If we were going to bring a loan player in from our rivals, the Welsh deal worked almost perfectly for all parties. We won a watch, he won a move and, you have to say, the points he helped us win against Hearts and Rangers, didn't exactly hinder Celtic's league challenge. The one regret was O'Neill's pathetic recall, seemingly just to cup tie him, but at least they didn't make a killing on his move to Swansea.

wellfan Posted 54 minutes ago Report Share Posted 54 minutes ago 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.

Aye, if he stayed with us he'd likely have 50+ first team appearances and ready for a move to a team that want hom as a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
