Talk:1989 in Scotland

Query re Mo Johnston claim
The claim that "10 July – Mo Johnston becomes the first Roman Catholic player to sign for Rangers F.C." is possibly problematic. I have heard this claim before, but the opening of Mo Johnston's own article states merely that he was the "first open Catholic to play for Rangers since World War I" and later in the article that is qualified even further to "He was the highest-profile Catholic to sign for the club since the World War I era, though other Catholics had signed for Rangers before." Rangers F.C. signing policy states that there were pre-WW1 Catholic players. It should also be noted Don Kitchenbrand was a Roman Catholic playing for Rangers in the 1950s, but his faith was concealed. Also John Spencer was on Rangers' books at the time Johnston signed, having come through the youth system at the club. Dunarc (talk) 23:52, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
