Andrew Little on loan

[Tosh]

Rangers to Port Vale

Would this be the first time the two clubs have interacted in transfers, albeit a loan? I can't remember any other occasion!

Looks a decent player... Shame he's only on loan until Friday !

[tisdeano]

He seems keen enough

 

"Just signed for Port Vale. Really looking forward to it. Back in the flat now, pack some clothes + get down the road! 4/5 half hours do it?!

Greg Halford is another player who played RB and Up Front the only other guy i can remember

Tosh,

 

According to the OVF player database, there have been at least two...

 

William Aitken was signed from Glasgow Rangers in 1919 (you may remember it from your childhood). Bill McCartney was the second signing, he moved from Glasgow Rangers to Vale in 1966.

Oh yes, I remember them now!:huh::D

[Richard...]

Now I didn't expect THAT! So Haldane gets injured and we manage to bring in a player of Andy's calbre?! Trust me, I've seen this lad play a few times and he's a real gem, he'll certainly cut it in this league!

Billy McCartney!

 

The first Mrs Tone had the hots for him. I remember he lived in Stanfields like a lot of the lads back in those days.

Sounds like a quality signing.

 

It would be interesting to know who scouted him or is he with an agent that already works with the Vale perhaps?

 

I just get so used to us signing Bristol reserves that this is a definite plus.

[For Us All]

It is. He actually made his Rangers debut in an Old Firm game at Ibrox playing right back but got injured early on. The next time I saw him, he was playing up front and scored a last minute equaliser against Hearts.

 

I personally think he's a better forward than he is defender.

 

He's had trouble with injuries though, something to do with his hips.

 

Thanks for the info Utch.

I remember Bill McCartney he did not play much, although I think he scored the winner away in a 1-0 win at Peterborough that was shown on Anglia TV. However, Midlands did not bother to show any of it locally. For those of the modern era, try to imagine a world without any live TV football at all apart from the FA Cup Final, World Cup and European Cup finals. No internet, no mobiles, to actually see Vale on the TV was so rare so to know we were on and none of it shown locally really really hurt

His contract runs out in the Summer of 2012 as well so, if things go well, he may well sign permanently.
