McLean was compared unfavourably with his illustrious outside right predecessors in his early days until we ignorant spectators worked out what he was doing. It's relative. McLean didn't get the headlines at Rangers. It was more about Greig, Stein, Johnston, Johnstone, Jardine, Parlane, etc. He stood out more at Kilmarnock, where he won his Scotland caps and was part of a provincial title winning side. Russell arrived with Cooper and a free goal scoring Gordon Smith. He played alongside an even more prolific Derek Johnstone. The singing was about these players, not Bobby Russell. Appreciated, but relatively unsung. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of heroic, if we stretch the term. My mind immediately turns to their left back, Mark Wilson. Cousin just ignored the challenge as an irrelevance on his way through to score the first in a 2-4 win. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson tried to pull Cousin’s jersey but he just dragged him along at his back as if he wasn’t there until he let go & went on to score 😂 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tav will be 33 soon. Jardine won Scottish Player of the year when he was 38. Edited Saturday at 13:11 by buster. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSocksRedTops 3,703 Posted Saturday at 13:13 Share Posted Saturday at 13:13 One unsung hero for me was Kevin Drinkell. Gutted he only stayed for 1 season. He was a tireless worker and did a lot of heavy lifting and spadework for McCoist that season. He never gave up and always put in 100%. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
