Wasn't at the Gers when we played them was he???? Millwall wasn't it.....

Is it Rory Delap? He was linked with Rangers before, but decided against moving. My money is on Delap anyway.

Well, he played for against Ireland in August just after his move from Rangers, before he had played a game for Millwall. Rooney asked people not to boo and low and behold, there were no boo's.

i think you'll find he was playing for Milwall only 10 days later - he hardly played for Rangers at all to be honest and NEVER played against Celtic...

dont remember the match to be honest or much details... Moore didnt play either...
what was the reaction to Viduka??

Vidmar came off the bench and don't think he got booed either.

Yeah but was 5 years at Rangers. If Rooney and Kerr hadn't said what they did Vidmar and Muscat would have been booed.

so arveladze and all those other guys were part of that history were they? I forgot shota was the grandmaster of the georgian orange lodge

The guy was a **** - walked out on his team mates when a game was only half way through.

Is this a quality you'd look for in a player?

fair enough- as long as the wolfe tones are banned, the AOH aren't allowed march anymore and we adopt a new inclusive national anthem........

nah, davros I agree with most of what you say re the north. I'm just sick of people linking it to 2 teams in Scotland.

**liam88** · 22/12/2004, 11:04 PM

Gypsyfella-not all EL fans hate the Celts-I love ''em (though of course I'm just a Cobh glory supporter arn't I eoinh!); think it's time people stopped pretending they have no Irish links. If they don't like Celtic fine-no need to go preaching to the world about it. Our fans arn't all biggots either!
Rangers have a very long history of secaterianism and violence which Celtic have never even touched on!

**�anna** · 22/12/2004, 11:08 PM

I don't hate Celtic at all. I always shout for them if they're on tv (unless they play an Irish team) I just hate a lot of the idiots who "support" them- and then think they're republicans because they're weraing a hooped jersey. Thats all.

Celtic have Irish links, but they ARE Scottish. simple really.

a bunch of Irish clerics set up a football club to help the Irish (Catholic) community in Glasgow, the club becomes relatively very successful., a very nice story, call me sentimental, but I like it..another club in the city somehow becomes rabidly anti-Catholic and rabidly anti-Irish.

..Irish Catholics immigrants and their offspring do the same in other far-flung places, various universities have been started by Irish clerics, one of the top 15 universities in the U.S., Georgetown University was founded by an Irish cleric,..Boston College, DePaul etc etc...open to everyone regardless of faith, or lack of faith...did other universities pop up to counter these institutions like in Glasgow with rabid anti-Catholicism?...can anyone name anything that relates to the Celtic-Rangers thing in other countries where Irish immigrants have settled? just curious.

Cardiff actually.

Just saw this thread now. There are some clowns on this forum, that's for sure.

**Plastic Paddy** · 23/12/2004, 8:42 AM

It took you three months to work that out?

Funny how that happened. Call 'Rangers' a sectarian institution if you like, but that wasn't the intention of its founders. If it was, the last thing they would have done was help Celtic by providing their first opponents.

I don't think the Bob Jones University has an American football team. Come to think of it, they're not even affiliated to the NAACA.
