GOAT 30,449 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Just following up on another thread, what a player he was for us. But he doesn't seem to get the praise the likes of Numan got for us. Also, how did he only manage to get capped three times for Scotland?

TheCutch 4,340 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 My favourite Rangers left back in my time. Had an almost telepathic understanding with Laudrup at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 He was immense. I still don't understand how he only got 3 caps for Scotland. Crazy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacecowboy 92 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 had sticky fingers in the dressing room due to an outrageous gambling habit, stealing from players and the like. once he was found out he barely got mention at Ibrox again. The Gaffer made sure he didn't kick another ball for rangers when he tried to deny the help the club where offering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacecowboy 92 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 on another note, will never forget the night he got sent packing for halving Joe Miller and we beat them 1-0 in 1992, it was pissing down that night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude 20,026 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Personally I thought he was over rated. Can't remember what happened at Leeds but it didn't go particularly well down there for him iirc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gaffer made sure he didn't kick another ball for rangers when he tried to deny the help the club where offering.I've honestly never heard this before. I thought there was a falling out between him and Craig Brown or maybe even Andy Roxburgh to suggest why he'd not been selected for Scotland but I've just read an article where Robertson is pleading to be picked for France 98.I Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,524 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Very good fullback, fast as fuck. Not in the same league as Numan though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Speed merchant with a dodgy final ball. He was a solid player for us, nowhere near Numan though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
don logan 8,023 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 My favourite Rangers left back in my time.

He was consistently phenomenal.Remind me, who was keeping him out of the Scotland team? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieD 18,732 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I rated him highly but I think his fortunes dipped so badly after us that his lack of caps was inevitable.That doesn't explain his lack of caps up to the age of 29, really.

However, widespread opinion in the game was that he was weak defensively. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
