Lafferty feels unwelcome at Ibrox

[Ger_onimo 20,488]

The issue is that he was transferred across on the 14th June. Technically he did work for newco. But his claims are nonsense.

And they should never be forgotten either.

"It saddens me that I'm not welcomed back by the club I am currently trying to sue..."

What a fucktard.

Cheers mate, I wasn't questioning your info, just the logic of the claim!

[The Dude 20,026]

I know why you don't feel welcome kyle. It's because you aren't.

[The Godfather 72,083]

Aye your right you will never be welcome back Lafferty you toblerone eating surrender monkey!

You along with Paysmith and the others who claimed to be Rangers born and bred can fuck right off.

Enjoy being a nobody for the rest of your career.

Simple solution for Lafferty, make a donation to the club equal to the release figure in his contract. They were all given new contracts with small release clauses, were they not.

Kyle lafferty not welcome at Ibrox. Seems he ain't stupid after all.

[bluenose48 951]

Was an overrated player when he was with us.

Can understand his need to protect his family. But he could have transferred over to the new company and still transferred to Sion.

Mercenary not welcome.

[Craig53 326]

He "took advice", blatantly knowing that if he took said advice the club, that wasted £3.5m making him easily the most overpaid for football player in the SPL, wouldn't make a penny off of his transfer. Had he been the true Rangers man he claimed to be, he'd have waited an extra couple of weeks, found out what the story actually was, we could have got a fee for him if he still wanted to leave. Fuck him.

IBROX was home sweet home for Kyle Lafferty for four years.

Now, though, he doesn’t feel he could even walk through the front door.

It hurts like hell for the three-times SPL title winner and lifelong Gers fan.

Lafferty was part of a mass dressing-room exodus in the summer as Rangers crashed into liquidation.

Steven Davis, Steven Naismith, Steven Whittaker, Allan McGregor, Maurice Edu, Jamie Ness, Rhys McCabe and Kirk Broadfoot all took advantage of players’ union advice to walk away from contracts.

In some cases they cost Rangers potentially millions in transfer fees.

The idea of slumming it in the Third Division was too much to bear for those worried about their career prospects and impact on international hopes.

Bitter takeover frontman Charles Green slammed them all as opportunists and mercenaries.

SunSport understands chief executive Green is still pursuing a number of them, including Lafferty, with the threat of possible court action next month.

While there’s the pain of being regarded an outcast, the Northern Ireland striker still has no regrets over his own dramatic decision to quit Rangers.

Six months on, and highly content with life at Swiss club FC Sion, Lafferty has revealed his decision to leave was made for his family.

Not, as Green suspects, for his own personal gain. Lafferty gave his first major interview since his Ibrox exit to SunSport and opened up on the most soul-searching move of his football life.

The 25-year-old said: “I know there was a lot of anger towards those players who left, a lot of accusations flying about. Things were said that were harsh and out of order.

“I can only speak for myself. Let me make it clear my decision to leave Rangers was actually made five or six months before the club even went into administration.

“There was an incident when I was out with Nic, then my fiancee, who was pregnant with Taylor.

“She was sat in the passenger seat of my car while I’d gone to pay for petrol. A brick came flying through the back window and she was left terrified.

“Given her condition she was badly shaken by it. And, as you can imagine, I was furious.

“A few things had also happened before that, but what went on that night was the last straw.

“All I could think about was what might have happened to Nic and our son. It scared the both of us.

“There and then I felt I had to get out of Glasgow, leave Rangers, the first opportunity I could. Just get away from the UK altogether and start again abroad. The chance came during the summer — and I took it.

“I knew it would leave people angry, and I understood why. But as far as I was concerned I only did what anyone else would — that is, make my family my priority and do what was best for them.

“It still wasn’t a decision I took lightly. But nothing was going to change my mind.

“Sion made their interest known and I was impressed by everything they had to offer.

“Parma wanted me to go to Italy while there were also offers from Russia, Turkey and Greece. But Sion and Switzerland felt right — and I’ve never regretted it.

“Maybe the only thing I would have wanted to happen was for Rangers to get money for me but the situation wasn’t of my making, I took advice, and that was it.

“Now, we can lead our lives without fear of being bothered. I’m recognised in Sion, of course, but people here only have respect for me and my family.

“Glasgow’s a great city and the majority of folk there were nothing but fantastic to me, even a lot of Celtic fans. But there were was still an element only interested in making trouble.

“Things happened in my first two years at Rangers and I was never going to be allowed to forget them.

“I’m the first to admit there was self-inflicted stuff. The diving episode where I got Charlie Mulgrew sent off in a game against Aberdeen at Ibrox, which I’m still embarrassed about, and the spat with Neil Lennon. They were stupid moments and I regret them. Believe me. But there were other things out of my control, that were just conveniently used against me.

“When it got to the stage where Nic was getting dragged into it then enough was enough.

“It’s all behind me now. I’ve moved on by joining Sion. Out here we don’t get any hassle off the park.

“We’re coming back to Scotland in the next week or so to see family and friends. But I know I won’t be welcome at Ibrox — and that’s hard for me.

“I’ve still got a lot of friends there and I’d love to go back and see them.

“I don’t think it would be wise after what happened in the summer.

“There’s someone in particular who has made their feelings clear about me.

“I know the likes of Ally McCoist and Kenny McDowall wouldn’t have a problem with me popping in but I don’t want to cause them any grief.

“Hopefully, though, there will come a time when I feel I can walk in the front door. I’d really like that. Rangers is my club and always will be.

“I wish the players, the management and the people behind the scenes nothing but the best.

“I had a fallout with Ally a few months before I left. But we spoke before I left and we made our peace. I was really happy about that.

“Now I’m delighted to see Rangers getting things together.

“Young boys like Barrie McKay and Lewis Macleod are making a name for themselves and that doesn’t surprise because they are brilliant talents.

“And Lee McCulloch’s the perfect captain. Jig got a new contract recently and he deserved that.”

Brick flying through the window..........get to fuck you lying piece of shite.

You will never be welcome back,or your descendants.

In the future,DNA scanners will make sure you and yours will be sin died fo ever...............

Well maybe not.............you'll just not be warmly welcomed back to the family.

[Craig53 326]

Transferring over he could have got use even just £0.5 million or something, money which could have been vital for us in the summer.

£0.5m is more than the prick was worth anyway!

[The Godfather 72,083]

I was gonna say, Rangers canny even get the pies hot never mind bring in DNA scanners!

[Polo 1,433]

If any of that was genuine he'd have handed in a transfer request long before we went into admin.

[SectionRedHMS 190]

It's no1 club related, I stated previously he owed some very dodgy people a lot of cash, don't know what the outcome was! He's a gambling addict and coke head

Yes,this is true.He was/is a gambler and got into heavily with some ex boxer/agent type.Alledegly.

And he's a total arsehole as well.

[Bud72 117]

The aforementioned players, will always be traitors, in the eyes of Gers fans, but if we are ever going to win the propoganda war against our haters, then we must create the best headlines for the club from these stories.

GERS STAR DRIVEN FROM THE CLUB HE LOVES BY SEPTIC SCUM.

Rather than imploding with rage, we should be exploding, and informing the world about the scum.

[Jimfanciesthedude 24,613]

One of the worst players ever seen in a rangers jersey imo

An absolute bombscare of a striker who was nowhere near good enough for the club

[Liam_RFC 238]

He should never be aloud back into ibrox even as a payin fan and that goes for any of the other judases who claimed to be rangers fans !!

[whytes3 254]

Greeting face looking for attention.

The excuse that he had planned to leave is bollocks...if so he should have asked to go in January.

Never be welcome at ibrox...traitor

[clubdeck 41]

Pity that his name came up on this special day,Kyle take the hint you & every other cash loving traitor will never be welcome at our sacred ground. We Didn't Do Walking Away

[Creampuff 22,628]

Good.

He isn't welcome.

[jimmy millar 107]

Glad to see the back of him,the day he collapsed holding his coupon,trying to get Mulgrew sent off had me squirming in my seat.No wonder you`re ashamed of it.Not the behaviour of a Ranger,which Sir Walter was very quick to remind him of.An excuse of a striker and an excuse of a man.Don`t ever show your ugly mug near our stadium again.

[baxterboy 476]

when you were wearing the jersey, lafferty, i fuckin defended you and naismith - like i do every player when they are wearing it.

but, like the rest, who left us in one of our darkest hours - not even a fucking transfer fee to help the team that gave you everything.

lowlife judas cunts!!

[NOSURRENDERSTEFANKLOS 33]

Away and fuck yourself lafferty. You could have easily signed on again and left the next day for a transfer fee. You turncoat prick.

Your correct about one thing though, you will never be welcome back. WE don't walk away

[legalbeagle 3,734]

The real irritation with it all is that the club could not have afforded to keep paying these sort of wages anyway, those players could have left for practically nothing.... yet still, they chose the traitor's route.

[Bad Robot 21,346]

Rino should boot him straight in the baws.

[Puff candy 22]

Fuck you , judas cunt
