Danny 9 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 tbf the story is nothing to do with the Daily Record, they're just regurgitating another story which claims to be from a TV interview in Italy on a show called L'Era Glaciale Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso is unlikely to make any friends at Buckingham Palace as the former Glasgow Rangers man reveals his antics alongside Paul Gascoigne at Ibrox. The Italian international played for the SPL side during the 1997/98 season alongside the former England international. Gattuso admits he used to kick footballs at pictures of the Queen during training sessions. "Everyone used to tell me to take off my crucifix in the dressing room," he began by saying. (Rangers are a club identified with Scotland's Protestant community, whereas Celtic are viewed as a more Catholic club.) "So I used to kick balls at the photo of the Queen: my tutor there was Paul Gascoigne," Gattuso told L'Era Glaciale, a program on the Rai network. That wasn't the only bit of horseplay from Rino, who had a run-in by proxy with a certain Sean Connery, erstwhile James Bond actor and well-known Rangers convert. "When I decided to leave the club Sean Connery tried to oppose it, but I told him to mind his own bloody business," he was quoted as saying. (Gattuso was quoted as saying that Connery was the 'vice president' at Ibrox. In fact Connery was not on the board.) After leaving Rangers, the midfield ace joined Salernitana, before moving to Milan in 1999. He is currently recovering from a knee injury. That story is from the 1st of May by Salvatore Landolina, Goal.com I don't really know why an Italian TV channel and Italian journalist would have any reason to lie about it but I am going to try and get some substantiation on it either way.

In the same light, why would an Italian TV channel/Journalist be interested/bring it up? They might have asked him about his Rangers days - There are 2 giant matches this weekend - ours, and a Milan Juve clash. Rino's out injured and he has a vested interest in both games of course. It's not unreasonable to ask him about his time with Rangers, and aspects about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youllneverwinaway 0 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 No matter what or how it has been portrayed its lies. As someone pointed out earlier, if a ball touched the photo, and you have to believe that Gatusso and Gazza could hit it regularly, then it would smash all over the place. If he was practising hitting a Rangers emblem or something then aye, but not a glass framed photo of the queen though my memory of the tour only tells me im 99% certain it is glass.

schwantz 23 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I hope its bullshit and not a true story. Rino Gattuso: I used to take potshots at picture of Queen in Rangers dressing room May 4 2009 FORMER Rangers star Rino Gattuso used to kick footballs at a picture of the Queen in the Ibrox dressing room, he has revealed. The midfielder has also said he told Sean Connery to "mind his own business" when the Bond actor tried to convince him not to leave the club. The revelations came during an interview on Italian TV on Friday. He told how he and fellow Gers star Paul Gascoigne started booting balls at the Queen after he was told to take off his crucifix. Gattuso, a Catholic, said: "Everyone used to tell me to take off my crucifix in the dressing room. "So I used to kick balls at the photo of the Queen. My tutor there was Paul Gascoigne." He also revealed how he told Connery, a close friend of Rangers owner David Murray, to get lost. The player said: "When I decided to leave the club, Sean Connery tried to oppose it - but I told him to mind his own bloody business." Italian international Gattuso played for the SPL side during the 1997-98 season. After leaving Rangers, he joined Italian Serie B side Salernitana, before moving to current side AC Milan in 1999. The 31-year old is currently recovering from a knee injury. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - why in gods name would any Rangers fan buy, read or believe anything written in this rag.
