Interesting Rumour

**gspain** · 22/12/2004, 1:58 PM

Heard from a source in Scotland that a Republic of Ireland International could be on the move in the January transfer window and would become the first RoI player to play for a certain Glasgow club in over 70 years.

Wonder how the ok2beabigot crew would respond to that. Actually stir up problems with the bigots on both sides.

I think it best not to name him yet. I haven't seen anything in the press.

Are we allowed to speculate though? My money's on Roy Keane!

Alan Maybury...................................

**dublinred** · 22/12/2004, 2:07 PM

Would be Civil war in Glasgow , again would depend on the player , Morrison , Carsley or Kiely wouldn't stir the emotions as much as the Keanes. Personally I could not care less if an Irish plaayers moves between british clubs , my money would be on Alan Maybury going form Hearts to Rangers.

Just to say it is not Alan Maybury nor the other occasional squad member who grew up as a Rangers fan.

Not going to deny anyone else.

I don't see why any Irish player moving between British clubs should cause an issue.

tell us who!!!

**Eirenua** · 22/12/2004, 2:22 PM

ex hearts boss Craig Levein has confirmed interest in bringing Maybury from Hearts to Leicester. Maybury is out of contract at end of season

**Plastic Paddy** · 22/12/2004, 2:23 PM

I'd be happy to see Maybury join Rangers. An Irish player has to take the plunge with them sooner or later. It would also serve to expose the bigots good and proper.

I can't think who else it would be though.

Wonder how the Rangers fans would respond to it. Most Irish-Celtic fans wouldn't have a problem with it, the booing in Lansdowne has ended which proves it was a bit of fun. The Rangers fans still boo Celtic players though.

Where's our country in locations?

Rangers fans are worse so its them you should be worried about but I'll try not to go into that.

Can't think of anyone off hand other than the obvious Alan Maybury. I doubt its true TBH.

Ahh man, don't tell me Duffer is joining Partick Thistle.

Why does he want to chuck away champions league football to join them.

**Dublin12** · 22/12/2004, 2:27 PM

I would love to see an Ireland player at Rangers,it would be one of the most talked about transfers ever and great for football,certainly stir things up.Please let it be true

**Karlos** · 22/12/2004, 2:30 PM

Let's hope it's Chippy Brady taking over the manager's job!! I'd like to think he'd have silimilar success to his time at Celtic!

Only joking - Couldn't give 2 hoots if an Irish player plays for Rangers, no big deal to me. Would certainly make interesting viewing to see how the fickle bigot fans dealt with it at Lansdowne Road - wonder if it's 'OK to boo' your own!!

Well if they didn't boo an Aussie Ger I doubt they'll boo an Irish Ger...

**PaulB** · 22/12/2004, 2:34 PM

No big deal if anyone does Join Rangers, has to happen at some stage. Boumsong is likely to leave, so i'd put money on a defender, John O'Shea maybe.

He wouldn't join them after last year.

**Slash/ED** · 22/12/2004, 2:36 PM

It would be one of the funniest deals of all time if it was Liam Miller. Or McGeady for that matter...

I think Miller would be even better. The Celtic fans aren't particularly keen on him anymore as it is!

Derry City FC are set to lodge a �30m bid for Ronaldinho following a recent club fundraising event....

**monutdfc** · 22/12/2004, 2:59 PM

When McLeish moved to Rangers there was talk of him signing Nicky Colgan. Colgan was reported to have said that he couldn't move to Rangers because he would fear for his family.

I'm not sure if he meant his family in Scotland or back home in Drogheda.

gypsyfella · 22/12/2004, 3:06 PM

Gspain you are truly a p. rick.

'Oktobeabigot' exposes you as such - you really have no clue of the history of a club like Rangers do you?

okto boo bigots would be a better phrase...

T.wat.
