thehost 11,061 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Thought it was a nice touch that he got a welcome round of applause when he came on. I'm sure he would have been delighted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle 53,493 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Agree! And after halftime when he was heading back up the tunnel just as our team were coming out he went straight to Wallace and shook his hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Persson 545 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 It was a nice touch. It helped that we were up in the game? Â Same applause if we were down 2-0? or if he scored against us? Â Not on yer life! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eosmhdo 1,879 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Scored goals for us but dont like him, never have. Â Used to argue on the away bus about him all the time but he is an arrogant knob imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 How many goals did he score for Rangers that season we failed to get promotion? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanjo 26,321 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 His goals were massive for us. He flopped the second time around but I have respect for him for dropping a division for us. Delighted he got an applause. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CF2 WINNIE 1,006 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 He was a flop second time round but I have to say I think that's because he was allowed to be a flop by management and their attitudes, Scored some very important goals for Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother in law who is a tim, has also met him, and had nothing but nice things to say about him. Met Nacho at the same time and have little to no time for him, he was a bit knobish.

NixonRFC 1,305 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 We like every other set of fans can be a respectable bunch if the recipient of said respect has no danger of hurting us  If the game was 0-0 he'd have got pelters Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLui 40 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Never understood the hero status he had/still has with some of our support. Any player who cant maintain a good level of fitness playing for the team he supports tells me more about him than any sound bite coming out his mouth. Have a think compared to our other Hero strikers how many really important goals did he score compared to them e.g. only goal in a 1-0 against them/winning goals in cup finals/goals in Europe. Sums it up for me really... Didn't cheer when he came on and still don't understand why people did! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I love him purely for those 5 goals vs DUTD, smashing the martians record and sticking his tongue out as the ultimate get it right up you celebration  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,260 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I actually really like the way Boyd conducts himself off the park in regards to us. I thought he was a great player for us. Any chance in the box Boyd puts it away. Said as much at Killie away as soon as he was in the box wae that ball it was hitting the back of the net. SPL all time top scorer and he's probably one of the best strikers we've had in recent times Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah can't think of any reason why young Rangers fans would love their top goalscorer growing up, you know, the SPL's all time top scorer who played and scored a shit load of goals for Rangers... He was kinda the 90s kids Ally McCoist, someone on the pitch who you knew would score given the chance Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I remember more that he had to be subbed at half time in the following year's because he looked as if he was about to burst! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate seriously? Dropped a division and was a lazy bastard, put weight on to the point he struggled at that level.  Respect? Exactly what he lacks.

Vanoli 4,623 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Love the big man. Walter never fancied him on the big occasions, so fans can be forgiven for not really associating him with season defining moments - but that guy is responsible for a good few of our clubs 114 trophies. Bare that in mind before slating the guy in here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertz 78 918 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Good to see the Rangers support give the lad a round of applause for all he did in his first spell at the club when he came on even though he was playing against us yesterday. Same goes for Coisty when he played against us as well back in the 90s. Unlike the manky mob who booed the feck out of Larsson when he played against them for Barca and sang songs about how Bobo would snap him in half etc. It's clear to see the difference in class between the two sets of fans.

ZZed 4,510 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 He is one of us. Scored lots of goals for us, admitted he was not good enough second time round and has never slagged us or even said a bad word about us I was always unsure about him but some respect is due.

The day against Dundee Utd in the league cup final in 2008  he also had a decent season in Europe for us under le guen in the uefa cup aswell  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
