Happy Birthday Allan Johnston...



It would have been worth seeing how he performed in the Premier.

It seemed strange that he flopped at Rangers in a inferior league to the Championship. He probably regrets himself as he never rediscovered the form he showed with us.

He looked pretty ordinary in our relegation season tbh. Loved the championship like.
 
Quality for a few seasons - shame he spat his dummy out a bit like. Him and Summerbee were both brilliant at delivering balls for SKP and NQ.

We were spoiled for 3/4 years really when the SOL first opened.

He froze himself out. Refusing a new deal and wanting to go to rangers who wouldn't pay anything knowing that they could get him for nothing in a year.

Wonder if he ever regretted that.
His career bombed after he left us.
Could have been a real legend here.
Defenders just couldn’t work him out.

We didn’t mate. He wanted a large rise in salary and image rights. Was never the same after he left his career went downhill.

His agent was to blame.
Told Reidy that Johnston was worth more money per week, and Reidy disagreed, and Reidy said that a new contract was on his desk ready to sign.
Stalemate was the result.

You are exactly correct mate. John Fickling told the story one day at Mill BMW. He wanted image rights and JF said what effing image rights.
