compo 7,030 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Right he is going and as a manager the record books may show two titles but on the whole in my opinion he has been a dud totally inept when it comes to tactics if he ever had any . But what about him as a player he went to England never happened maybe to young well never know because he came to rangers had a sticky start but was luck to be in at the start of the souness revolution were he played at the top end of a very good team he was very fortunate to be playing in front of some great half backs , good wingers giving him first class service and I am not knocking him in this aspect but I often wonder how many goals lets say jimmy millar , jim forrest , ralph brand or even big dandy would have scored playing in front of the souness/smith players . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCoist was a class striker. I don't think we should even be debating this. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 6,002 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 You could argue that the great Jimmy Millar and the lethal Ralphie Brand had even better back-up than McCoist. If I had played in front of Baxter and McMillan and between Henderson and Wilson I might have scored a few. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgacus 8 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 McCoist was scoring goals before Souness arrived 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,562 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 McCoist was an excellent striker who I'd say Souness improved by bringing in competition. The only reason he didn't move elsewhere was he clearly loved our club so much and we were a (reasonably) big UK force at that time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) McCoist was a class striker. I don't think we should even be debating this. Was there ever any real interest from teams bigger than Rangers? He had one good season in European football but i don't recall him running riot against top quality opposition. My old mans pal used to always say he was a poor footballer who needed too many chances to stick one away. As a kid, i thought he was magic, i just seen his goals and thought he was great,. He was my hero. Edited December 15, 2014 by Super Cooper 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) allys greatest secret was how good a footballer he was. he played midfield and played well more than once. as for bigger clubs there were very few. for example we were able to attract gazza when ally was almost 33.

Where we rebuffing interest and offers annually Frankie? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
