    Does anyone know of an attempt by Graeme Souness to sign Liam Brady for Rangers in the late 80's but the move was turned down by Brady?

    I heard of this ages ago but a quick Google search doesn't seem to return anything. Apparently this happened some time prior to the signing of Mo Johnston in 1989.

    There was rumours at the time but I have never seen anything substantial
    He did try to sign Ray Houghton though

    The same Rangers that have been about since 1872 just go on to the SFL website you can see the club history there ;)

    That is interesting, I also remember hearing about him trying to sign Houghton. Not sure if it was around same time or not.

    Just thinking about Brady, I wonder was it around the time he was finishing his career in Italy and looking for a move back to Britian.

    I know he went after Hougton not long after he took over so I imagine if he did try to sign Brady it would have been about the same time

    I think the club formerly known as Rangers were linked with Mark Lawrenson as well at one point. Lawrenson's career was curtailed by injury.

    Souness played with Brady at Sampdoria I think, Trevor Francis was there around that time as well I think. Souness signed Francis for the old Govan club at the tail end of his career.

    Did he go for Giles and Dunphy while he was at it to complete the set!?

    He played a couple of games for Barnet at the end of his career and he was absolutely shocking.

    You need to get over it Rangers still play in the famous colours with the same crest and you only need to look at the official SFL website to see the history your continuos snide remarks are very boring and childish
    My last word on it if you can't read what's in front of you and very easy to find then you have a problem.

    Once again you have detailed a thread by your trolling

    Rangers were linked with him but it was paper talk

    'Tis you that needs to get over it and 'tis you that is derailing the thread bud:pac:
    Any sign of that money for Jelavic yet, or was that another club that owed money on that deal;)

    Back on topic, Rangers were linked with everyone back then, they were spending money like there was no tomorrow. Souness to be fair to him was determined to break the shameful tradition of not signing players from RC backgrounds. He was embarrassed by it I'd say, his wife at the time was a Catholic I believe.
