alexscottislegend 2,222 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Can some one please clarify just why Butcher is not accepted by so many bears when he played for us for good number of years with such distinction? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,299 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Personally for me it is listening to him nullifying us at every turn I don't remember him saying a good word about us before and even more so since going into management of teams. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabie 230 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Can some one please clarify just why Butcher is not accepted by so many bears when he played for us for good number of years with such distinction? Butcher hasn't had a good word to say about our club since 5 seconds after he got his last wage packet from us. At Hamilton as always he concentrated on every single negative he could see in our play. I met him once at Ibrox and would hope I get another chance - just to let him know what I think of him now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 745 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Never been a fan of Butcher. Would have Gough over him all day long. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Terry Butcher was disgracefully treated by Souness when he left Rangers. Maybe that still hurts him. If so can't say I blame him but I certainly don't think he's anti-Rangers nowadays He is anti Rangers and it's disgusting as he is an ex captain! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 745 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) Reading this thread made me think about an English XI who played for Rangers. Was tempted to go Goram in goal and McCall in midfield but both represented Scotland. Im sure I will have missed a few out.

Bluedell 5,472 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Can some one please clarify just why Butcher is not accepted by so many bears when he played for us for good number of years with such distinction? It was stuff he wrote in his second book that caused a large part of it. there was an implication that Cooper had a problem with Mo Johnston signing and also that his wife had stopped him becoming a bigot. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) Terry Butcher was disgracefully treated by Souness when he left Rangers. Maybe that still hurts him. If so can't say I blame him but I certainly don't think he's anti-Rangers nowadays When him and Sutton commentate on our games Sutton is more pro-Rangers than Butcher. I'd say Butcher is the most anti-Rangers pundit/co-commentator. Andy Walker probably runs him close. If any debatable decision occurs, Butcher will side against us every single time. PS - taking issue with what Butcher said here though is ridiculous. Edited December 19, 2016 by Ser Barristan Selmy 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 How about him with his ice cream salesman act at the peak of the "jelly and ice cream" nonsense? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 He did say that Gough always seemed to be suspended for the festive period but he was indeed joking and made absolutely no suggestion that Gough was deliberately manipulating it. I thought that he did and that this was the whole point of the "joke". he delivered it so badly and in his mind-warplingly dull monotone that many couldn't see that he was trying to be funny. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
