Celtic icon John Hartson has claimed Rangers attempted to sign him AFTER he had played for their city rivals.
Back in 2000 the Welshman famously agreed terms to sign for The Light Blues in a £6.5million deal from Wimbledon. But the deal would collapse due to issues with Hartson’s medical with knee issues flagging up at Ibrox, before he joined Coventry City in the English Premier League. After City were relegated from the top flight, Martin O’Neill took a chance on Hartson and brought him to Celtic.
He would go on to form a formidable partnership with Henrik Larsson during his five years in Glasgow's east end, and saw off Rangers to lift three Scottish league titles ahead of their Old Firm foes. However, Hartson has now sensationally claimed he turned down David Murray's offer of a return to Scotland as he was looking for a move away from West Brom.
