GovanAllan 0 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Brilliant! How did I forget him? Feeks sakes. This is going to have to be era speicifc now. 28 is a non starter.... You do know your on a hiding to nothing here mate. Get a group of Gers fans in a Pub and tell them to pick their best 11 and watch the fireworks start. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 6,002 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I'm an old guy but older guys used to tell me that even older guys told them greatest ever was "Jimmy Gordon o' the Rangers". Never just "Jimmy Gordon" or "Gordon" or "Jimmy", always the full title. They also said Neilly Gibson was the second greatest. In my own opinion you can't leave out Ian McColl, Willie Woodburn and Sammy Cox. They would train up to modern standards no bother. Skills and attitude well ahead of today's British players. I wouldn't have Tommy McLean. Ian McMillan shoud be in. So should Alec Scott. Hellish difficult to keep it down to 28. So many heroes. Big Harrold, Bobby Shearer, Ralpie Brand. (No Sammy Baird, though) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree regarding Tommy McLean though. 300 games, 3 league titles and a key figure in the ECWC win 72 and two trebles 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man of the moment Harold Davis must be in with a shout as well. Having just read his book, just to come back from Korea in the state he did and live a normal life would've been a great achievement. Never mind go on to play football at the top level for Rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Rebo's Big Blue Nose 0 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Think you might need to think about decade specific. Or maybe era specific? Struth years, 9-in-a-row, Scott Symons 60's team, Jock Wallace's treble teams, etc. This small project could turn into my own personal Ben Hur... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
