Signs are all there for Craig
CRAIG CONWAY can’t wait to strut his stuff at Ibrox tonight for St Johnstone, nine years after turning down the chance to do it for Rangers.
Ally McCoist tried to sign Conway but he opted for Cardiff City instead.
Now the winger is ready to make his St Johnstone debut against Gers.
Conway said: “I went and met Ally McCoist at Murray Park.
“Ally is a legend and a great guy. I remember sitting having tea and toast with him.
“I was pretty close to signing but I had my heart set on going down south.
“I loved every minute of it so I’ve no regrets.”
Conway’s potential debut against Aberdeen was put on hold by the virus protocol breach by Dons stars.
He said: “Saturday was out of our control and we’ve been preparing for Rangers ever since.
“It’s a great place to play. Even though there are no fans, it will still be a brilliant experience.
“It can work both ways, their fans being right behind them or against them. Not having supporters in the ground certainly doesn’t seem to be affecting Rangers badly at all.
“As a player, once you go on the pitch and have your one on one battle, everything else goes out of your head.
“You’re totally focusing on your job.”
Saints have played just one competitive fixture – a 1-1 draw with Dundee United – but Conway insists boss Davidson has them up to speed.
He said: “We’ve worked hard and the manager has prepared us well.
“They had a game on Sunday and they have had a quicker turnaround than us so you can also look at it that way.”
