maineflyer 0 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I've no idea whether Wilson will stay or leave. However, with no new owner or funding in sight, I am becoming increasingly concerned about the state of our playing squad for next season. If the likes of Wilson leave this summer then we could be in fairly desperate straits unless new money becomes available. It's worrying. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Preston Burke 0 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 some seem to think as he supported the scum as a boy he'll leave as soon as he's got the chance after us helping to become the player he is he'll stay for a few years with us if he has any sense which I think he has :spl: Liam Miller grew up a Celtic fan and left them as soon as he got the chance All i said was that Wilson doesn't have the emotional bond of being a Rangers fan, so it's less likely that he'll be 'desperate' to stay 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew_2010 0 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Is it not the case that if you're good enough for rangers to pick you up, you're probably good enough to get picked up by celtic too? If you were that emotional a fan of either, you wouldn't play for the opposite side. IF, however, you are more of a football person, you just want to play the game and so are not as swayed by fan loyalty and go where ever you have the best chance of progressing... Imagine a youngster who is a huge fan, say like bomber is. Yes, you'd try and play at other teams, you'd sign for st mirren, or killie, or even possibly hibs or aberdeen, but celtic?? no chance! I don't think (most) professional players are fans in that sense thesedays, although there are a few. Barry would never sign for celtic, and given would never sign for us. hypothetically of course. I am surprised to hear that wilsons background is of the persecuted variety... not that it has made a difference to how he plays. John Grieg was a hearts fan as a boy... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why players with a sellick background would be concerned about signing for us. McCann did it and was embraced by the fans. Many other have done it too. They still like to perpetuate the myth of Rangers not wanting to sign catholics but Albertz, Amoruso and many others have not only been accepted but idolised. What we don't tend to like are those with and anti-British f.enian tendancy and that should have nothing to do with football .... unless you're a Neil Lennon or and Aidsridden McGeady. Personally, I've never been too keen on signing ex sellick players but perhaps that's just me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Signing ex-Celtic players is my main problem. They are paid to be professional and loyal to a club, Burke and McCormack were also boyhood Celtic fans and they were decent enough. However when resigning ex-celtic players if they aren't good enough for them then they certainly aren't good enough for us. Miller has been an exception but we rarely sign ex-celtic players. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Preston Burke 0 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 McCormack has never stopped slagging off Rangers and saying how much he wants to play for Celtic I'd put him in the McGeady and Lennon bracket 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
