Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers sold Michael O’Halloran last summer.
When Michael O’Halloran left Rangers in June, it’s probably fair to say that most fans of the Ibrox club didn’t wish him well.
Rangers fans will respect anybody who plays for their club, unless of course that person goes to a Scottish Cup final and sits with the Celtic support, which O’Halloran did.
The 27-year-old was photographed sitting with Celtic fans at Hampden Park in May in pictures which didn’t exactly go down well on the blue side of the Old Firm divide.
The Gers faithful promptly wanted him gone, before getting their wish around a month later when O’Halloran joined A-League side Melbourne City in Australia.
But it hasn’t been going well for the former St Johnstone attacker Down Under. Nope.
O’Halloran managed only 52 minutes of first-team football for City last season, and was often omitted from the matchday squad entirely.
He will have wanted to start the new A-League season with a bang, but instead he started it on the sidelines.
O’Halloran, who joined Rangers in February 2016 under Mark Warburton, suffered a hamstring injury in a pre-season friendly two weeks before the A-League curtain-raiser on October 20, ruling himself out for up to 12 weeks.
He is still waiting for his league debut for City and unless his luck and form improves in the new year, he might be waiting a while longer.
