Good to hear the big man and thanks for everything you have done for our club 🔴⚪️🔵 thanks for all the amazing memories, that Europa run and 55 will live with me forever and you were a massive part of it! Thank you 💙
What an example of a player, before anyone has a go at him remember the amount of times he’s bailed us out
Guys absolute 💩

@@wavell14 20/21 season, Europa league 2022 knockouts, killie away in 2019…
@@wavell14guys right bailed us out many times! I don’t like all the jumping on the back of this guy! Especially as I have a feeling that Soutar being his partner is one of the reasons his form hit a bump. On form Goldson and Bologun is my preferred partnership. People forget the years of service. Why does Soutar not get the same level of hate he was playing too, and made just as many if not more mistakes. This comment section will just be food for Rangers fans who are angry about the league situation to vent their anger out on this guy. 11 players play the game not 1. Don’t take cheap shots FFS 🤦♂️
@@wavell14you only remember his mistakes, can't remember his art of defending. Yes he has flaws.

Loved hearing big Goldsons story. One of the 55 Immortals💙 🇬🇧 Rangers isn't just a football club, it's a way of life. It's not a game, it's our religion.
🏴🔴⚪️🔵🇬🇧
I’m diehard Celtic and let me tell you, hearing any human being with the same thoughts and feelings as me say they don’t want to be here anymore is not nice. I’m so glad he’s out of that place now and I wish him and his family nothing but the best. God bless 💚❤️💚 enjoyed this, new sub!
I love that he knows the passion in Scotland, may sound crazy but we love our team. Tav and goldson are legends in my eyes, they've took us far especially in Europe.
I also wanna say that season with all the racism I absolutely hate these things happen, when we sign anyone who's skin colour is different I don't see colour I see another human someone like me. If you show passion for the badge you'll be loved by the fans no matter where you come from. Not everyone is racist if you treat me with respect il return the favour.
If him & Tav are legends, u must be a 10 year old boy🤔
@@lsp_showtek891 your heads lit wtf are you on about lad
I have not seen any racism at our club @lsp_showtek891
Firstly, respect is not a " favour ". Secondly, ONLY club in the world with a 115-year apartheid signing policy.
I've been highly critical of Conner recently. All players go through bad patches when playing . I love him to bits but he needs to sit out a wee bit just now . Taking nothing away from him or what he's been through . Although I can honestly say that this lad's blood is BLUE .
Cheers Connor keep yer chin up lad .
He was wanting away 🤔
Brave guy, he’s one of us. Goes to show you that there is more to his life than football, I don’t think people understand playing with Heart issues must be like, nobody knows what goes on behind the scenes. Conor is a strong character he will rediscover his form, me personally have always said a on form Connor with big Leon is our strongest back line. It’s Soutar I want out! Playing next to Soutar can’t be great. Everyone blamed Connor but the same mistakes were made against Hearts, they just didn’t punish us! And it was clear as day who was at fault. It’s like Soutar completely switches off in vital moments. Making the whole back line look bad then the easy target was Connor.
Rangers Is Just A Job To Him, Hhr Wrost Ever Vice Captain Of All Time,
Mr 55, your name immortalised in history. The perfect unbeaten season to make history.
His grandkids are gonna love that Seville road story. Dortmund 4-2? Behave.
😉
I have met the big man on a few occasions out n about. I can honestly say Connor has been an inspiration to himself, his family and Glasgow Rangers! It's definitely not for everyone and not everyone can handle what comes with playing with Rangers. Connor can have no complaints in how he has performed at Rangers as a fan yes we want the best version every single time but it's humanity impossible. I've have nothing but gratitude for what Connor has offered me as a Rangers fan over his time at the club....I do hope you're here for a while yet Connor and that this podcast isn't a goodbye. It's just a pity Rangers don't have the financial clout that could have given him even better quality to play with. WATP 🇬🇧🇬🇧💙💙
It is humanly possible, I have seen and supported way better over the years in that jersey.
@@rangersnuthave you really supported them though ???
@seanfein3783 Yes. Does adding more question marks make that more of a question though, than having one?
@@rangersnut WTF you on about you mad 🧟? And there’s another one ? And another one? … a question mark for every treble ya numpty
Love our Goldson 🇬🇧 doesnt deserve the stick he gets. The real fans are behind him anyway
How does he not deserve stick? He constantly costs goals. If he was any good we would not be letting goals in or watching Celtic constantly win everything !! Are you deluded still, because hes part of the constant bottling crew !
Top man Connor, you are highly appreciated by us older fans.
I am in my 40s and don't appreciate how he headers into his own goal too often. Yet he can't score for us. How he panics when pressed, especially by Celtic and makes the sloppy back passes towards our keeper that they run onto or to his defensive partners either side. Tav though is worse defensively. He gets to hide behind all the pens and free kicks, yet his overall game is below average. They don't compare with the legends I grew up supporting. Not even close. I cannot wait until their time is up and we have moved past the old guard. They have massively under achieved in the league. Better times ahead when they are moved out. I look on this current side as the worst in my lifetime. Though there are shoots of hope in Sterling, Butland, Cantwell, Diomande. We have some good youth players. Also maybe Raskin if he gets it together, and maybe Ridvan if he can stay fit and stops being the Turkish Rossiter. The talent is there with him though. Its been a decade of mostly hell supporting this team. I have had enough of the same ones letting us down. Dundee was the last straw for me with many of them.
@@rangersnut Shut up ya fanny
@@rangersnutnaebdy Is reading that pal
@@Cajkelfa No one with your level of comprehension is. Lol.
@@rangersnut goldsons big toe has done more than you
The Big man's had a bit of a tough time recently in terms of form, But hearing him talking I've no doubt he'll get back to his best. What a servant to the club he's been to the club and an inspiration on and off the pitch 🇬🇧
Seen him at ibrox a few games back,quite clearly putting his hand to his heart,i said at the time big mans feeling the pressure,then the celtic game thats what the elbow was up for,to protect his side from a pottential tackle coming in from scales,i personally think he brings a calmness to our team,especially in europe,but crunch time in scottish league or any league,its no prisoners,its a tough one,but a cracking servant.?
Leipzig was just a wow thanks for the memories Connor. My best nights at Ibrox. Once in a lifetime memories that will last forever! 🔥 🇬🇧 👏🏻
Aye But He Fucked It Up Big Time Against Frankfurt In The Final,
@@susanjones6202 not his fault

Amazing to hear some of these stories. Great interview 👏🎤
Connor Gold son is a stalwart of Rangers and will be one of the club’s legends keep going big man we love your honesty and keep going WATP
Great interview. Been a fantastic signing for Rangers over the years. 2 goals v celtic probably deserved a mention. Came across as a sound guy too.
A consummate professional, totally down to earth and honest. Really nice interview, seeing as we haven't seen a great deal of media coverage from the big man over the past few seasons. It gives us a better understanding why he is reluctant to involve himself in the (social) media circus. A family man who loves playing for our great club. You'll surpass Pepe, Connor! Thanks to him for his dedication and countless solid performances :) A legend.
Big Goldy!! Take it easy lad and we hopefully see ya celebrating next couple of trophy wins with the team! c,Mon the Gers!! 👍😎🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Top drawer, really enjoyed this. Connor is a gutsy player, and to have come through the difficulties he experienced with the heart op, and to rise to being a major driving force that has restored the club I love back to the prominent position we are now in, is just brilliant. Regardless of where we are at the end of the season, which I hope is a successful one, Connor, huge respect from me: you are a great player and a top professional. Best wishes for the rest of the season and beyond. PS. at attacking corners, head it downwards, goals will come!
This big guy gets a lot of unfair criticism, he is a very good player and seems like the type of guy I’d like to go for a beer with. Friends & family is what life’s all about. F the rest of them. Def not easy playing football in Glasgow and I’m on the other side of the fence. Well done big man and thanks for speaking to the lads here
Big man’s been a main stay in our team for years doing it consistently since 2018 hit a tough patch last few months doesn’t make him a bad player or doesn’t change what he’s done for us in the past. Hope he can turn it round, when he is at his best we are at our best 💙
Well done Goldson loved the podcast should always be one of the first names on team sheet 🔴⚪️🔵
He gets lots of stick as he's a cb. Love the guy great signing. People won't know how good he was till he leaves gives his all
Great to hear the man behind the player, massive respect CD 🙏
Good interview. Connor 🙏🏻👍🏻🔴⚪🔵
Rangers legend, Love the guy what a player, what a servant to our club and a class act! 💪 🇬🇧
Rangers legend ?
@@trueblue3719 aye mate that’s how far the standards have dropped
@@trueblue3719 phenomenal in the 55 season and stopped 10 and major part in a team reaching a European final. He was one of the key reasons we recovered from the mess we were in. So aye legend !
Love our Vice Captain. Proper player.. goin through a tough time the now but he ll bounce back better... " i want to die" is a bit clickbaity tho... given he was talking about a while ago.. was worried when i seen that fs. Thank you Connor for raising the standard and all the memories 55. Hang about another year my man🔴⚪🔵
Finally managed to finish this episode just now, wow what a guy!
The big man a rock at the back for us 🔴⚪️🔵🇬🇧
He's not though is he 😂
@@TastyChickenWingone bad month and every rangers fan is wetting there pants 😂😂😂 embarrassing
What a wonderful interview
Brilliant interview Connor ❤
The channel should be open for anyone players or Fans suffering from mental health especially when Men don't talk
Just two minutes into this video and interviewer didn’t even start with small talk and thank Connor for his time (despite interviewer travelling up). Just a tip moving forward for the interviewer, small touches show appreciation and makes a difference for the guest. Connor’s a busy guy.
Also not too sure who the interviewers are, would have been nice for them to introduce themselves before going straight into asking about his playing career. There’s more to him than just football. Also talking way too fast, slow it down lad.
@@mjbw2475👍
Coming from a good place. Huge Rangers fan, so just looking out for my players haha
Big conner is a rock 🪨
After training hes pulling his wire. Busy😂
Solid player, gets a lot of unjust criticism from our fan base, every player has a bad patch but what a servant the big man has been. Proper leader, always vocal on the pitch and demanding the best from the team. Criminally under-appreciated 🔴⚪💙
Great interview, and it's very interesting to hear Connor and his struggles in life and the fact he gets Rangers 👍💙
We have heard about his struggles a million times now it has been a struggle the last 5 years watching this 🤡
@michaelking397
Simple solution, then go watch Partick thistle, instead of whinging
@@michaelking397 Why do folk like you turn into an absolute rat soon as they're online. For most folk, it's because they're cowards. Either or, a rat or/and a coward is something you never want to turn out as in life. Well done.
Holy shit Connor I was quite happy going along hating you 🍀 good interview
Top guy . Great servant to the club 🇬🇧
Gave Goldson more stick than i should have over the years cracking player when on form and has got us over the line in tough times same for Tav we wont truly appreciate these lads until they leave the club 🇬🇧💙❤️
Great guy big heart of gold
Love how true you are about these medical conditions people have no clue if the symptoms affecting the different types of it. already a legend at rangers
Gutted your now injured the team will miss you massively good luck in your recovery Connor 🇬🇧👍
Class act big man, been a fantastic servent to our club 👌🔴⚪️🔵🇬🇧🇬🇧
Great interview lads, thanks for some memorable moments so far Connor, Leipzig at Ibrox the best night ever I've witnessed. Hopefully be some more to come.
Great interview guys and has secured me subscribing. I look forward to future content thanks . 👍
What a player Goldson is🇬🇧💙🤍❤️
Major legend with us non leauge lads from wolves in and around the same age 🙏🏼
Great listen. Comes across as a gent and has been a good servant to Rangers. Hopefully more to come in the next few weeks!
Great interview Connor you've been an absolute rock at the heart of the rangers defence hopefully for a long time to come 👏👏💙💙
Whatever anyone says about Goldson, Tavernier and Lundstram they are pretty much available at all times.
Players become better the more they are missing. These lads have always stood up to be counted.
Personally think it might be time to move them on but they would go with my blessing.
Great interview from the big man! Very down to earth guy
Proud to have this man represent our great club.
Sounds like he's on the road oot of ibrox.
Hopefully we find a player like him available week in week oot!
Everyone makes mistakes in games but he lost the fans when he said the game was over at half time n we were only two down.
Good servant for the club, got us to a European final n stopped 10 so thanks❤️🤍💙
Should be proud of yourself Connor, many fans and kids look upto you and you are a superstar to them 👏
Much respect to Connor, brilliant interview and insight
Class act the big man.
big up goldson. think he will make a good coach/youth coach in the future
Top man is goldson 💪🏼👍🏼💙
Watched this made me like him as a person more but think it’s time to part ways don’t think he’s recovered since that injury against Liverpool at Ibrox but great servant and value for money as one thing is he’s always available
Hopefully the big fella isn't reading this, social media is (in his own words) pointless. I hope the hosts will get the message back to him: he'll be remembered with fondness and immortalised for EL Final and 55.
I'm 42, follower Rangers during the late 80s and early 90s. 55 was as big as anything in my life time.
Brilliant shows you the real Conner 👊🏻🇬🇧👊🏻🇬🇧 what a guy hats off to him for what he’s been through 😮 my fellow prods stay off this man’s back 👌🏻👌🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hope he can get back to his form 💙
Which form is that, the one where he heads into his own goal but can't score at the other end when it is laid on for him, or when he flaps when pressed and pulls his dodgey backpasses that stress out our keeper and other players? He deserves to be benched. Balogun is way better and more assured.
@@rangersnutown goals and missed opportunities happen get a grip 😂
@@Cajkelfa I have a firm grip on your cheek. Muted ya plum
You should enjoy a bit of bench time,you’ve done enough,chill big man
Love this big lad,he is the FASTEST rangers player to reach 300 games.
Having to see your sons go through the same issues must be extremely difficult.
Please though,…never mention the c word before rangers!
A great player for the club; wish him well ❤️🤍💙
That was brilliant!
With his kids having the same condition as Connor is such a shame, no wonder the big guys been struggling on the pitch of late. Having problems and then having a bunch of low life coke fuled twats in the stands abusing you cant be easy, im so glad big Phil has been protecting his players from the scum media and horrible section of so called fans. Even after listening to the interview clowns in the comments still having a go in the comments 🤦♂️ at least Connor has a heart stay strong big guy 💙
King bigman rangers legend 👊
He's done well to come back from heart surgery
Been a great servant for us. Always be remembered at our club. No surrender Connor.
Honestly him and Tavernier, Borna and Lundstram, I can't forget quick enough. I am biding my time as a fan for their time to be up. I am sick of them in our team. I grew up with Rangers class and real Rangers captains. These imitations do not come close. The quicker we are rid, the sooner this team will pick up and head for better times.
Special lad for us gets bit of un fair stick. But he bleeds the club 💙
How I wish we had a Gough, Butcher, Amo, Cuellar, Weir or Bougherra rather than Goldson. He isn't even close to their level. Never has been. Same with Tav. I would rather have Ricksen, Hutton, Porrini any day. Goldson bleeds his pay packet from the club.
@philipgage4143 aye totally ya fud. Lol. Your a Celt. I am a Rangers fan who grew up with real Rangers legends. Goldson is not a Legend and not on their level. We got to a final in spite of him and we blew it because of him and Ramsay. There you go Mr Deluded. It will be the same old faces throwing this away. Though I think they already blew it at Dundee.
But He Fuck It Up In The Final For Us Big Time Us Against Frankfurt,
Top man! ❤💙❤💙
Great big yin be sorry to see him go WATP RTID NSE ❤️🐻💙🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Your time at Rangers is over
Diffently Steven No Longevity For Connor Goldson At Rangers He Bloody Aggroant It's Unbelievable,
I've never been a fan of Goldson, he's been very fortunate at Rangers to have McGregor then Butland behind him. I'm not really concerned about his life before the Gers, I'll never understand how he got a contract when he was willing to walk away and not one offer was made to sign him. We need a better defence going forwards and he shouldn't be in it. We need good footballers not nice guys. I'd be disappointed if he's still at Ibrox next season. Good luck to him wherever he ends up. A good free option for anyone needing a nice guy. Why was this posted after he was dropped?
Goldson you weren’t to blame for that final
Scott wright stood of his own player
He should have stopped that ball from coming over
Remember we played that final with no striker
Plus Kent missed that winning goal
In Goldson we trust
And if you feel you need to move on to Saudi you have deserved it
Big man ❤️🤍💙
u need to remeber connor was fukin solid up until this season but didnt relise he started as a striker reminds me a bit of big jig shocking up front soild at the back goldsons been here for years now he knows wit it means to play for a club like rangers so him tav the stick will come when the results arent gawn well
Just enjoy the ride big man watp
Big Goughie, Said The Real 9 In A Row Winning Captain Said Rangers Was 2 Big For Connor Goldson And Guess What Big Goughie, Was Right Goughie Said That After Semi Defeat 2 Hibs After Connor Goldson Said We Lost The Game Was Gone At Half Time And Rangers Were Only Down 3-1 At Half Time,
Nae idea who you are but congrats on yer biggest ever podcast lads, Rangers are massive!!! Haha WATP
💙🇬🇧💪🏻
🔴⚪️🔵
Legend
No chance. He doesn't compare to real Rangers legends. Neither does Tav, Borna or Lundstram. Rangers legends are guys like Gazza, Laudrup, McCoist, Hateley, Mols, Ricksen, Numan, Goram, Klos, Mgregor, Greg, Jardine, Cooper, Durrant, Iain Ferguson, Barry Ferguson, Arveladze, Brown, Butcher, Gough, Tugay, Caniggia, Kanchelskis and quite a few others. Those two do not and will not ever compare as legends. At most good honest pros and reliable servants who tried their best, in a time we were skint. Ultimately they have bottled too many key moments to ever be legends held in the same esteem. The only way in now, to be remembered as legends, would be for them to win all remaining games and thrash Celtic in the final league game, beating their goal deficit. Then fair play, but come on, I don't see that happening. I would love to be wrong.
Obsessed by money…. All he speaks about
1:07:30 wish he wasn't so hard on himself for that goal. Yeah he got beat but so did Tav.
🇬🇧
actually disgusting to use him as a means like that "i wanna die" have some class
No surrender CONNOR GOLDSON !! teddy bear
Goldson has been on a downward spiral the past few year's. He just doesn't have the legs anymore or the concentration levels.
