cooponthewing 1,139 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I hope he takes his chance with ROI? They are a better set up and he will have a better chance of making finals. Good luck to him! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when we still have a large contingent of Ulster supporters. I'm not sure that's fair. Linfield, Glentoran and Crusaders all have players from the ROI as do Coleraine, Portadown, Glenavon and Institute and all are considered clubs with largely Protestant/Unionist supports. He'd get far more abuse from other team's supports than from ours. As long as he's doing it on the park our support will stand behind him in my experience. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weebluedevil 1,259 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Not many Rangers players have represented Scotland for some time now, but I think that’s largely down to where we’ve been. The longer Scotland are MIA from the major finals the less interest they get from our support too. Hopefully, with us on the way back, we’ll start to see more Rangers players in the Scotland squad. If that can coincide with a better quality Scotland team due to players like Robertson, Tierney, McGinn, Fraser et al all playing well to a high standard in the EPL and you fly talent coming through like Gilmour- I think we’ll emerge from the dark ages and we will support again/more or at least admit to it! For that reason Josh should consider his options carefully. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 In our heyday, Scotland appeared regularly at tournament finals for the ritual act of failure, occasionally elevating this to full blown humiliation, much like Celtic in the Champions League. Since then we’ve had the decency to restrict our embarrassment to the countries in our qualifying group, which is surely the sort of progress the SFA so richly deserves, occupied as it is with a domestic agenda against its largest member club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,658 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I find it bizarre that some of our support want one of our best young Scottish prospects to play for the Republic of Ireland ? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scroll up, cooponthewing did. ian1964 didn't quite say that but said at least he won't get booed and might play in a major competition and most other comments are indifferent. I don't get the indifference, I don't want any Scottish Rangers players picking Ireland. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
