“Scott Brown Wants To Go To Rangers … A Deal Has Been Done.”
One of the most laugh-out-loud things you can do as a Scottish football fan is go back over old Radio Clyde recordings – there are dozens of them on YouTube – and listen to the nonsense that has occasionally been talked there down through the years. One of the most notorious was Derek Johnstone’s “promise” to resign from the show if Scott Brown did not sign for Rangers. “The deal has been done,” he assured listeners. And not even a bigger offer than the alleged £3.5 million which the Ibrox club had offered for him would change that. The whole exchange, which can be heard below, is wonderful for the sheer ridiculousness of Johnstone’s comments and they are especially hilarious in light of where we are now, with Brown a ten-year man at Celtic and one of the most influential and successful captains in our history.
