Sun, Jul 10, 2011 Tweet Exclusive from Lindsay Herron in Germany Exclusive pics: Kirk O'Rourke RANGERS enjoyed a "state visit" today at their German training HQ when the Prime Minister of Lower Saxony, David McAllister, meet Ally McCoist, his staff and players and Director of Football Gordon Smith. Mr McAllister is a lifelong Rangers supporter after being born and brought up in Germany by his Scottish father and German mother. PM David McAllister visits the team in GermanyAnd he revealed he used to collect Panini stickers of McCoist when he was younger. The Prime Minister is the equivalent of Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond and was thrilled to take time out of his busy schedule to travel from Hannover to meet and chat with the squad. The Rangers manager handed over a signed Rangers shirt and other club memorabilia and formally invited Mr McAllister to visit Ibrox and Murray Park. The Prime Minister said: "It was a great moment for me to meet Ally McCoist and the players. "I'm very pleased that Rangers are spending a week here in Lower Saxony and when I heard they were here and was invited to come and visit I was more than delighted. "My father was a keen Rangers supporter and I remember when I was growing up we used to listen out for the score every Saturday night on British Forces Broadcasting Services when James Alexander Gordon read out the classified results. "It's a great pleasure to meet Ally McCoist and his players. I remember I had a Panini sticker of Ally around the time of the 1990 World Cup - although he had longer hair then! "Ally and Gordon Smith have kindly invited me to come to Ibrox and I would love to do that at some point in the future." Mr McAllister was born in West Berlin in 1971 where his father was stationed and is still fiercely proud of his Scottish roots. He got into politics with the Christian Democrats when his family moved to the Lower Saxony area and he became Prime Minister last year when his predecessor Christian Wulff became President of Germany. Indeed there is serious thought here that he may go on to hold the same office. McCoist said: "It was tremendous to meet David. It's a great honour for us that he took time out from his busy schedule to come and visit us. "We would love him to come across to Ibrox for a game in the future and he said he would love to come." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I wonder who's all behind the German bid and what their plans would be? Big German car manufacturers such as Merc', Audi and VW are heavily involved in football already, so any involvement from one of them or their executives could be a very good thing from a funding and sponsorship point of view. Ok, I better not get too carried away! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
