I felt sorry for Rangers and Celtic when I heard what Nathan Patterson said about his Everton welcome - Hugh Keevins

dailyrecord.co.uk:

It was something Nathan Patterson said to Everton TV on the day he arrived at Goodison Park that made me feel sorry for Rangers.

And Celtic. It wasn’t the bit about it having been an “easy” decision to make, concerning a move to the “biggest league in the world”.Or the stuff for social media consumption about having joined Rangers as a boy and left the club as a man.All of that is PR spin able to be paraphrased as: “It’s been nice knowing you but I’ve got better places to be.”Steven Gerrard was the same.He came.

He saw. He bolted as soon as he got a better offer from England. No, the bit that saddened me on the Old Firm’s behalf was Nathan’s account of meeting Everton stalwart Seamus Coleman.
