His Celtic-mindedness didn't stop him from joining Rangers as a youngster.

They’re still ripping him to shreds, footballwise and religionwise. I know his professionalism will rise above the muppets’ stupidity but I have to ask how a player can play in front of a crowd which despises him.
They will hate him until he scores against Celtic or Hibs and kisses the badge, then he'll become another Hun hero. They are ridden with faux principles and loyalty - just look at the way they turned on Scott Allan (one of the their own) - don't know the meaning of the word integrity, run by criminals and (despite being 6 years old) still living in the 1970s. You'd struggle to find a more backward football club.
I would be more minded to question why any Scottish player with Dylan's talent wouldn't want to try and progress their career down south at bigger clubs and in better leagues Jim (and better stadiums and attendances). Signing for Celtic and The Rangers, after having had a decent few seasons at Hibs and winning things here would make me want to challenge myself amongst better players - after all he'll get the same level of money. Added to that he would get inundated with online abuse and no doubt verbal abuse when out and about in the goldfish bowl. I also think Gerrard will get found out quickly and ultimately leave after not being able to match or beat Celtic - that after all is the be-all-and-end-all for The Rangers fans.
It's why Jason Cummings won't make it in my opinion. He does not have the stomach to really get the head down and prove how good he is amongst better players and teams and he's playing at being a footballer at present. He needs to mature and grow up. And that is a crying shame as he is a natural finisher and cracking striker who would really benefit from playing around good players. That's why I take my hat off to the likes of Liam Henderson who is a brave young lad for one so young - and it's bearing fruit and will make him a better player all round. He'll be an established international next year if he continues to progress at the rate he is doing.
Spot on with Cummings, IMO. Doesn't seem to have the ability to learn. That was why I was happy enough to punt him. He's another Lee Miller, or Scott Crabbe - big fish in a small pool.
As for Dylan, I can only assume he fancies another shot at playing for a rookie manager from Liverpool at a club in turmoil.
If Dylan does go to Der Hun he may fulfill the need to work with a midfield legend and still leave when they go into Admin in a few months. Genuinly can't see Steeevie Geeeee being there at Christmas and wishing like hell the club are gone by around the same time.
Jack Ross at Sunderland now realises he can't afford Mcginn so now looking at Dylan

Dylan has indicated like Mcginn that he isn't going to be rushed into a decision but now Scotland games out the way he is going to sit down with his representatives to start thinking what his next move is
Lennon still saying there is a chink of light he could stay but unless he thinks Lennon is best Manager to keep him playing well and a chance of more Caps I think it's a long shot
Hope to see somebody activity into next week on Transfer front though

I wouldn't begrudge either DM or SJM their move and I think now is the best time for both of them. I don't really know how much more they can achieve with us.
If they go, and they go down South, they leave as cup winning legends and with our best wishes.
If we get good cash from the McGinn deal to strengthen and we don't have to see either of them coming back in the colours of another Scottish club then I think we've done well.
Give Slivka a run and invest the cash (and wages saved) on some solid replacements and we've done well.
Didn't see the full Mexico match but a couple of shockers from DM giving away easy possession in the highlights. Not exactly putting his name up in lights to potential suitors. How did he do apart from that?
That’s why I’ve already said I thought he would take the Ibrox dollar. He’s a professional footballer who, if rumours are to be believed, will almost certainly rise above the verminous side of Sevco, to earn big bucks under a potentially successful young manager. Doesn’t stop me from resenting the inevitable and despite the Hibs Legend label, I hope he has a nightmare experience with them if he moves to the dark side.
Dylan down at Leith Links today.
