Peter Lovenkrands tells Si Ferry about the phone call with incoming Rangers Manager, Paul Le Guen that confirmed his exit from Ibrox after 6 years at the club.
David Murray brings me up to the office and basically says to somebody is on the phone to talk to you. Um and I okay. So I’ve got the phone and he’s like how you doing blah blah blah. And he basically said to me um if you stay great if you don’t I’ll just get someone else. And I’ll never forget that sentence. It was like I’ve just scored four goals in Champions League 18 goals this season. And I’m like, “Okay, you don’t want me to stay?” Like, there’s no like that thing of like we want you to stay. We want to use you up through the middle or whatever, like whatever to try and convince you to stay. So, it was literally like hitting the stomach. I was kind of like, “Okay, this I don’t like this.” It doesn’t really sound like he wants me to stay. So, you phone call to Paul going in David M’s office. Mhm. When you come off, did you just say he’s just said that he’s not bothered? That’s what I said. He’s basically told me this and he was like, “Okay.” And I says, “Right, I need to go and think about stuff.” And then I went away. So I was like, “Okay, I’m going to go ag bit back to sign the deal.” Um, I phoned Martin Bane and I said to him on the phone, I says, “That’s man, that’s me just done the my medical at SH on my way to sign the deal. Is there anything you want to say to me?” And he was just like, “Good luck.” I went, “Okay.” And I put the phone in but nobody I didn’t even tell my wife that until you hoping that he would say stay. If you’d said I we’ll match it and we’ll we’ll offer you something here and you stay I would have went straight on the plane and flew back. But he just said, “Good luck.” And I was like, “Okay.”

Beast we miss his calibre in modern day football and if he wore a jersyey in 2025 it would be a privilidge
As a celtic fan, Lovenkrands caused us issues all the time. He was a pain
How up himself is he
Celtic supporter grew up dreading if he was in the team sheet.Destroyed us at ibrox Hampden and parkhead.Some player
Martin Bain was a charlatan and has proven to be a huge mistake to put him in any position of power.
Great interview lads. Good just to hear him talk
And thatβs why Le Guen was such a success
Rangers really are a shit show even back then
Le Guen completely screwed it all up. Lovenkrands was a great servant to the club. An Old Firm legend.
Pussy
Just shows you how many bad managers rangers have had
Your just a number in life. We all find that out at one point or another.
Martin Bain is a first class wanker..no way you were getting him to beg you mate
Mental. Those goals v Porto, Inter Milan & Villareal. He was at least an option
Martin Bain was a cretin who didn't understand football
What a feckin slayer of the East he was β¦ loved PL πππ
Awww poor wee Peter wanted his ego stroked.
Agent Le Guen was fantastic.
Shocking man
Paul le guen, the pricks prick
Scottish meets Danish
Holy feck that's some accent he has picked up after 6 years in Glasgow…but to still have it 19 years later is crazy

Celtic supporter. Man instilled fear. Mad decision to tell him to leave. Funny how Scottish he sounds though.
