Maybe one for TT, was Robert fleck the player who got on wrong side of gangster and basically had to leave Glasgow ending his rangers career? Or was it someone else?

I'm sure it was Hateley who pumped the daughter of a well known business man who owned duck Bay marina, and had to get out of town, when the girl's dad found out.

Would i be correct in saying BMGH01,
that when hateley's rangers honours and medals were stolen from his house, was it not the gangsters who hounded him out of glasgow for allegedly mucking about with the top guys daughter, that told him he would find them at the bottom of loch lomond 🤔.

BMG, that's the story I heard and around the same time his house got tanned which all his medals got nicked.

It was big Hateley, and it was a Bishopbriggs chaps daughter who may have been a bit vulnerable by all accounts, the big guy swiftly departed and may have paid to return sometime later,

When I was a young player at Killowen bfate, I was also a p/ time night porte at the grosvenor in Glasgow, the gers team used it regularly back then, the weekend of the skol Cup final I let Robert fleck out the back lane to go to the dancing with a few possil boys, he got caught by the manager coming back in at 3am and got involved in a rigmarole, sourness, McCoy and Phil boardman came down and fkecky was sent to bed he scored in the final I think, but was almost instantly decanted down south, don't think he ever played fir Rangers again , I actually also spent the night having a laugh with wee mo and coisty the night before maurice signed fir Rangers, was also brought up with Mo, who came from Sighthill, just up the road, and my first flat was next door to him and his parents

We're the Russian Mafia after Kanchelskis at some point for gambling debts? Rings a bell.

{Ed001's Note - that was why he joined Everton, as Fergie was fed up of paying off his gambling debts and Everton agreed to pay them. After a while they got fed up with paying his debts and got rid. So it wouldn't be a surprise if he got into debt again with you as well.}

I remember that Ed001! Messing about with a Glasgow gangster's daughter is one thing, but getting into debt with the Russian mob is a whole different level. Pure Eastern Promises stuff.

That sounds about right SGL. I'm sure everything was ironed out when a well known nightclub owner, and Rangers man, intervened as a sort of intermediary and sorted everything out. A bit like the guy who squared things up for Stevie G when he was getting a bit of hassle during his Liverpool days. You remember that Ed001?

{Ed001's Note - there was a lot more to the Stevie G thing and it was not really like that. It is best not to get into that as it involves other people.}

You are correct re, James sorted the issue out, at a cost I believe.
