Mr RFC 696 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Reading the other thread reminded me of some of the more bizzare signings we have made. Dosen't have to be a bad player but just the circumstances surrounding the deal or one that came from left field. An example being Filippo Maniero the Italian who signed on deadline day and never kicked a ball for us before leaving shortly after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitzer007 198 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 When we signed Boli and Laudrup I couldn't wait to see Boli in the team and thought that Laudrup would be too lightweight for Scottish football. Just as well I'm not a fucking scout! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMac 1,405 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Charlie Tully and Paddy Crerand.An Old Firm select played Inverness"SFA regulations of the time required all competing players to be signed to a single member club, so the five Celts selected for the occasion signed for Rangers and re-joined Celtic the following day. (One may ponder 'what if...'had Rangers refused to cancel the contracts thereafter!) Officially speaking, it was a Caley-Rangers friendly, albeit with a radically altered visitors lineup!The Rangers/Celtic XI, who played in a Rangers strip of white shirts with blue/red hoops and white shorts, was as follows: Beattie (Celtic); King (Rangers), Kennedy (Celtic); Crerand (Celtic), Paterson, Millar (both Rangers); Tully (Celtic), Baird (Rangers), Conway (Celtic), Queen, Hubbard (both Rangers).2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPWF 8,116 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Dragan Mladenovic.Signed by McLeish in 04 from Red Star Belgrade. Big fanfare around him, "freekick master" was bandied about. Left after a year on a free having played 8 games. Obviously Eck didn't fancy him after seeing him up close, but it was strange one, a player like that had to have been throughly scouted, so he must have looked the part at Red Star.
