The only people who I know that were bitter and upset about this signing (and to this day still very much are) are all celtic fans. Johnston was a great signing for us and he looked genuinely happy every he put the ball in the back of the net for (which incidentally was frequently). 

I was meaning because he wasn’t the first Catholic on our books by any stretch of the imagination.

Fabricated nonsense to make us look like the weirdo club built on religious foundations

Fantastic signing

gave his all, clearly loved playing for us and GIRFUY’d them cunts.

He was a ginger baws?

Have we now got more Catholics than Protestants playing for us?

We have a lot of players who bless themselves now.

Think this has been the case since the end of the nine in a row era

Never quite got the whole thing tbh. I work with some of the most kafflicky people around and they don't bless themselves before we start work.

No, I knew that but it really amuses me how they bang on about us being ‘sectarian’ which quite rightly you point out as being nonsense, then they literally ostracise Johnston because he signed for ‘us’. 
There is only one club in Glasgow founded out of religious segregation, and it isn’t ours...

I remember thinking he was overrated but he soon won me over with his workrate.  

I'm pretty sure our Supporters Bus was the first to award him Player of the Year after his first season .

The press got a reaction in Larkhall to him signing, it was on national BBC news all over UK. Know a guy from Burnbank who has never been back and his old man chucked it as well.

[Moody Blue Legend 61,409]

National News ay 10 went with it.  Talking garbage as-per saying it was the first.

I remember coming off a night shift at the Steelworks and day shift guys showing the papers with the headline that he was signing.  Hard to believe especially after the photos were going about with him next to BM with tarrier top.  I think he said that picture was a bit of a set up.

[Brackley 1,398]

Remember it well.

One of my works directors at the time was well connected at Ibrox and sat in the directors box each week.

He knew I was an out and out blue nose and that morning he called me into his office and said you better sit down. There was I thinking shit what have I done wrong when he told me Mo Johnstone was signing that afternoon.

My Old man never went back once he signed 

i must admit i never went back till he was gone we had a perfectly good striker and after his act at hampden with his red card  and his crossing himself as he ran off. i dont do religion but he was only winding up the the fans and i have nothing against players from any background just did,nt like him at all ,it was just souness being souness  mccoist was perfectly good before he came .

Dont give flying fuck where they come from, who they pray to, are what they are, as long as they are SELIK bashers thats good enough for me.

Mo Jo defo became 1, and fucked it right into them.

And that touching the grass thing coming on and off the pitch. Is it meant to make them play well, protect them from injury or what? 

[Zappa6995 3,644]

Was sitting in a works van when the news he signed came over the radio, Cracking signing 👍

I get that it's some sort of religious thing but whenever I see any player crossing himself can't help thinking, if there really is a God then I hope he has more important things to take care of than a bloody fitba' player playing well.

And that leads us to the old question, what happens if both the penalty taker and the goalie cross themselves?

Hop on to the pitch on your “lucky” foot, kiss your tattoos, cross yourself then point up to dead people in the sky. Some players are halfway across the pitch by the time they’re finished.
