Oscar2012 15 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 A magnificent Rangers captain and a loyal true-blue,he should be treated with respect and looked after well every time he comes to Ibrox.It is time now however for new blood to take our great club forward in these difficult and challenging times and I am sure that John would be the first to appreciate this.

nachothelegend 1,932 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 On another forum, it's being said the man is not too well, now I for one will NOT turn on a man that has spent his whole life a Ranger. He is/was a great ambassador for the club and has done nothing wrong, while others cannot say the same? The mans a pensioner have some respect!Can we have official conformation of this or is it just rumour?Simple question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainofIndustry 921 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 The reason so many Bears tell stories about Greig's unpleasant behaviour is he lacks the intelligence to realise he should show humility. Here's an example:I grew up in Troon in the 60s. The Marine Hotel was used regularly by Celtic plus by foreign teams when they played in away times in the Euro competitions. I always hoped Rangers would visit and finally, in early 1970, they did. Down I went with my autograph book and pen and waited eagerly outside. Eventually, the players emerged. I saw Greig, made a beeline for him and thrust book and pen into his hands. He started to write but the pen was scratchy in the cold air and it wouldn't write properly. What was the reaction of my hero, the man I looked up to more than anyone else? He tutted in annoyance, shoved pen and unsigned book back at me, said, "Son, can you not even get a pen that works?" and stalked off. I was not yet nine years old and he made me feel utterly ashamed of myself. It was some years before I realised what a complete cunt he'd been.Greatest ever Ranger? If so, who the fuck is the worst?

Big Al 55 9,517 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 John Greig should always play a part in Rangers, just not sure it's as a director. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DronganExile 84 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 CG seems to be adding to the board with guys who have some expertise or skill that can help move the club forward. Anyone on the payroll at Ibrox now needs to be playing an effective role and contributing to the clubs rejuvenation.Sandy Jardine seems to be doing a good job as legend/ ambassador, Walter's there for the football know how/ contacts. What would John Greig contribute?That said he is always going to be a part of Rangers history and should be welcomed back any time but not in an official 'working' capacity.

bubblybear 258 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Can we have official conformation of this or is it just rumour?Simple question.Nothing official so you could call it a rumour, I hope it's not true and would still welcome him back to the club.

nvager 498 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 John Greig should be welcomed back as a fan. Not as a director - just my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
