Allan Johnston joined the Light Blues on a free transfer from Sunderland in the summer of 2000 at the height of Advocaat’s spending.
Former Rangers star Allan Johnston has told how Dick Advocaat’s approach to his game time during his season at Ibrox left him puzzled - as the ex Scotland man opened up on dining out with Sir Alex Ferguson amid his Manchester United chance.
And, in an interview with the Scottish Mail on Sunday, the 49-year-old said: “We had a massive squad and I went from playing every week to being a squad player. On a Saturday, I wouldn't even be on the bench and then I'd play against Monaco, Galatasaray or Sturm Graz in the Champions League ? I actually have the top on my wall!
He explained of his Red Devils experience: “My older brother Sammy was really talented and used to go down there. I followed and it was amazing. Ferguson would turn up at training and you'd get asked in to meet the manager. And then he invited me out for dinner! Back then, we didn't go out to restaurants much!' he admits. And there weren't many managers doing what Alex Ferguson did.
