# Glasgow Rangers: Craig Conway reveals he almost joined Gers in 2011

**Craig Conway has revealed he almost signed for Glasgow Rangers in 2011 before the Gers encountered their financial issues.**

Conway has recently signed for St. Johnstone, and actually faced the Gers on Wednesday – the Ibrox outfit prevailed 3-0. However, it seems that he could have appeared for the 54-time Scottish champions all the way back in 2011 before he eventually moved to Cardiff City instead.

[Speaking to The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5919205/craig-conway-rangers-transfer/), he said:

*“I went and met Ally McCoist at Murray Park.* *I was pretty close to signing but I had my heart set on going down south. That was always the aim.*

*“Ally is a legend and a great guy. I remember sitting having tea and toast with him. He’s a real character.*

*“I was genuinely close to signing.* *It was before they had their financial issues. It was to play in the top flight.*

*“I think it was about six months later that things started to go wrong there.*

*“I backed myself to go down south and I loved every minute of it so I’ve no regrets.”*

Conway might not be the biggest name, but he has had a solid career in the game. All in all, he has made [454](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/craig-conway/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/14574) appearances, racking up 45 goals and a very impressive 93 assists, whilst he was also in the squad for Cardiff City in 2011/12 League Cup final against Liverpool.

For Conway, given the issues the Gers had – they [went into administration](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-17026172) in 2012 – he probably made the right decision.
