The Widow's Son 399 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 He played at Ibrox in the early to mid-1980's. Reasonable player who was cleared out by Souness if I recall. Big Rangers fan and his uncle had played for the Jags. Had a younger brother (was it Alan?) who went on trial with Arsenal and ended up with Cambuslang Rangers. Does any bear know of Davie's whereabouts these days? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahrain Bear 52 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 My abiding memory of Davie McKinnon was his amazing performance against Inter Milan in the 3-1 UEFA Cup game at Ibrox in 1984. My memory tells me Cooper was dropped, but maybe he was injured. In any case, Wallace tinkered with the formation. McKinnon was playing almost as a winger with big John McLelland making rampaging runs forward. It worked a treat. Not a failure in the Rangers team that night, humbled a decent Inter team and had them rattled. Atmosphere that night was up there with the best. Liam Brady took some stick.

JCDBigBear 10,763 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It seems some of you have better memories of him than I have! Whilst I don't doubt his loyalty and effort, sadly his ability was lacking. He really wasn't good enough for Rangers although we had a fair number of players at that time who fell into the same category which is why we were in the doldrums pre-Souness.

MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 McKinnon was a committed player of limited ability - although that wasn't particularly remarkable in an era when we went nine years with no title for the second time in my life.He often pops up in conversation when players like Kenny Watson, Billy Urquhart and Cammy Fraser are subject to critical evaluation.

Copland bear 7,966 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Was limited but solid in the tackle. Played in a bad era, I think he cost something like 15k Alloa, Did he not play a season under Souness also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
