When we play prem teams next season (if promoted), we will be no more than a baw hair away, in my books.

Yes, we got found out by a well organised St Johnstone team. Light years away? I don't think so.

You claimed Archie Knox never picked him for sectarian reasons. Reading that, it seems Archie Knox made a mistake in not spotting a 15yr old potential talent. Celtic also had the chance to sign him before he went to Wigan. I'd consider that an even bigger f**k-up than Archie's.

Celtic are fucking dug shite. Hopefully they give Ronny Roar a new contract.

Yes, they looked elsewhere in order to enhance their career.

Bore off Norman.

“I come from an Irish background, I go over there for holidays. Aiden McGeady.

Aiden McGeady had actually turned out for Scotland at youth level, but was unable to represent them further after he signed for Celtic. The club forbade any young player from turning out for their school side while the SFA at the time refused to select players who weren't affiliated to a schools team. Due to this impasse McGeady believed he would just concentrate on his club career until he was older but a phone call from ex Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner inviting him to an Irish youths get together changed all that. McCarthy's path to Ireland may have been less circulatory but it caused an even greater ill will amongst the tartan army. The story goes that he was overlooked for a Scotland under 17 squad in 2007 despite being watched by both Archie Knox and Ross Mathie who were overseers of the SFA youth system at the time. A few days later he was named in an Ireland under 17 squad for a match against Italy. Asked to why he wasn't named for Scotland Mathie responded by saying the player had been approached by Ireland several months previously and it would go against the grain to approach a youngster who had already given the green light to the idea of representing another nation. McCarthy was also interviewed back in 2007 where he stated that he just wanted to play international football and chose Ireland because they came in for him and Scotland didn't.

Both players never had the opportunity to play for Scotland therefore they chose Ireland as the next best option, through parentage rules.

What other reason would they play for Ireland?

He probably wears the green of ROI to enhance his career, much the same as James McCarthy and Aiden McGeady.

Fucking hell

Enrico bought the book. Ronny's Roar.

Shull

Fixed.

THE KING, His whole life revolves around Rangers and bigotry. Has he even tried supporting Celtic?

You seem more obssed than the QC these days...do you even give a good f**k about Celticfootballclub?

Well, you do it on an almost daily basis.

Rangers have taken a £1.5m loan from Dave King following the incoming chairman's claim it will take an investment of around £30m to get the club competing at the top of Scottish football. The South Africa-based businessman was appointed to the Ibrox board on Tuesday immediately after passing the Scottish Football Association's 'fit and proper' person test. King's temporary working capital is an alternative to a second £5m loan from Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley. The money has been provided until the end of the year in order to give Rangers "time to deliver a longer-term funding solution" following several months of financial difficulties. Paul Murray, who has acted as interim chairman since King's group overthrew the previous board in March, confirmed the move and said other similar developments are expected imminently. He also revealed the club will likely be listed on the ISDX Stock Exchange soon after being removed from the AIM equivalent at the start of last month when its nominated advisor resigned and was never replaced. Murray said: "There has been additional investment made. Another £1.5m was invested in to the club, just as working capital. Because of the share structure and the de-listing, there’s obviously technical issues. "You can’t just issue shares tomorrow and so we have to provide that by means of short-term funding until we get to the process of raising capital through a share issue. That will probably coincide with a re-listing of the club on the ISDX exchange." When King and his allies won control in March, he said he felt the same figure he quoted again on Thursday would be required to get the fallen Glasgow giants back to the level they were competing at before going into administration three years ago. He has, however, conceded the approximate total could move either way depending on how quickly promotion to the SPFL Premiership is achieved. Caretaker manager Stuart McCall's team won the first leg of their play-off semi-final against Hibernian on Wednesday but will have to negotiate their way through three more matches to go up. King, who has promised funding will be provided for a Premiership-standard squad this summer no matter what league Rangers are in next season, believes remaining in the second tier could push overall costs up. Conversely, he feels claiming a place in the top division this month might result in less investment from him and his supporters than initially thought. Competing Either way, King has pledged to deliver half of the costs required prior to any possible new investment from elsewhere, with the rest of the board covering the rest. He said: "The timescales will vary. What we have to do is get Rangers back to competing with Celtic for the Premiership and winning 55% of the time. "We want to be more successful than they are and getting in to Europe. The level of investment required to get us there is not a known factor, we can't be sure of that. "By way of example, if Rangers went to the Premiership and didn't come second in the first season and came third or fourth, you would have a second season without Europa League income. "My view is that whether it is one season or whether it is two seasons, we are here to see it through to the end. “If you were to ask me, I think that I made a comment before of about £30m. That will likely be the gap that shareholders will have to put in before we get there in addition to the normal revenue streams coming into the club before we become self-sustainable. “If we were to miss a year in the Premiership then it could be up to 37 or 40. If things go really well and we can change the commercial relationships then that might go down to 25, but it's certainly tens of millions and it is not a finite amount of money. “If Rangers don't do it in year two or three then we aren't going to stop. We will go for year four. We are determined to get there and get the club back to where it has to be." Sky Sports.

What happened?

It must be fucking boring supporting St. Mirren, for you.

Celtic pick up players like Armstrong and GMS for peanuts. Rangers will do likewise once back in the top league.

You're so obsessed you got BT sports installed just for the Rangers play-offs
