as a player and manager. Rangers came over and played Dolphin in Dalymount in 1933 as part of the transfer. They were regular visitors to Dalymount early in the last century for friendlies v Bohs. The Dolphin game was their last friendly in the Republic.

    If the transfer does come off it would be a great move for Graham.
