Cummings to Ibrox....

[guthrie01]

Am I the only one who thinks he will struggle?

Sevco aren't a great side and don't create bucketloads.

Some folk gave Cummings abuse when he was at ER because of his previous club, but in many ways he got an easy ride. He was scoring a few goals against diabolical opposition and that papered over a few cracks in his game.

He didn't score a goal for us when we were in the Premier League.

He can't play up front on his own.

He never really formed a partnership with anyone.


I don't see the Sevconian hordes giving him time to settle, or a great deal of encouragement if he doesn't hit the ground running. He could easily be one of their most unpopular players ever.

Most of the time I saw him I thought he looked quite easy to play against - if you don't give him time on the ball, and if you keep him on his right side then he really doesn't have that much.

I thought he should have stayed with us to play every week at a higher level but he fancied his chances down South. I don't know if he'll find it that easy to get game time there.

TBH I wouldn't have been in a hurry to bring him back to ER.


It it was his goals that got us promoted, the rest of our strikers where pretty much useless in terms of goals scored against the diabolical opposition as you put it.

Jason is the type of player who doesn’t really do or offer a team a whole lot, but give him just a slight chance to score and he will take it.

He was still developing when he was first in the Premier League and has proven himself capable against the top sides with our cup games, scoring numerous against Hearts and Rangers themselves.

I think your being way too dismissive of Jason, he will score goals for them unfortunately and is a great signing for anyone in this league barring Celtic.

[Nicho87]

Hate to say it but rangers are signing a few good players imo. Cummings is goals.
Murphy will be a very good acquisition.

[Captain Trips]

Has he actually signed for them yet?

He's a ****ing mug going to that ****.

He is currently reading through the Sevco songbook.

[HoboHarry]

It would be up to the administrator, but the chances are that the borrowed players would be sent back.

On the basis that they would be aiming to keep the club going I would think they would let the high earners go first, Alves etc etc. If admin came at the end of the month they can't then recruit further.......

[WhileTheChief..]

^^^Agree with most of that.

I know it’s not a popular opinion but I just don’t think he’s that good a player.

I’d takes Stokes every time over Cummings.

[bigwheel]

announced now...they also have an option to buy Cummings at the end of the season.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

If we had a % sell on the paranoid me thinks he'll go for a low fee

[SaulGoodman]

Hope he fails miserably

[DavidDavidGray]

Seeing him in the strip is painful

[Stuart93]

Supposedly option to buy for 600k...part of me is thinking Forrest wouldn't want to make a loss on him so makes me think about how much we actually got for him.

Drastic measures from the huns to get a glimpse at a Scottish cup winners medal.

Probably going to have to duck but don't understand how anyone can look at him standing there with that the rangers top and say they won't boo him at ER

Probably only thought that one up about two minutes before the interview began. :agree:

Hope he fails miserably. Don't get me wrong, he scored some important goals for us and helped us win the championship and the Scottish Cup but I hope he fails miserably with the Huns. I won't boo him if he plays for them against us at Easter Road but I would have my fingers crossed that big Marv lets him know that he's in a game. Know what I mean like.

[cleanyman]

He's playing to the gallery. Part of his job.

We loved it at Hibs now it's at another club. So be it.

Good signing for them, he will definitely get a few goals. Not sure how I will react when he comes back. I liked him as a player, he did us a wee turn signing a new deal and was the hammer of the Hearts. Normally that would mean a positive reaction from the crowd but seeing that strip on him might change all that.

[givescotlandfreedom]

Hopefully he's pish. Our players know his weaknesses better than anyone.

[Stuart93]

Fingers crossed

[greenlex]

Thought he was signing for Hearts? Why are they getting pipped to their targets?

[Pretty Boy]

Do people really think he is saying those things off the cuff? He'll have been given his script by Traynor and told to keep hitting the key phrases.

In saying that it's still not nice to watch and I hope it all goes wrong so he is away from that club asap.

[lugz]

Surely the majority on here seen this as an inevitable out come when he left for Forest. Honestly thought it would be longer than it has been but thought it was a cert he'd be back in Scottish football (not at us).

[Ronniekirk]

Anyone want to buy a signed framed Cummings top
Come to think of it my Daughters boyfriend is a Rangers fan so he will be happy to leave it in the hallway of their flat To be fair its never been taken down
Many a ribbing i have given him when Cummings scored against them
Hope he doesn't get the chance to get his own back

Do rangers even have scouts or do they just poach their targets?

Why do Rangers always try and get one up on them..

[Unseen work]

Think Jase will link up very well with Tavernier.

[RossScott1991]

He will certainly help them finish above us and aberdeen this season. I think 2nd will be sewn up. But i can imagine over at celtic their point of view they won't be quaking at thought of these rangers signings, we all know Jase has goals in his locker. But he isn't going to take Rangers to anywhere near level of toppling Celtic or competing in Europe. Their fans will soon find that out.

Horrible sight to see him in their top and tweeting ''couldn't turn down chance to play for such a famous club;;:sick::sick:

[tamig]

Scoring goals in League One wouldn’t necessarily got him into the Scotland squad though. He knows if he plays well and scores goals for the Huns then he’ll be straight in the squad. Unfortunately it’s a no brainer for both parties. Hopefully he’s pish for them but I doubt he will be.

I don’t think there are any Scotland games again this season so not sure that would have been in the bold Jason’s thoughts.

[Borderhibbie76]

I agree but at the same time Celtic fans will be wondering why they're not making any signings...especially to get them prepared for the Europa league.

[Is It On....]

Very disappointed with JC..would have understood (but been p#ssed) if he had gone to Hearts..but them ffs..!!

[Kojock]

I despise every thing connected to that horrible vile club. Cummings is now part of that and I hope he gets it tight on his return to ER.

[danhibees1875]

I think it's a fairly sensible move for Cummings if he isn't getting game time down south and they've struggled to settle. I won't boo him, for various reasons.

I'm surprised rangers went for him and their fans are so delighted (maybe I'm not that surprised, actually). Cummings would have been a good addition for Hibs/hearts in a battle for 4th, but I'm not sure he'll be the difference to get 2nd instead of 3rd...

[supermcginn]

I don’t understand why Cummings would get treated any differently to Griffiths. He actually did more for us as a club than Griffiths.

Exactly 👍

[Heisenberg]

Cummings will get abuse but it won’t bother him one bit. It’ll probably make him try that little bit harder and probably celebrate a whole lot more if/when he scores against us.

[K.Marx]

Probably in the minority here but I won’t be giving him any abuse when he returns to ER. He isn’t a Hibs fan and doesn’t really owe anything to us and has made a move which is probably good for his career just now. Painful seeing him in that strip but seemed somewhat inevitable he would end up back in Scotland playing for a team we’re not too keen on.

[cleanyman]

I hope the fans do nothing when he comes back. Silence is deafening. Certainly won't be on the level of the Griffiths love in

Hibs legend.

[Diclonius]

I wonder how we'd treat our ex players if Griffiths went to Rangers and Cummings went to Celtic.

Now moving on, have we signed anyone yet?

[SouthsideHarp_Bhoy]

:agree:

Yeah, i wouldnt boo him, i hold no ill will towards him other than his choice of club - hope he and they fail spectacularly.

I think he will do ok, and will be interested to see him, but ive never thought he was particuarly good.

At least he will soon get his first top flight goal of his career...

[Sir David Gray]

I would rather retire than sign for Rangers.

[lyonhibs]

You always crop up saying this kind of thing in the purely hypothetical world of a fan. If football was actually your career and how you earned your keep, things would, I suspect, be rather different.

Anyway, **** Rangers FC and all who sail in her, including JC (though feel free to keep up your record against the real Filth from Gorgie)

I thoroughly appreciate what Cummings achieved at Hibs, but now he is utterly worthless as far I'm concerned.

A few things about Cummings moving and subsequent loan back looks really dodgy.

We knocked back £1m for him yet he signs a new deal with a £500k release clause, Warburton wanted him at Rangers and with his agent being a huge hun this all seems very dodgy. It reminds me of the Gough saga when he went to Spurs only to return within a year to Rangers, Dundee U would never sell to Rangers so it seemed the ideal scenario.

Disappointed in Cummings but it just goes to prove there's no loyalty any more in football, surely he's not that thick as to think all this would be ok.

Agreed. At least a hot bovril.

Who knows but the only way he'd sign a new deal was with the release clause, we needed his goals last season and if if meant losing money it was probably worth it just to get promoted. Don't think we saw him coming back so soon and signing for der Hun though.

There's no sentiment from the players and who can blame them? It's a short career.

Presumably he can live with getting the bird at ER and possibly from some of his own fans at Ibrox.

Wouldn’t say stitched up, however a few others predicted and I did so myself that he’d end up at either hearts or rangers in January.

[ancient hibee]

I don’t believe clubs in England buy Scots players so that they can sell them to Rangers.

[weecounty hibby]

He will get no time to settle and if he goes on a run without scoring the Huns will be raging about his lack of effort. As good a goals scorer as he was in Div 1, I always thought he was a man short if he wasn't scoring. Grateful for his efforts, but they are now in the past, I'm afraid I hope the rest of his career is as successful as the last six months. Anyone signing for that disgusting organisation doesn't deserve well wishes and certainly not from Hibbies after the way they have treated Hibs with contempt for years

[Hibrandenburg]

Call me small minded but I could never feel warmth towards anyone who pulls on that strip never mind wish them well.

[500miles]

It's probably the right move for him. Still not proven at this level, needs the gametime. I hope he scores every week, as long as the opposition score at least three.

Can't help but like the wee radge.

[spike220]

My (adapted Irish)blessing to Cummings sums up my sentiments:

May the centre halves rise to meet the crosses into the box intended for you
May Josh Windass through balls always be 3 steps behind you
May Sunshine on Leith always ring in your ears every time we dump the Rangers
and the Scottish Cup Triumph with the Hibees be the highlight of your career
Until we meet again, may the offside flags be your enduring foe.

[stu in nottingham]

I don’t believe clubs in England buy Scots players so that they can sell them to Rangers.

Nor do I. Cummings was a punt by a previous manager (who proceeded not to give him much of a chance). In any case, Warburton and the Rangers relations were so poor when he left they were threatening to sue each other. I don’t think he’d be working for their benefit.

Meantime, I’m trying to imagine why Forest would take part in engineering a move to Ibrox because I think they’d find it laughable.

[cjward2]

He can do what he likes as far as I'm concerned.

We nicked him for nothing from the bitter Yams and made money from him on a transfer.

Between that time, he inflicted a lot of pain on them, gave us a lot of fun and with a great goal in the 2-2 fightback, the winner in the replay and a pass to Stokes for the first goal in the Final, was absolutely instrumental in me having the greatest day of my Hibs life in 55 years and completely rejuvenating our club.

He owes us nothing and will always be a Hibee hero to me.

Have to agree with this. Good luck to him, just hope he NEVER scores against us.

Don't dislike the guy. Always be a legend, as far as I'm concerned that's his second career mistake in a year.

I know he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, but signing for a club/company that sprook religious hatred as their raison d'être is not a great move IMHO. Particularly, as I don’t doubt there are other teams that would happily pay is wages.

My thoughts too. I know players love to kiss the badge etc but it seemed to me he loved scoring against them so I doubt he's really a keen follower of sevco but will now doubt tell the press what they want to hear. I have my doubts he will score lots unless sevco give him the service. Game at er against them will be tasty to say the least.

[Hibeesmad]

I will always appreciate the goals he scored for Hibs and he was a part of the Scottish cup winning team so I will always see him as one of the ‘legends’ so let him get on with his career. I personally hope he does bad at rangers then does well if he goes back down south but he will always be welcome back at Hibs if he ever wanted to come back to Easter Road

[s2hart]

Good luck to the lad, disappointed he chose to go to them, he should've stuck it out a bit longer down south, will still be a legend in my eyes, I'm not too bothered about him coming back to us as I think we have a better all round player in Oli Shaw.

[hibsbollah]

Call me small minded but I could never feel warmth towards anyone who pulls on that strip never mind wish them well.

I have no problem with the move Jason has made, particularly when he wasn't getting a look in at Forest. At his age he needs to be playing regularly.

However, this tweet is I'll advised in the least. A lot of players are clueless around what they should post on social media, but you wouldn't think their parents would need schooled on what is and isn't sensible.

This is the 'top' moment in his son's career so far according to Daddy, and he's only just put the shirt on, not even played a game yet. Not as proud of his son's many achievements at Hibs after they took a chance on him after being cast aside by our city neighbours?

i thought Cummings came from a Hearts family, but looks like Daddy is a Hun, at least today?

[itslegaltender]

He is a legend. Whatever he does, whoever he plays for in the future does not matter.

[greenlex]

Not when he set up McGregor to prevent us beating them at Parkhead he wasn’t.

You are confusing being a fan with being a pro. He is 100% a fan100% of the time. Cummings never was and probably never be a Hibs fan. Hibs fans are easier on Griffiths because he is a fan. Just like they are/werewith Riordan.

[JimBHibees]

Not when he set up McGregor to prevent us beating them at Parkhead he wasn’t.

He is a professional footballer when he is playing, doing his job. Kind of remember it was more like poor defending that set that goal up anyway.

[Pretty Boy]

Are you suggesting he should have disregarded his professional integrity because of his personal support?

If Scott Bain was to get the nod in goals for the derby I'll not be expecting him to play any differently from usual because he supported/supports Hearts.

They are professionals and should perform accordingly.

Cummings knows he has a lot to do to endear himself to the Neanderthals, many don't like him. The Huns are THE most insecure, bigoted mob on the planet and need their players to proclaim undying loyalty to their "cause". IMO, his Dad is simply doing what most parents would do, trying to help his son along in his career. Words cost nothing and the worst that can happen is that he irritates a handful of Hibs fans.

[MrSmith]

Talking of premonitions, I predict he’ll fade away into obscurity at The Rangers. Great guy and talent but don’t think he’s all that he’s being made out to be. Good luck though 👍 definitely gonna need it!

[Colr]

If he gets opportunities, he’ll score goals. If he doesn’t score, they will be on his back and there is maybe less to other aspects of his game.

He’s a great striker.

Jason could have signed for Sevco for nothing in the summer if he wanted to. Instead he signed a new contract guaranteeing us a transfer fee, helped get us promoted and moved down south to try his luck in the English leagues.

He's not been getting a game and has been allowed to leave by a new manager and has ended up with Sevco where I have no doubt he will be successful while still earning money he would not have received at Hibs.

I don't like the fact he is a Hun now but it doesn't take away from what he achieved as a hibby and I certainly don't hold any grudges about him doing what's best for his career.

Totally agree :agree:

[WeeRussell]

It's been the past few seasons in particular and relations are friendly between the two clubs themselves, if not necessarily the fans. They both recognise how mutually helpful loaning players is.

There isn't quite the rivalry you might expect, mainly because for a long time Forest have been more successful and completely blew Notts away in the Clough years. The team's fans are segregated during matches but there would always be many that would sit in either end, including myself. Forest see Derby County as their main rivals though undoubtedly they like to put one over on each other on rare meetings. Leicester City fans tend to see Forest as their derby rivals but that's not reciprocated.

Forest supporters tend to dismiss Notts supporters as 'bitter' and 'moaners'. County fans tend to see Forest as patronising and arrogant. There's a bit of truth in both views in my opinion!

Thanks for that Stu. Interesting stuff.

He left in the summer - deal wae it

[gillythehibby]

No sure what the big deal is. We sold him after he did well for us and we enjoyed him whilst he was at Hibs. He was never " one of our own" as they say and deffo not a Legend as some would have us believe. Decent player but never a Legend.

He was part of the team that won us the Scottish Cup, scored a goal to bring us back from the death at the PBS, scored the goal that emptied them in the replay, scored the winning pen in the Semi final and played a big part in the final itself. (Cummings doon the line to start with)

Then you have all the goals he scored to get us back in the position we are in now, signed a new deal to get us ££ too even though if Ibrox was his aim the new deal would have almost certainly ruled them out.

Hi JC

I spoke with someone on Saturday and asked him is the boy away to the Rangers then I quote " he wont go there is a bad move him coming back here"
I will PM you

[G B Young]

When I read his dad's tweet I thought it was remarkable that Jason helping to make history by winning the Scottish Cup with Hibs didn't rate as a prouder moment than signing a loan deal at the Rangers, but then if he's a big Rangers supporter then I guess he must have hated that cup final!!

Personally, it doesn't really bother me that he's ended up there. Better than signing for Hearts in the sense that I'd hate to see him scoring in a derby against us. The way he wound up the yams when scoring for Hibs against them was one of my favourite memories of him at ER.

[Onion]

Exactly, it's absolutely crazy. Same category as those same small-minded idiots who's very first though after us winning the Cup after 114 years was to run across Hampden Park lto noise up some irrelevant Sevco fans. :brickwall

[18Hibee75]

Cummings was a legend in my eyes last week, but far from it now. The boy has absolutely zero loyalties in football and knew that his move to the Huns would not rest easy with hibs fans. As someone pointed out before, I'll see how he conducts himself when playing for them, and especially against us before I start to boo him. If he plays up to their support and celebrates like a fanny if/when he scores against us then he deserves nothing less than a hostile atmosphere towards him.

A Jambo friend of mine is genuinely good pals with Cummings and texted him about his move, according to him he would kiss the badge if he scored against us, don't believe that for a second however.

[JeMeSouviens]

Are die Neuen Huns keeping Morelos? All bitterness at seeing him in that horrible blue jersey aside, I'm not at all sure JC would start ahead of him? There's got to be a reasonable chance he just has his arse on the bench for a few months and then heads off elsewhere. :pray:

Hi! I’ve just made this straw man argument. What do you think?

[ian cruise]

When you see how much JC enjoyed scoring against Hearts booing and giving him abuse is probably only going to be counter productive. Boy is a footballer trying to have the best career he can, he's a Hibs legend. Only reason for not hoping he does well is that it means Rangers end up above us in the league, but I certainly won't be showering him with abuse just because he's signed for rangers.

[Northernhibee]

Hi! I’ve just made this straw man argument. What do you think?

I think some people have weird priorities. JC is a Hibs legend and he stayed to get us promoted and a transfer fee and SA tried his hardest to move directly to Sevco for as little as humanly possible and disrupting the team.

One is seen as just trying to get a money move and would be welcome back, yet people appear angry or bitter about JC, a Scottish Cup winner.

I can't be the only one to find that absurd?

You can't blame the boy for trying to progress his career, but what disapponts me is that fair enough he signed on the understanding that he could go when a club met his release clause. I don't think I was alone in being surprised when he went to Forrest, but no sooner was he away than people on here were posting that in Jan back he would come either to hearts or rangers I personally didn't believe it, but what happened Jan, signed on loan to rangers with £700k fee agreed to sign permanently in the summer. Yet I'm told rangers are skint, broke but on they go signing international players, even Kris Boyd complaining about them unsettling Killie's winger Jones. Frankly it stinks I don't believe there's corruption invoved but certainty do believe that a blind eye is being shown to certain practices & clubs by the SFA & SPFL.
So this what I see, Aug17 transferred to Nots Forrest, fee £500k, scores one goal. Jan 18 transfer on loan to rangers with fee of £700k agreed to sign permanently in summer. NF get bigger fee than Hibs cover all expenditure, rangers get the player rumors had it they wanted but knew Hibs wouldn't sell to them, as per Scott Allen.
Scottish football's level playing field, don't think so.

You're new here, aren't you? :greengrin

Sensible move - his playing time at Forest wasn't likely to increase under what is widely considered to be an uber-conservative and not especially attack minded coach.

He knows the game well here, he'll probably be mates with a fair number of the Rangers squad and it will put him in a good window for both Scotland and a more lucrative move in future (the very near future hopefully).

It wouldn't at all surprise me if he comes back to haunt us between now and the end of the season.

No, quite the opposite. His professionalism superseded his being a fan where it matters, where he can make it count. And I wouldn’t expect anything else. Being a fan is irrelevant was my point. Could add in Kris Boyd to that list v Rangers.

Will they stick with Murty as Manager next Season I doubt it unless they finish second and do very well in the Cup , but even then its how they do in Europe that is key for Dave King
I personally think they are giving it their best shot to support Murty and Nichol , to achieve European Football and to try and generate some enthusiasm in the support which is pissed off having to pay for dud under forming managers and the running of the Club into more debt and not appointing the right Manager in the first place
Any Rangers fan i know knows they are still miles behind Celtic , and are not complimentary about King
The next few months are crucial to them hence the flurry of activity
However its noticeable they cant buy the players they want which is forcing their hand to bring in Loan players
If nothing else it will be interesting to see how this plays out

Even with all the signings, 6 months isn't a great amount of time for players to bed and gel. I can still see a good fight from 3 teams for 2nd place, depending on Lennon's signings this window ,if we could get a goal-scoring midfielder and a bit consistency then its possible we could challenge for that place. But who knows :cb

Playing Devil's Advocate and being impartial here, I'm actually quietly impressed with what Murty is doing. :duck:
He's revamped the coaching side and avoided the nonsense that went on under Pedro, Fanny's hat and Fat Ally by signing players who are Scottish, know the score up here and will probably come relatively cheap given the ridiculous wasted outlays of the past .
Jason Cummings, Jamie Murphy and Russell Martin are all good players and will have no problems adjusting. These guys are not a risk.
Yes they are way behind Celtic (in both budget and player pool depth) and they won't have Celtic's consistency (although they are capable of beating them in a one off game) but they should still finish second due to budget levels alone.

I think he's been forced into that, TBF. His bosses can't afford to spend a lot.

Also, given that he may only be there until the summer, it makes sense not to tie anyone up that the new manager might not fancy.

It is, I agree, a smart way of doing things.

Probably the best player I've seen at Hibs, what vision he had, and had plenty goals in his game too, in fact, he would have been great in this Hibs team, just what we are crying out for.

Be interesting to know what the buying fee would be and how big a slice of it comes back along to us.
Sure some journalist tweeted 600k ( that’s a dear provi for Sevco )

[jacomo]

Playing Devil's Advocate and being impartial here, I'm actually quietly impressed with what Murty is doing. :duck:
He's revamped the coaching side and avoided the nonsense that went on under Pedro, Fanny's hat and Fat Ally by signing players who are Scottish, know the score up here and will probably come relatively cheap given the ridiculous wasted outlays of the past .
Jason Cummings, Jamie Murphy and Russell Martin are all good players and will have no problems adjusting. These guys are not a risk.
Yes they are way behind Celtic (in both budget and player pool depth) and they won't have Celtic's consistency (although they are capable of beating them in a one off game) but they should still finish second due to budget levels alone.


All fair comment. What gives me faith is that Murty’s team is liable to chuck it in any given game.

[beensaidbefore]

.. despite the general opinion that his contract had a buy-out clause, which Hibs had agreed to?

When was this contract signed? Before or after alleged head turning?

Why is everybody so worried about Cummings going to Ibrox....we were "offered" him apparently but NL turned it down and rightly so for various reasons. I don't have a problem with that.......lets see what develops.....particularly how McLaren performs. We might be pleasantly surprised by all accounts. He might surprise us all...and then compare him to Jason if you still feel the need!! Watch this space

[SunshineOnLeith]

Cummings was wanted by them as soon as he banged in the goals against them. Cummings really wanted to go at the time. Hibs would not sell to them. Fannies hat buys him for Forrest. 6 months later hes up at them. Not difficult to see whsts happened here. Agent played a blinder. Hibs screwed over.

If Cummings "really wanted to go", then let's give some credit to the lad's professionalism that he never spat the dummy, ran to the papers etc. And also pay tribute to his loyalty to the club that let him live his dream of playing football for a living that he signed a new contract rather than simply leaving on a free.

Despite being a Hearts fan as a kid, he's shown more respect and loyalty to Hibs than the 'of our own' trio of Ian Murray, Derek Riordan and Kevin Thomson managed between them.

[WhileTheChief..]

If Cummings is a Hibs legend we need to find a new word to describe the Famous Five.

First division player that scored a few against the Huns and Hearts and he’s given legendary status??

No chance.

Is Gunnersson also a Hibs legend?!

For being part of the squad that won the cup, yes he is. Anyone who played a part is a legend imo

You do realise his role in us winning the one cup we all hoped and prayed for aye? Without Cummings there's no Scottish Cup, just let that sink in.

Gunnersson is a hero, in fact a legend.

Every last one of they players who brought that cup back are legends.

The full cup winning squad are legends. They provided a day that many of us had given up hope of ever seeing in our lifetime.

I wish him nothing but misery during his time at his present employer but Jason Cummings is certainly a Hibs legend.

[SunshineOnLeith]

Absolutely. With bonus points for being the coolest man on the open top bus.

[Northernhibee]

Niklas Gunnarson was immense when he came on. Made a fantastic tackle when Rangers were breaking into the box, closed down everything - really solid defensive display under pressure.

what a daft statement to make

[lugz]

Crazy anyone is questioning his legend status because he moved to rangers. Go back watch the DVD and his contribution then come back. Every player that day is and forever will be a legend regardless of where their future career takes them.

Playing in Sweden it seems. Djurgårdens.

[007]

He'd be a great shout. They were 3rd in the Swedish top league last year. The season having ended 2 months ago. He only played 18 games for them in 2017, he started the last 2 games but was on the bench for the 6 before that. He'd better off with Hibs... and it's a couple of degrees warmer here.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

To be honest I was more gutted when wee Russell went and signed direct from Hibs to the Buns!

:agree:

Much more, yet now a few years on I've as good as forgotten that he ever played for the Oldco Huns.

[Vini1875]

My only interest in all this is what it means to Hibs in terms of any sell on clause we have for Jason. Didn't love him when he was at Hibs and don't hate him now he is at the huns. I understand if he stayed with NFFC he was going nowhere so from his point of view and for his career he is doing the right thing.

My question would be whether that was based on the fee or any profit.

Of course, a sell-on clause only kicks in if there is an actual sale.

Given Rangers have agreed a fee to sign him in the summer I seriously doubt that Hibs were offered him

If you believe the media reports it sounds as though Forest are happy to recoup their outlay so no profit involved

Yep. And given he's pushed for the move there instead of staying South as per the original plan before his manager Fanny hat got punted it's even less likely.

"I am absolutely delighted to get the chance to join Rangers,"

"This is one of the biggest clubs in world football and I can't wait to play at Ibrox in front of so many supporters, it really is a dream come true.

Who would say such a thing?
The quote is not Jason's, but somebody rather closer to home.

Regardless of what we as supporters feel about that club, it is very different for a professional player.

Anyone who's watched more than a handful of Cummings interviews will know that Cummings is about as likely to say
'It really is a dream come true' as he is to say 'what what old bean, it'd be awfully kind of you to accompany me to this evenings ballet performance'.

"one of the biggest clubs in the world" is just their standard line new signings are expected to trot out, like our signings are always blown away by East Mains, or Celtic's have dreamed of pulling on the hoops since they were a child.

fair enough points...but tbh it's a great move for him. And he will be delighted....If you are a Scottish pro, you'd find it hard to turn down Rangers or Celtic. They are the biggest clubs in our league. He will revel in the big game atmosphere there. If he gets game time, he will score goals.

As soon as the game went professional any player loyalty ended.

"No matter how many times Hibernian’s chairman and Scottish FA vice-chairman, Rod Petrie, and certain other biased commentators wish to play down Saturday’s mayhem and violence, the truth must not be distorted"

"It is to be hoped that all of Scottish football will share Rangers’ disgust and any attempts to attach blame to our supporters for the disgraceful and violent behaviour, which led to our players and fans fearing for their safety, will not be accepted or tolerated by this Club."

"We acknowledge that a tiny minority of Rangers fans also encroached on the pitch but only after having been faced with prolonged and severe provocation and in order to protect our players and officials who were being visibly attacked in front of them."

"This distressing and deeply disturbing episode would never have happened had Hibs fans behaved properly..."

This still sits on their official website!
