With regards to yesterdays posts about Orjan Persson my first memory of a funny named player for Rangers was Kai Johanson, remember i was 4 years old at the time hence thinking it was a funny name before the woke brigade criticise me - anyone else remember Kai who unfortunately passed away from cancer in 2007 i think.

Don't remember him playing as I was just starting primary school.
We did call our beautiful labrador spaniel mix puppy Kai.

Gregory if you thought Kai Johanson was a "funny" name what would you have thought of Don Kitchenbrand.

Funny that jfm, we called the wifes chihuahua Kai as well.
A talking point when folk asked where we got the name from.

Bluetoon i was born in 1965 and as Don played in the 50s by the time i had heard the stories of the Rhino and read up on our great club i was more aware of the different names as I was older - i believe the Rhino may have been the first catholic to play for Rangers? As I said previously i was 4/ 5 years old and didn't quite understand how we had a player called KAI and i didn't know anyone with that name - indeed having grew up in East Belfast we knew KAI as something other than a christian name - even at that age in 1969/ 1970 ???.

Ha ha mark too right better ask blutoon why he put the funny in inverted commas replying to my completely innocent and honest post - a long cylindrical object springs to mind!

Gregory Johnny Hubbard may have been the 1st Catholic to have signed for Rangers. Not sure who signed first but I am sure they were both Catholic and South African
On your other point, nothing derogatory meant to you by the inverted commas.

Catholics played for rangers from the beginning, the thing is when celtic were founded they took all our catholic players as they were a fully catholic team.
