Johnston was a great striker tbf and ultimately showed that as long as he scored the goals the fans would eventually come round, at least the majority of them.
Graeme had bollocks of steel. When he stuck that Galatarasay flag in the centre circle at Fenerbahce it was fucking golden. I met him once in Southampton when I was a kid. He was stuck in traffic in his silver Merc. I shouted over, “Mr Sounness, we will we beat Man United today?!” He said : “No problem son.” We won 6-3

I’m surprised the stadium and or club didn’t just explode when they signed him. I’m not catholic, I support celtic because my dad walked out on us when I was younger. He was a rangers fan and the best way to hurt him was by supporting Celtic
I remember this and was gutted, at the time, that my hero signed for the dark side, it had a galling effect on Celtic. However, the biggest take away from the whole story is the absolute furore at Ibrox it caused when a catholic signed for rangers. It was less than 40 years ago, a large number of those fans from back then are still alive and still season ticket holders.......

Whether you love the guy, or you hate him, you have to hand it to him, He tells it how it really is, He was the same as a player, took no hostages, dirty at times, but back then , there were quite a few like-minded players, But He was our manager at Blackburn , and took the Worthington cup out of Tottenham's grasp,and he will always be one of my football heroes, maybe a bit strong for some people, but like Grahame himself would say, who cares.

Great video, I was 12 when it happened and growing up in Belfast, it was pretty big news. I was in the east of the city, and so I was surrounded by Rangers fans, but I could never bring myself to support them as even then I knew how poisonous the sectarian element was, and how that situation generally was affecting many lives in my city. Nowadays, I'm a neutral still, but I always get a bit of schadenfreude when Celtic beat them (so maybe I'm not quite a neutral).
The signing of Mo Johnson happened before I was born. Now I don't speak for every Rangers fan, But i think Signing Mo was a great bit if business. Despite out dated backlash for both sides of the old firm at the time. It also opened the day for more Catholics and players or other faiths and races to join Rangers. There will obviously be backs thinking Rangers and Celtic fans out there. But I'm glad sectarianism is Scotland is nowhere near as bad as it was now. When i hear of Rangers getting ready to sign new players, The last thing i'm interested in is "Are they Catholic or protestant, or what" I couldn't care less. I want religion and politics out if football. Especially in Glasgow.
I'm not sure that the Celtic backlash was outdated. He was a self-confessed Celtic fan, made lots of noise about how they were the only club he wanted to play for, how he'd crawl over broken glass to rejoin, etc. Ill-advised, to say the least. Any club's fans would always be unhappy if a player said all of that only to sign for their biggest rivals instead. But I've not come across Johnston getting religious abuse for it. By contrast, Rangers fans continued to give him religious stick for some time. I can't speak for how Rangers fans treat or view him today.
Every rangers fan at the time could not believe it but rangers Alfie conn played for them kenny miller played for them naismith whittaker and Alan mcgregor are a lot worse he has a testimonial for the team he deserted every penny earned from that game should be sent to charity and I mean every penny
None of them follow the gentle Lord Jesus! All flags, bells and whistles! Hatred has no place in the Gospel. So this isn't Christianity this stuff! Lord have mercy.
Lies.. Rangers had signed catholics for decades. But you dont mention how celtic were formed and I quote "To keep the catholics away from Protestant soup kitchens".
This guy "DMC" is lying to you. The following rangers players were Catholic, Pat Lafferty (1886), Tom Dunbar (1891-1892), J Tutty (1899-1900), Archie Kyle (1904-1908), Willie Kivlichan (1906-1907), Colin Mainds (1906-1907), Tom Murray (1907-1908), William Brown (1912), Joe Donnachie (circa.1914-1918) and John Jackson (1917). Thereafter, Catholic players prior to Mo Johnston's signing include: Laurie Blyth (1951-1952), Don Kitchenbrand (1955-1956), Hugh O'Neill (1976), John Spencer (1985-1992) If DMC really wanted to tell you the truth he would actually do a tiny bit of research. Try Bill Murray's book, The Old Firm - Sectarianism, Sport and Society in Scotland (John Donald Publishers, 1984) pp 64-5. and ask yourself the question, why does DMC want you to believe these hateful lies?
Thanks for this comment. I genuinely had never heard of John Spencer until I read these comments under this video. The comments I made in the video were in good faith and not to mislead anyone.
It’s easy to say that one is worse than the other but the truth is that one is a product of the other. Celtic have never sung about killing Protestants and if they have please cite me the songs where we have done so. Celtic football club have signed Protestants from its infancy. Rangers ex players referred to Mo as the “worst” catholic in this video.
Pretty sure Lee Rigby was a Protestant. So your saying it’s fine to sing songs about a young boy being murdered because he was a soldier? People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Vile rubbish on both sides. Nobody can claim a high ground.

The game were Johnston crossed himself was at Hampden. Danny McGrain Celtic Captain & protestant recalled what a hypocrite Johnston was, as the only Catholic in the team that didn't go to mass the morning of the game . He got offered a million and grabbed it like the Judas he is.
@@dmctv7620 Religion was the start of the issue in first place, if it wasn't an issue before hand it would have been a non-issue to begin with, therefore need need for a video outlining Rangers singing a catholic.

Proud to be a Celtic fan we as a club have always signed players for their quality we never cared what a player's religion or colour was,as for sevco old rangers have a shameful history
"we felt it was necessary, to be seen in a wider marketplace"...David Murray.........so you went against a long established, clearly bigoted club policy, so you could maybe make a few more quid? how dignified, and "LOYAL" to your principles you are.....
Catholics are the original Christians! Scotland was created by Catholics and was Catholic for a thousand years. Imagine thinking that Christianity disappeared for over a thousand years only to be reinvented in Northern Europe! 😂
your "tradition" is immoral...... and stands in opposition to the teachings and love of Jesus Christ, Duh !!! Christ teaches there is only ONE family, and we are all children of the same God, each deserving the same love and respect...... Dogs bark when someone knocks the door.... Humans say "Hello There ?"
Funny how Athletic Bilbao is praised for its signing policy - which was by definition based on race - but those lefties call Rangers a bigoted club, as an insult and slur. Rangers would have signed non-British or non-Irish Catholics at any point in their history I am sure, but the difference there is that they are not Irish Catholics or those whom purport to be so. The Irish Catholics emigrated into Scotland and refused to integrate and they are at fault in the first instance that caused the tension between native Scots and the immigrants. Celtic FC is a good example of that - it was formed as an exclusionary in-group for the Irish migrants, which caused further separation.
Just the Scottish and English protestants who went to the plantations in Ireland. They didn't integrate with locals they brutalised them as over lords. Celtic were started to feed the poor regardless of their background with backing from the Jewish community. So stop misrepresenting the truth for your own agenda or study history ffs
Celtic was formed as ab answer to prejudice in Glasgow you clown, formed from the ideals of Hibernian in Edinburgh. The Irish weren't wanted so integration wasn't exactly a free and healthy option. Sweet Jesus 😂😂😂
I don’t agree with Bilbaos policy, but technically speaking it’s not based on race. An ethnically Japanese man who grows up in the Basque area could play for the club. Whereas a white Mediterranean looking person from Madrid couldn’t sign for the club. It’s a bit like Liverpool FC only signing players from Merseyside. Merseyside has black and Asian people. So under a Scousers only policy, they would still have Trent.
What a terrible shameful club Rangers were. Imagine not signing someone because they were catholic? Thankfully they died in 2012 and the new club have plenty of catholics.

There will obviously be backs thinking Rangers and Celtic fans out there. But I'm glad sectarianism is Scotland is nowhere near as bad as it was now. When i hear of Rangers getting ready to sign new players, The last thing i'm interested in is "Are they Catholic or protestant, or what" I couldn't care less.
I want religion and politics out if football. Especially in Glasgow.
Hes more hated on the green side as they tend to have more bigot fans
@@alastairlaw6600 Tbf, I can see why they hate him more. He was Kenny Miller before Kenny Miller lol
@@rangersmetalatheist9392 mo played for both teams and did well with both of them kenny 3 times at rangers and only stuck out in the lower league
I'm not sure that the Celtic backlash was outdated. He was a self-confessed Celtic fan, made lots of noise about how they were the only club he wanted to play for, how he'd crawl over broken glass to rejoin, etc. Ill-advised, to say the least. Any club's fans would always be unhappy if a player said all of that only to sign for their biggest rivals instead. But I've not come across Johnston getting religious abuse for it.
By contrast, Rangers fans continued to give him religious stick for some time. I can't speak for how Rangers fans treat or view him today.
Every rangers fan at the time could not believe it but rangers Alfie conn played for them kenny miller played for them naismith whittaker and Alan mcgregor are a lot worse he has a testimonial for the team he deserted every penny earned from that game should be sent to charity and I mean every penny
None of them follow the gentle Lord Jesus! All flags, bells and whistles! Hatred has no place in the Gospel. So this isn't Christianity this stuff! Lord have mercy.
Lies.. Rangers had signed catholics for decades. But you dont mention how celtic were formed and I quote "To keep the catholics away from Protestant soup kitchens".
Where is this quote from?
Where is that quote from? Do you have a link?
This guy "DMC" is lying to you. The following rangers players were Catholic, Pat Lafferty (1886), Tom Dunbar (1891-1892), J Tutty (1899-1900), Archie Kyle (1904-1908), Willie Kivlichan (1906-1907), Colin Mainds (1906-1907), Tom Murray (1907-1908), William Brown (1912), Joe Donnachie (circa.1914-1918) and John Jackson (1917). Thereafter, Catholic players prior to Mo Johnston's signing include: Laurie Blyth (1951-1952), Don Kitchenbrand (1955-1956), Hugh O'Neill (1976), John Spencer (1985-1992) If DMC really wanted to tell you the truth he would actually do a tiny bit of research. Try Bill Murray's book, The Old Firm - Sectarianism, Sport and Society in Scotland (John Donald Publishers, 1984) pp 64-5. and ask yourself the question, why does DMC want you to believe these hateful lies?
Thanks for this comment. I genuinely had never heard of John Spencer until I read these comments under this video. The comments I made in the video were in good faith and not to mislead anyone.
Johnston probably regrets signing for oldco and stabbing Celtic in the back.
It’s easy to say that one is worse than the other but the truth is that one is a product of the other. Celtic have never sung about killing Protestants and if they have please cite me the songs where we have done so. Celtic football club have signed Protestants from its infancy. Rangers ex players referred to Mo as the “worst” catholic in this video.
The "worst" comment is made in the context of what is being discussed.
Yet Frankie Boyle wrote in his biography that he stopped going to Parkhead because of all the pro IRA chanting and singing.
Pretty sure Lee Rigby was a Protestant. So your saying it’s fine to sing songs about a young boy being murdered because he was a soldier? People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Vile rubbish on both sides. Nobody can claim a high ground.
@@geordiewishart1683the same frankie boyle who joked about the IRA killing tories? Lol
The huns had a chance to sign Gary Lineker but backed off because he was a Catholic but they signed a rat instead.
Sound red lining
a dark day
Still hurts?
I wonder what would have happened is either club signed a player who was an atheist around that time.
Lool
ME & MY PAL WENT DOWN AND GOT MO'S A PROD 1690 ON OUR RANGES TOP'S !!!!! AS 14 Y/O BOY'S , MY FAMILY WHERE ALL CATHOLICS & SO WAS I , INFACT MY BIG BROTHER TOOK ME TO A FEW CELTIC GAMES BUT WE GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT OVER A PENALTY GIVEN TO RANGES IN THE LEAGUE CUP FINAL WITH 5 MINS LEFT WITH THE GAME AT RANGES 1-1 CELTIC ! ROY ATKEN PULLED DOWN TERRY BUTCHER & I SAID IT WAS A PENALTY & MY BROTHER SAID F/O LOL ! IT LEAD TO ME BECOMING A RANGES FAN ! SO I BEAT MO AS THE FIRST CATHOLIC LOL
That incident made you a Rangers fan??
@@dmctv7620 YES BUT I HATED THE FACT THAT BEING A RC MEANT I HAD TOBE A CELTIC FAN !
The game were Johnston crossed himself was at Hampden. Danny McGrain Celtic Captain & protestant recalled what a hypocrite Johnston was, as the only Catholic in the team that didn't go to mass the morning of the game . He got offered a million and grabbed it like the Judas he is.
Time not a healer?
@@dmctv7620 I didn't write the bible
Still hurting how pathetic
Amazing to think that religious extremisium was a norm, and today it is still rife.
The English players were a disgrace in Scotland, they never knew the trouble they caused
Who were the worst offenders?
Religion held humanity back so much. Sooner it dies out the better. Thankfully it is slowly happening.
Couldn't disagree more.
@@dmctv7620 This is a prime example of the stupidity of religion, and how it creates divides. I don't want him because he's not of my creed.
@@ThexMJT this is one example. Religion provides a great many things to billions in the world.
@@dmctv7620 Religion was the start of the issue in first place, if it wasn't an issue before hand it would have been a non-issue to begin with, therefore need need for a video outlining Rangers singing a catholic. Not denying it was a fantastic video of course, and good on Souness taking on those that said 'no catholic should play for Rangers'.
Religion creates divide and violence, holds back societies.
@@ThexMJT Christianity has done so much good for mankind.
"Iveryhingsawaynoo" "religioninawe" Bet you that attempt at the English language doesn't go to church or read a bible.
Rangers signed catholics before Celtic existed
Go Rangers❤
Were you happy when he signed?
Over the moon 👍
George Best signed for Man U.
?
What does that mean
@@alastairlaw6600 Man U were a Catholic club.... George was not a Catholic
@@roberthoward9093 I thought that was what you meant but man utd had a few non catholic players and they still have
Not a great comparison haha.

Folklore says that the last £1 out the bag was in actual fact the same £1 Craig Whyte paid Minty for Rangers.
Karma
Poor wee Timmy 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rangers were signing catholic players before Celtic were formed, pat lafferty was his name.
Some research wouldn’t hurt you pal 👍🏻
He did say in the modern game to be fair.
Kyle lafferty got married in the rc church probably the ist northern ireland player in rangers history to do this johnstone near paisley was the place

now rangers dont even buy Scottish players
Things certainly have changed.
Did they ever sign a Muslim?
This is a joke surely
Yes, bilel Mohsni although i dont see how that's relevant
Yes loads, did Celtic ever hire child abusers? Let me answer for you..yes loads.
A few more Muslims than that the famous had
I thought it depended on your football ability, not your religious beliefs. :)
Different world back then.

Eh
Not just a Catholic, he was also a Lesbian Jew Woke journalist Tory
Eh?
Sectarian divide.
Divide and rule. Who profited from that?

Never really had a problem for this guy to sign, it was singing the Billy Boys after a old firm match, could luck to him. A lier and traitor
Did he sing Billy Boys?!
Please do your research properly. Rangers had signed catholics before this.

Proud to be a Celtic fan we as a club have always signed players for their quality we never cared what a player's religion or colour was,as for sevco old rangers have a shameful history
It was a different world back then.
Celtic Scotlands shame since 1888
Old firm dead since 2012 as for judas 🖕

Just like the Dutch 'klassieker'.
How pathetic, all these fans wont even go to church

Rangers should not have changed our tradition to please non Christians.
Non Christians? How does this relate to Catholics?
They both are the same. Catholic and proddy you fool
What's so great about Christianity?
F^%c Sevco shit team ,shit club ...bunch of losers ..#GLASGOWSGREENANDWHITE🇮🇪🍀🇮🇪🍀🇮🇪🍀🇮🇪.
Catholics are the original Christians! Scotland was created by Catholics and was Catholic for a thousand years. Imagine thinking that Christianity disappeared for over a thousand years only to be reinvented in Northern Europe! 😂
your "tradition" is immoral...... and stands in opposition to the teachings and love of Jesus Christ, Duh !!! Christ teaches there is only ONE family, and we are all children of the same God, each deserving the same love and respect...... Dogs bark when someone knocks the door.... Humans say "Hello There ?"
No one cares about this

The biggest regret of my days is having been a Rangers fan.
Bernard manning had the right idea with you low IQ fuckwits
Have you switched teams?
Funny how Athletic Bilbao is praised for its signing policy - which was by definition based on race - but those lefties call Rangers a bigoted club, as an insult and slur.
Rangers would have signed non-British or non-Irish Catholics at any point in their history I am sure, but the difference there is that they are not Irish Catholics or those whom purport to be so.
The Irish Catholics emigrated into Scotland and refused to integrate and they are at fault in the first instance that caused the tension between native Scots and the immigrants. Celtic FC is a good example of that - it was formed as an exclusionary in-group for the Irish migrants, which caused further separation.
Great point. Blatant hypocrisy from all the left-wing, Ambulance chasing, middle eastern geo political experts.
Just the Scottish and English protestants who went to the plantations in Ireland. They didn't integrate with locals they brutalised them as over lords. Celtic were started to feed the poor regardless of their background with backing from the Jewish community. So stop misrepresenting the truth for your own agenda or study history ffs
Celtic was formed as ab answer to prejudice in Glasgow you clown, formed from the ideals of Hibernian in Edinburgh.
The Irish weren't wanted so integration wasn't exactly a free and healthy option.
Sweet Jesus 😂😂😂
What's said in the luge should stay in the luge. Otherwise people will call out your patent nonsense BS
I don’t agree with Bilbaos policy, but technically speaking it’s not based on race. An ethnically Japanese man who grows up in the Basque area could play for the club. Whereas a white Mediterranean looking person from Madrid couldn’t sign for the club.
It’s a bit like Liverpool FC only signing players from Merseyside. Merseyside has black and Asian people. So under a Scousers only policy, they would still have Trent.
What a terrible shameful club Rangers were. Imagine not signing someone because they were catholic? Thankfully they died in 2012 and the new club have plenty of catholics.
Different world back then
Get a better mic
