But, you have to be honest here, the Rangers board were very bigoted when it came to signing Catholics in this period and I guarantee that this played a role if a player got signed or not. They were not the only 'Company' during this time that wouldn't take guys on because of their bigoted mindset. My previous employer, Weir Pumps, who also had shares in Rangers, went through a long period of not hiring Catholics. It was well known. It might not have been written down for all to see but it definitely existed. Quite similar to the BNP policy in that there is no BNP "policy" that prevents anyone from a minority ethnic background joining them...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to them signing a Catholic ever year for the next 100 years just for you to be proved wrong by statistics. IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By constantly denying it you're just defending a bunch of bigots. If you acknowledge that it existed then you would either have to condemn it or support it. He doesn't want to do either, so he pretends that it never happened. Classic Belfast logic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never happened to me but it would be some red neck if the same poster that said the above aimed at me had previously went through that *checks Prince Philip thread*.... oh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 On the subject of the old Rangers having a policy not to sign RC players, it's one of the reasons the late Jim McLean turned down a move to Ibrox in 1983. Mentioned in his autobiography (although written in tandem with Ken Gallacher). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bottle of Corona poured into a glass could not have been enjoyed at any other point or any other setting until the pubs re-opened. I laugh at the guys who illustrate how excited they are for their first pint and then go and order feckin Fosters, Carlsberg or Carling but waiting for lockdown to end before then ordering a bottle of generically available supermarket beer is truly next level..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
