  1. Lol. Not worth a 3 year contract at 28 ??? basically coming into his prime years, off the back of probably the best domestic defensive season ever, having not missed a single minute of a game. But not worth a 3 year contract ??

  2. I was fortunate to witness Gerd Muller play live on several occasions. A truly wonderful player and as Compo says, "a terrific goalscorer". The period from late 60s to early 70s saw Rangers meet Bayern half-a dozen times. The ECWC meetings are well remembered but, my lasting memory was the UEFA Cup first round meeting in September'70. The first leg had finished 1-0 in Munich, Beckenbauer netting midway through the first half. The feeling was revenge for the '67 final defeat was in our grasp. A crowd of 85,000 squeezed into Ibrox on a humid evening as Bayern ran out in their traditional red and white stripes. Feelings grew as Rangers pressed throughout, several chances created, all squandered. Ten minutes remained when a clearance from the Bayern box saw Ronnie McKinnon tussle with Muller. As they reached the eighteen yard D, Ronnie's pace told and he ran across Muller taking the ball. The Swiss Ref' blew up and signalled an indirect free kick for obstruction. Gerd placed the ball on the penalty box line, stepped back and struck a swerving shot. It rounded the wall and found the net via the inside of the post. No problem, an indirect free kick had found the net without being touched? The Ref' awarded the goal. As the controversy raged, Gerd stood with both arms outstretched. Rangers equalised straight from the restart, Colin Stein finding the net. The tie was over, we lost 2-1 on aggregate. Muller left the pitch, both arms outstretched and aloft. Behind him, the Rangers players crowded the Ref' in the centre circle. I witnessed Muller netting twice in two matches for West Germany against Scotland at Hampden. His equaliser in late '73 was special. Again, on the edge of the box he took a pass into feet, dropped a shoulder that saw Jim Holton fall in a heap and, swept the ball into the high far corner of the net. He walked away arms outstretched and aloft. The three best I have seen at Ibrox includes Muller. The other two being Cruyff(Ajax) and Kempes(Valencia).

  5. Talking about the Sheep, after Brown and Lewis posturing at the Breidablik changing room in midweek, I reckon Broonaldinho will be sprinting for the coach, getting humped out of the League Cup by naughty Raith Rovers ...

  7. Must be great to be a tabloid hack. You can print any old rubbish and an army of useful idiots will repeat it endlessly.

  8. Eight results and two scores. No wonder Gribz, the feartie, doesn’t want to play. I’m willing to step back for the rest of the season so as not to discourage folk.

  9. Aye, there are a few negative(made up lies) articles on Rangers today from the Rangers hating Scottish gutter press, pathetic rubbish, I hope none of them ever get back to Ibrox, including the corrupt BBC.

  11. He apparently scored 68 goals in 62 appearances for West Germany and 547 goals in 594 games for Bayern. Wow!! Impressive as Bayern were not the all conquring force they are now as Monchangladbach, Hamburg, Koln and others were also league winners.

  13. Easy one.Roofe. We wouldn’t have lost to Malmö & Dundee hibz if Roofe played. Roofe was badly missed. Rangers are a totally different team when Roofe is in the team

  15. Watched the B team v's Gretna, 9-1 win, Gretna keeper was sent off. Two hatricks from McKee & Weston. I've watched a lot of the highlights this season, I'm sure elfideldo has more info than me. However the players that always stand out for me are Lowry, McCann & Weston, but there are a lot of young talent in this team, Devine is another at RB.

  16. Rangers have had outstanding wingers. Wilson must be among the best, certainly the most versatile.

  19. I wouldn't say so. The majority of that team have put in exceptional performances in European competition in front of a full stadium in past seasons.
