I'm not one for public sentimentality and anniversaries are for those we forget, he is sadly missed.

Agree with above. Randomly my season ticket seat was next to him. Got to know him well over the years. He would have loved the fitbaw this season. RIP my friend

Welsh was an established pro who wanted minutes to get away from Celtic, and we benefited from that. Rice is different. He chose Rangers over a pro deal at Motherwell, spent four years on the fringes, and stalled his own development. We shouldn’t be the club rebuilding a player’s career for a direct rival.

Ive never been a fan of loaning players from clubs in the same league...however, Stephen Welsh was a breath of fresh air in terms of his abilities and his attitude.

Yes, 100% this move smacks of short termism. We now have a long term sustainable plan so lets stick to that. I'm not averse to the odd loan move to address specific circumstances, but not as a routine part of your overall strategy. Loan players are not your club's players and can be recalled and, add to that, Rice will have to sit out at least 3 games per season against his parent club. As you say Joe, its not our model.

I'm older and that went right over my head. Just like that Brazil cross when they scored did for Gunn.

"Singing Together" on BBC School Radio, circa 1972?

If Eli plays for us again, the Bois should sing "Oh Elijah, Elija Just" to the catchy tune of Little Liza Jane. One for the older generation, I suspect.
