Bill 13,717 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 It shows the benefit of age when you see the likes of Craig Moore, Ian Ferguson, Barry Ferguson, Craig Moore, Mark Hately, Michael Mols, Arthur Numan, etc occupying places in the All Time Rangers Team. All good players certainly, all made big contributions in successful sides but mostly not up to the calibre of some of their predecessors. Players I'd like to have picked but ran out of places for include Tommy McLean, the best crosser of a ball I ever saw. Derek Johnstone, a magnificent header of the ball Alex McDonald, classic box to box midfield dynamo Dave Smith, perhaps the most cultured left foot of his generation Willie Johnston, direct and committed winger Davie Cooper, it's all been said before Jorg Albertz, Mr Freekicks 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 6,004 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Goram Jardine, Amoruso, McKinnon, Caldow (Capt) Greig Gazza, Baxter Laudrup, Johnstone, McCoist. Bill is right. The immaculate Eric Caldow was world class. I’ve had different elevens in the past. No doubt a different one tomorrow.

Davie Wilson, Willie Johnston, Tommy McLean, Davie Cooper, Brian Laudrup, Andrei Kanchelskis ... stiff competition but I still think Willie Henderson in his pomp was definitely the best winger I've seen, often unplayable. Only Laudrup might challenge him from the years I've seen. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Alex Scott to that illustrious list. Cant believe Scott slipped my mind. I keep doing that, I'd need a complete list to work from. It's been a real memory jogger just trying to construct a team out of all the old names. Unlike the wet-behind-the-ears mob, we have a few more to consider ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeper - We have been blessed with keepers so this is tough and harsh. Ally Maxwell - 1994 Cup Final. Bollan An underrated XI could also be done. Ian Ferguson. Durie. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
