"I remember it well, we had just announced Brendan as our new Manager and I was with our company secretary in London at the time. An agent called me saying that Joey was going to sign for Rangers but he would really prefer to come to Celtic and were we interested in signing him, but it wasn't something we wanted to pursue.
These things happen to players sometimes in football, but needless to say we wish Joey well at his new club."
