Catholics who have played for Rangers
From ARFOPEDIA
Rangers, whose fans identified as Protestants and Unionists, had a policy of discriminating against Catholics for most of its history, and this practice continued until the signing of Maurice Johnston in 1989. The signing of Johnston outraged sections of the Rangers support, who protested by burning their scarves and season tickets. The controversy has died down and a number of players from Catholic backgrounds have played for Rangers.
This list includes people who are either practising, converted, lapsed or of Catholic background.
