Especially the ones that seen Baxter Baxter goes down as one of the greats for me but similarly to Cooper he had more than his fair share of off days I’ve been told by older Bears. One of those ones where the more time that passes by, the greater the player becomes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsa 3,906 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I'd say Gazza the higher quality player, he could play in any company on his day. Laudrup a more consistent, productive Ranger for me though. Gazza had plenty of days when he was struggling for fitness or frustrated or distracted. Both great players though. Having them was the equivalent of us having Eriksen and Wilshere now, unbelievable. (Tried to think of England's best cm and Wilshere was actually the best I could come up with) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange and Blue 1,173 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Every time Laudrup received the ball everyones butts were off their seats. He was definitely my favourite Rangers player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermopylae 15,286 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 His first season especially was like dying and going to a Rangers heaven because we went up and down the country and you could see the jaws of the opposition fans hitting the ground when they realised just how high we had raised the bar . He was just the perfect signing because despite being kicked up and down the park every week wasn't injury prone Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWTC 2,247 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I remember kicking a ball about a my mates garden with Stuart Mcall just after he signed. I kept asking him about Boli, at the time he was the higher profile signing, and he said after a few training sessions that Laudrup was one of the best players he’d ever seen. Couldnt get the ball of him. Personally, I’d always pick Gascoigne. Laudrup was one of the best ive seen, but for me Gazza’s the most naturally gifted and entertaining player.

People said they failed in Europe but Laudrup proved at France 98 he could cut it and Gazza obviously proved it plenty of times in an England shirt. The problem was that we had grafters around them, that was fine in Scotland but in Europe teams knew that if they sat on Gazza and laudrup, our other players couldn't really hurt them.

I do take your point although the team that got to within a whisker of the Champions League final in 93 was very much a unit without any big stars at all (certainly not as big as those 2) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In subsequent years we almost settled into a rope a dope style, sit fairly deep and absorb pressure then wait for Gazza and laudrup to destroy teams on the break. The problem was, we couldn't really absorb pressure against what were some very good teams, Juve, Ajax, etc and then some competent teams, Gothenburg, AEK Athens, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really was like watching an adult play in a kids game. The disparity was night and day with the ability he had.... Yes unquestionably the best football player ever to grace the professional game in Scotland bar none. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
