WadeWilson 4,670 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I reckon Antti Niemi could definitely have given Klos, Woods and McGregor a run for their money in the pecking order for second / third / fourth best ever keeper at Rangers. There's only one number one. Don't anyone try and tell me he's Finnished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell us what he was though, rather than telling us what he wasn't. Let's be positive here. Waterreus was not better than Klos. i'll give you that starter for 10, ya wee scamp. 1 - Goram 2 - Klos 3 - Woods versus 1 - Dibble 2 - Waterreus 3 - Myhre Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kris1984 1,259 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I was about 12/13 and thought we'd just always spend and have players like that. Amazing times, just wish I appreciated a bit more. I mind cunts giving players like Kanchelskis a hard time for being shite... would rip current league to shreds Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To top it off, after barely getting a game with us, Christiansen went back to Denmark where he won Keeper of The Year a few times and was generally a solid keeper. Wouldn't have guessed that from his bomb scars performances with us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellshill_Bear 1,105 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Hard to believe klos was the cheapest. If we were to buy those players in today's market your looking at closer to 100mil Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 £36 million over two summers...... I wish someone would spend £18 million this summer just on the first team, because that's what we need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I remember watching Numan playing for Holland in the world cup - he had already committed to coming to us as I recall - and I didnt think anything of the fact that a dutch international full back representing his team in the world cup, was coming to us.

The good old days! If you could only take three for the current team who would you take? 1. Arthur Numan - unbelievably solid full back who knew what it was to be a Ranger the moment he stepped through the door and was class on and off the pitch. 2. GVB - I was young at the time but I remember him being absolutely effortless, technically brilliant, great eye for a pass and had a lethal strike on him. Went onto win the champions league. 3. As much as it pains me to leave out Stefan Klos who the biggest compliment I could pay to him is that he's best we've had since Gorman, I'd have to go with Neil McCann for my third. Gave us some of our best moments including that final goal the day he skipped round the Keeper at the piggery when we won the league, goosebumps. Put the cross in for Lovenkrands in the cup final and just generally was a great little winger for us. Always wanted the ball and tried to make things happen is possession, didn't come to us as a Ranger but we certainly left our mark on him. Who's Gorman?
