Gordon McQueen says he hopes James McCarthy and Aiden McGeady get a ‘horrible reception’ at Parkhead

The former international doesn't mince his words...

Hayley McQueen's dad Gordon has just ensured he is definitely not on the FAI's Christmas card list today. The former Manchester United and Scotland star has had his say on one of the talking points ahead of Ireland's massive clash with Scotland on Friday night; the return of Scots born Irish players James McCarthy and Aiden McGeady to Glasgow and he is very trenchant in his views. He told the Daily Record: “I hope they get a horrible reception because they deserve it. I’ve got no time for these players. “You’re born in Glasgow but then you go and play for somebody else? What’s that all about? I’m not having that at all. I hope it’s hard for them coming back here with Ireland. “I’m sure somebody must have asked them to play for Scotland at some stage. You’re either Scottish or you’re not Scottish and you should know that by the time you’re 12 years of age. “I played alongside Bob Wilson and Bruce Rioch, who were born in England but they always considered themselves Scottish. That’s all I want. “If you feel Scottish you’re Scottish but I hate these guys who think, ‘I can’t get a game for England so I’ll play for Scotland’.” Pin this up in the dressing room Martin, get the boys even more fired up
