Anyone else heard Andy Halliday coming back to Rangers to be helping out Jim McCallister and being the man between the players and the coaches, driving Rangers into all the players, having the all as one having a laugh and banter becoming one big unit of a team, I like this move if it's true,
12 Jul 2026 12:36:35
Birthday card pish.
12 Jul 2026 12:39:28
Terrible idea. Any team I've played in, when you're continually surrounded by old boys reminding you of the glory days, doesn't help. Respect for those that have come before, share a war story over beer or a coffee, but move over and let the new crop carve a path to greatness.
12 Jul 2026 12:51:25
Halliday as Assistant Kit Man, that's an interesting career progression for him. I would think, though, if we wanted to have an ex player to come back and remind the new players of the glory days, we could find an ex player who actually took part in the glory days. Though signings so far are a bit reminiscent of the Warburton era, to be fair.
12 Jul 2026 12:53:24
I can't remember too many glory days when Andy Halliday was at Rangers.
12 Jul 2026 12:55:25
This is just not true.
12 Jul 2026 12:58:37
Need someone to put out cones and fill the water bottles.
12 Jul 2026 13:08:14
Burt, 🤣 I think you'll find it's Birthday Caird Pish.
12 Jul 2026 13:32:58
Will Andy tell them how he was a complete failure at Rangers who never won anything?
Andy Halliday couldn't even get off the bench most weeks. The only reason people spoke about him then, and speak about him now, is because he is a Rangers fan. Hire a season ticket holder to be assistant kitman.
12 Jul 2026 13:36:47
Nonsense.
Halliday wants a coaching career. He'd never go into being a kit man.
His academy is doing very well too.
12 Jul 2026 13:54:28
What would happen with David McGregor? McAllister brought him in first time around.
12 Jul 2026 13:59:16
Why are people making it about glory days when poster didn't say anything about that.
And Halliday wasn't exactly glory days anyway, but he still knows what it means to play for our club.
My only gripe is him pandering to Celtic supporting hosts on football show he does.
12 Jul 2026 14:03:29
Pretty sure Halliday is a promising coach naw?
12 Jul 2026 14:07:46
I don't think he panders to them. I think he agrees at times with some of their criticism towards our Club. No different to the 100's on here over the last decade who've rightly rinsed The Club, Chairman, Directors, Managers, Coaches and Players.
Do you get extra staunch points for disagreeing with them even if they have a valid point? I'm not a fan of them, especially Slane, but on numerous occasions I've found myself agreeing with them. Burny fire for me. 😂
12 Jul 2026 14:18:11
He's set up his own coaching business.
12 Jul 2026 14:40:04
RWC, that is a terrible take, and I wasn't his biggest fan as a player.
12 Jul 2026 15:00:14
It's not a terrible take, Storm. It's entirely accurate.
Andy Halliday has never been anything more than an average footballer. Great in the Scottish Championship or at a lower league SPFL team. He should never have played for Rangers because he's never had the ability. He won nothing at Rangers. He's never won anything for that matter, and is a serial loser.
While at Rangers, people constantly spoke about the legend of Halliday, the big Rangers man. How he was born on the Copland Road. How he should get the captain's armband because 'he gets it'. Didn't seem to matter that Halliday wasn't good enough to start most weeks, people wanted him captain.
Halliday played a number of positions and was never great at any of them.
He was at left-wing and people said that wasn't his best position. He was tried in midfield and people said that wasn't his best position. He was played at left-back and people said that wasn't his best position. Did anyone ever figure out what his best position even is? Or is he just average in any position?
The cup game against Celtic is what ended Halliday. The guy was rank, subbed at half-time, and the Celtic fans spent the rest of the match chanting his name.
His status as a Rangers fan has gotten him very far in life. I doubt he would even be on the radio now if he wasn't a Rangers fan. Now people want him back at the club for the bants.
12 Jul 2026 15:11:02
Absolutely rubbish.
12 Jul 2026 15:26:55
You can tell there's a heatwave, get in the shade, my man.
12 Jul 2026 15:53:44
Struck a nerve, Storm. 😤
12 Jul 2026 16:01:05
Rohl with cheese, you're unhinged lol. Andy wasn't good enough to play for Rangers in the SPFL, but he was signed in the Championship. He did a job there, and then left when his deal ran out. He never gave less than 100%, so I don't see why you would want to give an ex Rangers player and someone who loves the club such vitriolic abuse. 🤣
The og post is clearly untrue as well.
He's doing great in life with media and 121 coaching, so why would he come back as assistant kit man. 🤣 Pure needless abuse of one of your own, and it's the usual with you. You act like you're this uber staunch guy with the highest standards, and everyone else around you isn't as staunch as you; it's utterly pathetic.
12 Jul 2026 16:09:32
I also said Andy Halliday was a Championship level player that wasn't good enough to play for Rangers, Wishy. We seem to be in agreement. So does this mean that you are also guilty of giving Andy Halliday "vitriolic abuse"?
Was anything I said inaccurate?
Also, I don't get this whole 'you think you're staunch and everyone else isn't' rubbish.
This is an anonymous internet forum. Nobody knows me, let alone thinks I'm seriously "staunch". Plus, I don't know any of you. Your levels of support do not concern me. It seems my comments, or home truths about Andy Halliday, have hit a nerve with you. Are you throwing a temper tantrum?
12 Jul 2026 16:16:33
I just find it needless. Why would you want to talk of one of your own with such disdain? You do it all the time.
12 Jul 2026 16:35:08
It does seem like you rarely have positive thoughts about the Gers, RWC.
Halliday lived the dream of playing for the team he loved, I agree he wasn't great as a Rangers player, but I respect his efforts and his love for our club.
I don't see the value in simply miscalling one of our own. Let's leave that to others.
12 Jul 2026 16:43:12
What did I say that was inaccurate, Wishy?
Also, being a Rangers fan doesn't make someone above criticism.
12 Jul 2026 16:44:42
So you basically agree with me too, Calsideloyal.
You're just another one that thinks Andy Halliday shouldn't be subjected to criticism. Why?
12 Jul 2026 17:07:19
Maybe we will find his "best position" is assistant kit man.
12 Jul 2026 17:11:46
Why does he need to be criticised? He left us half a decade ago. What good are you getting from slaughtering the guy on here? He knows himself he wasn't at the required level to play for us. Why do you need to slaughter him for it?
12 Jul 2026 17:35:11
You have accused me of giving Andy Halliday "vitriolic abuse". Now, I'm guilty of "slaughtering" the man. You're the king of hyperbolic nonsense, Wishy.
Now, can you tell me if anything I said was inaccurate?
12 Jul 2026 17:43:40
Why is it a problem criticising Halliday? He has spent the last couple of years criticising Rangers players and managers and bad mouthing some of his former team mates, in fact you could say he has made a career out of it. So, if you acknowledge that he has the right to do that then Rangers fans who can remember how bad he was have a right to say so. He does get away with, and got away with, a lot because he's a "Rangers man". Just hope the likes of McCrorie and Shankland, who are getting welcomed with open arms for the same reason, turn out to be better than Halliday ever was.
12 Jul 2026 17:58:23
He's in the media being paid to give his opinion on the current goings on of the club. We have all criticised the players who have played for us, as it hasn't been good enough.
But, once they leave, I don't spend my days slaughtering them on here. I also probably criticised Halliday when he played for us, but he left years ago and I can appreciate the fact he always gave his all, so I won't sit and power him will I?
I don't see Danny Wilson or Jason Holt or any other player from that time frame getting anywhere near the slaggings Andy gets. It's weird, and Rangers fans do it all the time slag fans of the club who played for us.
12 Jul 2026 18:07:12
Pointless discussion with someone that thinks shouting for a corner or throw in is cheating. 😳
