The bizarre fan forum comes up with some whoppers as Follow Follow continues to provide the Celtic support with some brilliant entertainment.
Next on the list for the idiocy on Follow Follow is a daft rumour about Liverpool legend Ian Rush and former Celtic midfielder John Collins.
Rangers did show interest in the striker but he rejected them in favour for the Anfield club but even Celtic supporters know it’s definitely not for the reason the Ibrox support believe it was for.
The ‘Catholic’ reason Liverpool legend Ian Rush and ex-Celtic star John Collins knocked back Rangers
Rush became a legend at Liverpool winning five league titles, three FA Cups, six League Cups and an incredible two European Cups. So why did he reject Liverpool for Rangers?
This guy seems to know.
Follow Follow user bluewonder said, “Even when we signed him [Judas] not one of the Scottish press would give us credit for signing a Catholic even though they used it as a stick to beat us with [another lie].
“They said by signing Johnston in the circumstances we did it only inflamed things and we should have signed a non West of Scotland Catholic instead.
“We tried to get Ray Houghton a year before but because of his background growing up in the Gorbals it was a nor starter due to the grief he would get from his family and the hordes. The same thing happened with John Collins a year after Johnston signed when we were in for him.
“lan Rush was another who was willing to come but again he wanted to be for footballing reasons and did not wan the label of being the only Catholic in the team.
Celtic fans and Ian Rush know the real reason he didn’t join Rangers, it was nothing to do with religion
Rush told The Scottish Sun back in 2019, “Liverpool fans would never have forgiven me if I’d gone to Man United or Everton, though, so it was between Bayern and Rangers and Souey would have swung it.
“I liked Graeme as a person and a manager. He knew what he wanted and sold the club well.
“I am Catholic and that was one of the first things we talked about, but Souey convinced me that wouldn’t matter as long as I played the way I had been playing the previous seven or eight years.
“He told me there wouldn’t be a problem and I believed him. If Kenny [Dalglish] hadn’t called a few days later, I would have been at Rangers with Souey. In the end, I went to Liverpool because I knew I was going back home.”
I suppose they just tell lies often enough they just hope the truth will be shoved away. A bit they do when they talk about their old club dying.
