bg1872 6 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Seen this on Twitter earlier. I'm sure stuff like this has probably been posted before but here is my squad from when I started watching in the early 90s. Look forward to reading some more with players from different eras. Goram Klos McGregor Brown Porrini Numan Papac Gough Amoruso Weir Moore B. Ferguson McCall Gascoigne Albertz Van Bronkhorst Durrant Laudrup R.

bg1872 6 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 I narrowed it down to about 40 players to begin with. Trying to cut that down to 23 and a balanced squad was hard work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Not doing this, I'm keeping all my heroes from the seventies in my favourite ever squad, which means the likes of Gascoigne and Laudrup will just have to accept it.

eejay the dj 31,964 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 There is simply no squad, could not have the best left back we've had last 30 years in Davie Robertson And Neil McCann would be ahead of Mols who had only one good season really . Gascoigne8, Kitey79 and CoopsLaud 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geronimoo 1,474 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 hard to pick, but I would add Trevor Steven to that original list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubie92 1,074 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Goram; Klos; McGregor Robertson; Papac; Gough; Amo; Moore; Porrini Laudrup; Gazza; Albertz; McCall; B Ferguson; Gio; De Boer; Tugay McCoist; Hateley; Durie; Arveladze; Pršo; Jelavić Hard to leave out players like Numan, McCann, Mols or even Rod Wallace - doesn't compare to some of the other strikers, but a good goalscorer nevertheless - but still. If I was to think of this again tomorrow I'd probably drop certain players out in favour of others, but picking a squad of just 23 given the quality I've seen since my first game in 1992 is difficult. Right back was the hardest position to consider for me. I liked Cleland when I was a lad, and was a fan of Porrini, but other than Hutton's spells of really good form I don't think I've really seen a top notch right back at Ibrox. (Stevens was winding down when I first started watching, Ricksen seemed better in the midfield, Mo Ross was decent at times but nowhere near a great.) Moore could fill in at full back when Porrini gets suspended in my hypothetical squad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At LB I didn't want to leave out Davie Robertson but wanted a defensive LB in Papac and it was then a choice between Numan and Robertson for the more marauding LB.

I went with Robertson partly just for his link up with Laudrup. (Think Juxebox is underrated too, but his link up with Laudrup is partly why I chose him too; Robertson, Laudrup and Durie are going to cause most defences problems.)

jjbscotty12 3,560 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 First game I remember was 1992 so my squad would be: Goram,Klos,Mcgregor Stevens,Hutton,Gough,Weir,Amo,Cuellar, Numan, Papac Laudrup,B.Ferguson(C),Gascoigne,Mccall, Mccann, Albertz, De boer, Gio Mccoist, Hateley, Lovenkrands, Wallace.

SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,798 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 3 Goalkeepers— Stefan Klos, Allan McGregor 4 Fullbacks— Alan Hutton, Fernando Ricksen, Arthur Numan, Sasa Papac 4 Centre Backs— David Weir, Carlos Cuellar, Madjid Bougherra, Lorenzo Amorouso 5 Centre Midfielders— Barry Ferguson, Mikel Arteta, Giovanni Van Bronckhorst, Steven Davis, Claudio Reyna 4 Attacking Midfielders / Wingers— Ronald De Boer, Neil McCann, Vladimir Weiss, Peter Lovenkrands 4 Strikers— Dado Prso, Michael Mols, Kris Boyd, Nikica Jelavic I can only really remember properly from the 2002/03 season, maybe 2001/02 at a push.

TheCutch 4,340 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Rattled through this so will probably kick myself for missing some once I give it proper thought, but initially would read something like this.. GK Goram, Klos, Woods DEF Stevens, Porrini, Robertson, Numan, Gough, Butcher, Amoruso. MID Gascoigne, Laudrup, Albertz, B Ferguson, McCall, Souness, Van Bronckhorst, De Boer. ATT McCoist, Hately, Prso, Johnston, Mols. Edit- Knew this would happen. Cannot believe I left Davie Cooper out. ?

Right backs have always been a difficult one for us. I have included Hutton for his peak season with us. Notable omissions from fullback are Stuart Munro and Papac. I had enough left backs. Centre Mid is missing Van Bronckhorst who was probably peak after leaving us. He seemed to have a better career at full back as well. Couldn’t leave out Ian Ferguson so GVB missed the cut I have included Davie Cooper even though I was very young and he was on the wane when I remember him. But. It’s Davie fucking Cooper. Boyd gets in just because of his prolific goal scoring. Probably the least talented footballer in the team. But what an instinct for goals. Inevitably I have missed some. But would be happy with that squad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,526 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Numan's the best all round fullback (never mind left back) of the last 35 years at least. Baffles me how anyone could leave him out. Smell the hotdog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

harlands plater 16,974 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 As I first went to Ibrox in 1962 thus is going to very difficult. Scot Symon’s dominant team, the Barcelona Bears, Jock Wallace’s two treble winning squads, the Souness Revolution, Walter’s nine-in-a-row legends, Advocaat’s purring football outfit... 23 players from that list?
