    I work with a lot of 'staunch' Rangers fans and I spoke to a few of them yesterday and told them the news.

    I saw him play a few times myself but these lads to go every game and have done so for many moons...He was and still is very well thought of up here and there is genuine good feeling that he's came to our Club!!

    Be prepared for the odd 'Jock ' accent among the Tigers faithful,especially at accessible away games.When McGregor,Aluko et al were at the Club there were a fair few came down to support,fair chance of that happening again.

    Why is that? I've seen a few people on Twitter getting excited about their results and stuff. Always just seemed weird to me but maybe there's a good reason? It's not a goddy or political thing is it?

    We have a statue of King Billy. Maybe that’s it.

    I could never support Celtic.
    I could support Rangers.
    Hull is very much seen as a Protestant city.
    William of Orange is significant.

    Whilst politics and religion are banned on here, I don’t think it is right to post much more on the subject only to say that thankfully the religious divide at those clubs is not reflected generally in Hull.

    Totally agree with you. Its the rugby league 'community' to which I refer. There is deep hatred of football and Hull City in this area from a small group of them. It goes back to the mid 70's, which is when I first realised that not everyone in Hull 'supports' our three professional clubs, or even the two sports. The animosity came in when Hull Fc rebranded themselves as Hull's Premier Club and it has simmered away in the back ground ever since. You must have heard Hull referred to as a rugby town ? Have you ever heard it referred to in the local media as a football city ?
    Its an old argument that some say doesn't exist, but it does and our new manager is obviously unaware of this therefore his comments that football in the culture of the people of Hull will, given time, stoke the hornets nest.

    Pfft, I bet you wonder what everyone is celebrating every 4th of December too.

    Hull was a puritan/protestant/parliament stronghold during the English Civil War which started with us closing the gates to King Charles. Struggles between royalists and parliament and Protestants and Catholics continued to the end of the century. In 1688 there was another rebellion against King Charles son King James called the Glorious Revolution in which William of Orange took the crown from James II. Hull being a staunchly Protestant town the people took the town from the Catholic Governor in support of King Billy which was celebrated for years afterwards as Town Taking Day and the King Billy statue erected. Hull's strong links with Protestant Holland played a part and the Dutch Prince of Orange was hailed as 'our great deliverer' which is written on the plinth.

    Just thinking about our ex-Rangers strikers, between Hateley and Aluko we also had Daniel Cousin, the one who scored the famous goal that beat Arsenal, did he play with Shota at Rangers?

    I was in The Olde White Hart and told a visitor to Hull that the English civil war started up stairs. She asked what happened. I said some bloke accused the king of spilling his pint.

    Interesting stuff. It doesn't make me want to have an allegiance in the modern day Glasgow football rivalry, but each to their own.

    I remember they were initially rumours that we were signing McCoist and Durrant.

    Still not to complain, we ended up with McGinty and Boyack (?)
