No he didnt, hibs never once accepted our offer, allan had the choice of hibs or multiplying his wages big time at celtic, there was absolutely no guarantee we'd have went back in for him that jan, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascadeshrimp 1,455 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Back in the day my da had some contacts in Ibrox and told me "we're about to sign a high profile catholic,if we're gonna sign one of them then we might as well get the best one we can" In those days no player was outside our budget,so i went to school telling everyone that would listen that we were signing Maradona..............we signed Mo Johnson So Maradona for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

raging blue 1972 894 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Batistuta - could have got him at 30 years old for £10m. Murray didn't think was any resale there. Fuck selling him lol Shevchenko - we matched the 9m AC Milan bid and got him for. Ronaldo - think we matched his buyout (20m?) but choose Inter Milan Jardel - bombed his trial - later transpired he had a toe problem (and think kept it quiet) Viali - choose Chelsea (what a free that would have been) John Hartson - failed medical.............

(i'm joking lol) No need to joke about Hartson, he's a bitter bastard towards us now but seemingly he was in tears at failing his medical with us, he definitely wanted to sign but the prodan farce put us off with Hartson previous knee injuries He'd have fucking ran riot for us up here, instead he did it for them, absolutely hated him against us, big amo and moore could barely handle him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
