Rangers want it, Hecky wants it and Middleton wants it. Was in the stand today. It's happening pal.Quote:

Without clouding the issue, which maybe I’ve invented, I was of the understanding that, because of recent transfer friction ( ie. McGinn with Celtic and Allan with Sevco, ) with both the ugly sisters, we were personna non grata and unlikely to do deals with them. :dunno:
No, he is RubyHibee/IvanDrago and a million other previously banned usernames on here.Quote:

Laddie will have a great platform to show what he can do.
Glenn Middleton would improve our squad and bring robust aggressive qualities to the squad that we lack. Don’t care where he comes from if he improves the team take him !! At the game
Today there was a few moans and groans last year we all cried out for a certain Scott Allan ( match winner ) well today we got that man and people still left grumbling !! We will only get better and fans will see what this management team bring have some faith and patience GGTTH
Is he? Honestly cant remember him standing out. Would he not be a replacement for JoeQuote:

Most people are bigots so why get so worked up about it? I have an unshakeable belief that Hibernian FC are the greatest club on planet Earth - this makes me a bigot, and I'm quite proud of it. If you don't want Middleton because he plays for the huns then that is maybe bigoted in not such a good way. If he improves us as a team then I'll roll out the welcome mat.
Erm, do you not remember the teams Pat Fenlon put out?? We played with 4 central midfielders, all 5ft 7, no pace. Watching made my eyes bleed.Quote:

Well said but what you say doesn't meet bigot criteria. However rightly so rangers won't offer us a player who may improve us as they are bigotsQuote:

Also, Sevco campaigned to have us punished more severely after the 2016 cup final. They are ****. I would feel queasy doing business with them.
Agree completelyQuote:

They also have a bigotry epidemic and dance closely with xenophobia, the far right and all things staunch and supremacist. They're a sleazy club and I don't want a progressive club like Hibs to be associated with them at all.
Celtic singing about the RA and there weird Americanised version of what Ireland is isn't even in the ballpark of ****mery that Scotland's shame display on a daily basis.
Didn't Celtic's actions after they were formed almost force Hibs out of existence in the 1880s and 90s?Quote:

Hibs should not be loaning anyone from a team in the same league! Surely the recruitment team can do better?
Aberdeen did it (Ryan Christie/Celtic) and it worked out well for them. When was the last time we finished above them?Quote:

Ryan Christie who by all accounts Aberdeen have developed .We seemingly have a great development and recruitment strategy but now linked with a loan player from a rival who can’t play against them! Sorry not for meQuote:

Ryan Christie who played a part in Aberdeen finishing second on multiple occasions. It was good business for all parties involved.Quote:

Totally. Why do people care if Middleton is a Rangers player? If they want to loan him out and we can benefit from it then let's do it.Quote:

If they are not good enough for their primary team at the moment then why for Hibs? Nothing to do with what team they are from.
