bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Burke was/is a Rangers fan but his family (particularly his Dad) are tims.Ah well i always thought he was one of them,wouldn't like to think i was wrong though so i'll just carry on assuming he is a Celt*c fan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 11,453 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I don't really understand the question?If someone is a professional footballer then they'll naturally have to put their support for another team to the back seat, especially if you're playing in the same league as them and you'll play that team a few times a season. You aren't going to get much time to attend their games either when you're playing for someone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DietofWorms 2,063 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I think that most professional players put aside their boyhood team support when they are doing their job. If one day they get to play for that club then, fair enough to come out with that stuff. Thats why if I were an Aberdeen fan (apart from wanting to kill myself) I would be furious with the likes of Diamond,Paton and McGhee(in the past) giving it all the selik shite. Theres no way I could support players/managers like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieD 18,881 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I'm fine with players who grew up Celtic fans and probably are still fond of them. I do not believe that such a player exists as one who would sign for us but want them to win against us. That's daft. There's no way Neil McCann wanted Celtic to win when he scored two goals against them to win the league at Parkhead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarvelmarvel 796 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Nah, he was a hibee. Mojo ? he was a bitter tim but was brilliant for us.according to tommy burns,mo was never at the chapel when the rest went on away trips, his dad was not r.c.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Scott McDonald was always pretty public about being a Celtic fan yet he scored two goals against them to win us a league title.Neil McCann scored two goals to win us the league at Parkhead.Denis Law scored a goal for Man City to relegate Man Utd, he was publically gutted about i but he put the ball away like any professional would.Plenty of other examples, some of which the public probably aren't aware of. The idea of a professional footballer not putting in the full effort because of who they supported as a child is a complete myth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Anyone who supports/supported/played for them should not be anywhere near The Rangers.For someone that's a similar age as me you're incredibly small minded.Serious question Mark, when Miller scores do you even celebrate, because the way you go on about this you're probably gutted when he does score for us? Do you see the title win at Celtic Park, the first and to date only time in our history we've done that, as tainted because a lifelong Celtic fan was the match winner?

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I also read somewhere Mo isn't religious(as in he's a non-practising RC) and that's why him switching to Rangers wasn't a big problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if our bid was accepted he would have knocked us back, or so he implied when he signed for Celtic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
