Apologies just noticed that one of my all time favs big DJ captain from 78 to 83 is missing, from a sixteen year old on DJ really did live the dream !

TMB 14,167 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 You think changing captain will make us win more games? Come on. Tavernier is the man the manager backs and his performances so far this season justifies that decision. He’s one of our best players and most sellable assets.

BLUEDIGNITY 33,610 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Virtually no chance of finding a captain in the traditional mould, especially a Rangers one. Luckily in most of our teams over the decades we have been blessed with 5 or 6 who could fill the mould in one team but that ship has sailed.

BILLYBOY50 1,638 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I hate watching the gers getting bullied off of these fucking no marks it is time to shape up or ship out. If they can't show fight playing for the Rangers they can fuck off seems like I have been posting the same post over and over and it needs to be addressed. I hope that Stevie is the man to sort this out as we don't need bottle merchants we need players that can stand up for themselves.

kanjo 26,294 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The problem we have is... we have no one to naturally take over as captain. All good captains have been at the club long enough to understand and can also back that understanding with performances. Tav is inconsistent and not the answer as I am sure most will agree. The only real option we have right now is bringing back Davis as I honestly cannot think of someone else to take it. What a difference Barry Ferguson or even David Weir would make to this team.

Steven Davis is the worst captain in Rangers history, the club was in its darkest days and he hid. I’d rather have Halliday than either Tav or Davis and that’s saying a lot.

Know I’ll get it in the neck for this but IMO we should never have binned Wallace as captain, the fact Gerrard keeps him close shows he’s still a positive influence.

The Specky Forum Organiser 63,954 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Can have a valid debate about his merits as a footballer but he is a pathetic captain and I don't know how anyone can think otherwise.

The Widow's Son 399 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Playing for the jersey is a popular choice and brings back so many good memories for us all especially bears of a certain vintage. But it's an outdated liability. I'd play for the jersey and captain our heroes and so would you. But we're crap and the game has changed. Meanwhile, celtic are captained by Scott Brown, a Rangers fans from childhood. Other captains of theirs include Bro. Bertie Peacock, Danny McGrain, Kenny Dalglish and various others who did not quite fit their traditional profile. So this seems to be the direction forward.

Today's lot lack inspiration, mettle and any understanding of what it is to be a Rangers player and the honour, plus dare I say it the expectations and traditions that come with that honour. Our manager was a great captain, I hope he can address this problem with the same class and ferocity that he himself displayed as a Captain who led by example. The closest we have right now is our keeper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,592 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Tav is a weird one as his assist his goals are vital to the team but he's weak defensively he is a vital part of the team but I don't think he's Captain material. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

superallysbears 7,478 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I think tav will be away in January anyway and we will be picking another captain, hopefully one that's up to the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
