Meeting Rangers Players in Public

Anybody met a rangers player in public? Gave him abuse or anything like that, curious to hear people's stories

 

Booed half the rangers team at the airport when they were goin to play famagusta years ago.. and Charlie miller here in Perth if that counts

 

Hahaha! Thats a good one. The one my auntie constantly reminds me of is the time i was about 7/8 and we were outside Borders on buchanan street, maurice ross was walking in just before us and he held the door open for us and i just stood there and says "Rangers are *" . My auntie then walked up and said sorry to Ross but then followed up with "i didn't even know huns could read"

 

I would just ignore them.A bit arseholishy if you see them by themselves or out with friends and family and give them abuse.
Infact,Novo used to returnthe thumbs up to us when we were all wearing the Hoops.Said Alright a few times too,was surreal but better than just being a Hun and shouting abuse at him.

 

My mate and me seen Alan Hutton at the dancing once, he was acting the big shot and my mate hits out with 'Alan, Alan mate' he turned around and my mate goes 'Naylor would have knocked * out of you the day?'

haha sday of an old firm match and they were squaring up to each other after a hard tackle

 

Met Gazza a few times.in the local co-op buying bog paper and one brown bread roll :icon_mrgreen:also met him in the local shop with a wee black dog just chatting with another guy

he was alot taller than i thought he would be about the same size as me 5"10
and looked like he was 60

 

Aye, save the abuse for the stands.

 

dont see the point to be honest. i work with a former rangers players daughter and shes brand new. Loves the banter and but not one way bigoted

 

Met Claudio Reyna once and said hello. Saw Naismith once on Queen Street and he was with his bird and pushing a pram. Didn't speak to him.

I think to shout abuse at them is a pretty hunnish thing to do, it's one of the reason McGeady left. If I were to bump into Kyle Lafferty on the other hand...

I saw Novo in Nando's once and was with my gf and her family, her sister's b/f who is one of them was so delighted that he could hardly contain his excitement and through the whole meal he just sat there grinning at him as were half the restaurant. As much as I hate him I felt for the guy that he's just out trying to have a meal and the whole place is staring at you and whispering to each other. He had to get some menu's and stand them up so no one could see them

 

Years ago I met Van Bronkhurst & Amoruso in a pub called ocho just off sauchiehall street (shut down now) had a bit of banter with them and can honestly say the were genuinely nice guys

 

spoke to mccoist years ago in central station-* actually brand new,durrant was with him and a bit of *,seen novo in braehead mcdonalds a few year back just gave a nod.would never abuse a player outside the ground tbh seems a bit crass and scummy

 

Not a player, but met Walter Smith in the Southern General hospital. I was wearing my Celtic top when I bumped into him (had my heard turned and just walked into him), he was a nice guy, he joked that I meant to bump into him, I just said 'sorry about that', shook his hand and moved on.

Also saw Charlie Adam and Kris Boyd in a garage buying Monster Munch and Mars Milkshake.

 

Used to see Maurice Ross in my work everyday and the guy was a *, thought he was bigger than he ever was.

 

I grew up in Helensburgh and there has been a number of Rangers players live there over the past 20 years. ( As well as "The Cardigan.)

The club owned 2 houses 1 street down from mine and over the years the following players have lived in them: Basile Boli, Jonas Thern, Joachim Bjorklund, & Jorg Abertz.

Never spoke to Boli but I went to school with his daughter, Thern and Bjorklund were really nice guys. I remember going round to Thern's house on Halloween and he didn't know what was going on, but when we explained what it was he invited us in got me and my friend an irn-bru and sent his wife to the shop to get stuff and she came back with bags full of sweets and chocolate.

Albertz on the other hand was a total *. Who never had any time for me and my friends.

I also went to school with Laudrup's son who was a * & totally gash at football. but Brian was a nice guy and his wife was smoking.

I've bumped into Steven Davis on Argyll Street before, he is * tiny. I am not the tallest person but I am much taller than that ginger *.

My Mum is good friends with Walter and my sisters were in his sons years at school. I have never had the "pleasure" of meeting the brogue wearing master of dignity, but I reckon he's a *.

 

when scotland beat holland 1-0 i went to victorias in sauchiehall st and arthur numan was in,i went over to speak to him and he was a really nice guy,its only a game and would never abuse players its childish and you are making an * of yourself

 

Moved to TalkCeltic Pub.

 

Yes, I met Barry Ferguson at Buchannan Galleries once. I asked him for an autograph and when he went to write it I said ''hah, just kidding'' and walked away giggling. Fair play to him he seemed to chuckle at it.

 

Also meant to add. I bumped into Naismith in GAME years ago when he signed for them. He was buying a Pink Nintendo DS no word of a lie.
