Presumably that includes the Glasgow Herald and Evening Times - get real.
Collins isn't playing for Scotland due to his own admission to Andy Roxburgh
that he didn't want to be a fringe member of the squad. No-one is too big to
play for Scotland, an example of that is Mo Johnston. How many times have you
seen Celtic this season or indeed any other Scottish team to make a statement
"has been the best player this season"?

You could start by overpowering Partick Thistle before you start thinking
about the Rangers.

They have just sold one to Chelsea which explains that or have you just
coneniently overlooked that. In a country that is only about 15% Catholic
it's not really that surprising is it but Rangers will sign anyone that will
play for the club and help Rangers win trophies (trow-fee). However, giving
that statistic, are the Celtic books not overweighed with Catholics. Opening
this up to unblinkered readers, have you noticed how it's the Celtic fans that
appear obsessed with the issue of religion.

>They have only ever had one (Mr.Mo"Do you want to buy a shellsuit"Jhonston)
>in almost 120 year history.

Bollocks. This has been explained to you over the last few weeks, indeed
James Ross gave an account of the Rangers history. In the last year Rangers
had Johnston and Spencer on their books - sort of shoots down your accusation.

>Yes Netnews readers Rangers are bigots and are not ashamed of it.

Shite. Such statements just got to show your naivety on the subject and your
blatent blinkered attitude. I would assume that decent Celtic fans are
ashamed by your ramblings and accusations.

We have or are you not able to decypher letters joined up to make words. This
practice has no place in Scottish fitba'. I'm sure Chris (Sean Sub) would
even back us up on this one. Incidentally, it's another article of the type
accusing Rangers solely of bigotry, sectarianism and hatred while Celtic are
portrayed as pure white in this issue. This is not the case so stop
pretending otherwise. Myself and Sandy never post anything that could be
construed as mocking someones personal religion, but you seem obsessed by it.
