narrow-minded traditionalists does not pass muster. The promise given to
Ferguson by the Rangers board, four years earlier, suggests that when Souness broke the sectarian barrier, he was not so much storming a stronghold of resistance as pushing at an open door. He deserves some credit for his courage in signing Johnston - but not nearly as much as he claims for himself in his various memoirs.

married to a
Catholic and didn't want to live by one policy at home and another at work. His writing shows that David Murray's backing (after Murray bought the club in 1989) was crucial in his being able to sign Johnston - he refers to "the particular problem of religious discrimination which bedevilled my first three years at Ibrox", and to the opposition he faced from some of Rangers' board.

Catholic players. Every one of the quotes I used shows the reality of the situation - please read them again. I could have chosen from any number of quotes from his books and found it difficult to stick to 2 from each. If you think only one of these 4 quotes suggests Rangers had a policy of not signing Catholics, I think you need to take your head out of the sand.

I knew there would be fierce opposition in some quarters and that proved to be the case - and not just among the Rangers fans. There were divisions in the boardroom and in the dressing room at the idea..."

As for

A recent television program from BBC Scotland called, "That Was The Team That Was", featured
Aberdeen F.C. and Alex Ferguson. There was a reference to Alex Ferguson turning down an invitation by Rangers to come and manage them in (I think) 1982. The program's voice-over stated that Ferguson had been

I have quoted
Rangers' manager and captain on the subject, yet you still think you know better. If anyone wants to know the truth about this, they are free to read Souness' own words in any library, rather than relying on you to interpret for them. Souness refers to it as 'this ridiculous ban' - why
1127:
A few slight problems with this anti-Rangers diatribe coming from a Celtic fan that is trying to show
Rangers in a bad light for supposedly having a Sectarian signing policy which Graeme Souness broke with the signing of Maurice Johnston in 1989. Firstly we can completely discount anything that was
1105:
If you have a reputable source which can somehow prove the non-existence of such a policy, please cite it. However, it is clear from
Souness' own writing that he knew there was such a ban in place, that he had pledged to end this policy when he became manager, and that after David Murray bought the

I respect this criteria, but I don't agree. Suppose a player scores decisive goals in the first rounds of a competition and then is not included in the squad for the final. He doesn't receive the medal, but has been decisive for the success of his team. He should be regarded as winner, evenf if he
1210:
You say we can discount anything written by
Butcher because he was 'only' a Rangers player - why? As club captain he was clearly very close to Souness, very close to the situation and, as is clear in his writing, knew the importance of the Johnston signing. If you have credentials which make you a
1194:
Several points here. How on earth do you 'know' if I am a Celtic fan or not? What difference would it make if I were? Either my contribution is accurate or it isn't. Clearly many fans of various football clubs (or rugby clubs, cricket clubs, bands, movie stars...) don't know what they are talking
1237:
I am not claiming Rangers never employed Catholics before Johnston. It is well-known that they did in many cases, Spencer being one, but it is also clear they had a general policy of not signing Catholic players (hence Johnston being referred to as 'Rangers' first high-profile Catholic player in
1233:
When he became manager in 1986, Souness stated publicly that he wanted to sign the best players for Rangers, irrespective of their backgrounds. He has since said, in books and TV interviews, that he was determined that he would be able to sign Catholic players if they were good enough, as he was
1131:
Now we have to look at all the content that you have provided from Souness's biography the only content that suggests that there was a ban on Catholics playing for Rangers is this line that you have quoted: ""...if we had not had the courage to sign Maurice who knows how long that ridiculous ban
1347:
I added and cited a reference to Souness' boyhood support of Rangers, which is well documented in print and from the man's own mouth. He used to go to Ibrox to watch Rangers as a boy as well as to Tyncastle to watch Hearts, and indeed still occasionally takes a place in the directors box. Can't
1278:
I would tend to conclude from this incident that, while Graeme Souness's signing of Mo Johnston may have been first time that Rangers made a high-profile Roman Catholic signing, the familiar tale of Souey heroically overturning the 'no Catholics' policy in the face of determined opposition from
1135:
This would suggest that there was an internal ban at Rangers on signing Catholics that Souness ended. However there is a flaw in this theory of cataclysmic proportions. What if there was a Roman Catholic player on the books at Rangers when Souness became the manager? John Spencer signed by Jock
1202:
Obviously being a fan of one club doesn't stop someone being critical of that club for some of its actions - many Celtic fans, for instance, were highly critical of the Celtic management during the late 1980's and 90's, many Manchester United fans were passionately opposed to Malcolm Glazer's
1256:
I deleted the sentence in the intro, "He is currently in a dispute with Sky as they claim 'his comments were not worthy of his fee'". I can't find any evidence that this has ever been the case. As of March 2007, Souness continues to be a Sky pundit, usually on Champions League coverage.
1206:
Second, this isn't anti-Rangers, or a diatribe, simply a reasoned attempt to explain the context of Souness' action (using his own words), and why it was such a controversial issue among Rangers fans at the time. How is me praising one of Rangers' managers an anti-Rangers diatribe??
1203:
takeover and many Rangers fans were critical of their own club's stance on Catholics and therefore pleased when Johnston was signed. This is an encyclopedia, not a fans' site. By all means create your own site elsewhere and disseminate whatever version of history you want.

1100:"At the time, it was a very strong principle that Rangers did not sign Catholics, but Graeme Souness was no fool and particularly anxious to break the mould ... He had played in Italy and Liverpool and knew the only way to be successful was to encompass everyone."
1295:
Why does the honours section as both player and manager, not show his accomplishments with Rangers? probably the most successful time of his career, and all that is shown here is the English stuff!! was it perhaps an English man that made this page?!
1067:
Souness has publicly stated that he was determined to end Rangers' policy of not signing Catholic players, particularly as his wife was Catholic, and has written that with this in mind he tried to sign Ray Houghton and John Collins before Johnston.
1668:
1088:(Mainstream, 1989; pp 7-23). He says that whoever follows him as Rangers' manager won't have to "face up to the particular problem of religious discrimination which bedevilled my first three years at Ibrox. That is now a thing of the past."
1128:
written by Butcher, as Butcher was only a player at Ibrox at the time we can safely assume that if Rangers did have an official policy of not signing Catholic players Butcher was not privy to any official paperwork detailing this policy.
1036:"That summer, Souness was selected by Ally McLeod for Scotland's squad for the World Cup in Argentina. He had only won six caps by this stage and injury robbed of him of a place in Scotland's first two group games against Peru and Iran"
1039:
I was under the impression that it was McLeod's decision not to play Souness, and rely instead on the established midfield of Don Masson and Bruce Rioch, rather than any injury to the then Liverpool player. Can anyone verify? (user:

Moreover, any policy of this sort is obviously most likely to have been an unwritten one, as any record of it would be obviously damning. Souness himself refers to it as such in the quote I used above - "Now we have shown that this

Both autobiographies contain lengthy sections on this time, and are unambiguous about the reality of Rangers' policy. I tried to include a good sample of it but you are free to read it all - both books are very clear.

Wallace was at Rangers when Souness arrived and was a Roman Catholic. Therefore if there was ever a ban on Roman Catholics playing at Rangers it did not exist in 1985 when Spencer signed from St. Ninians school. --
