Incredibly versatile and one of our greatest ever players.
Remember a game where he was given the job of man-marking Eusebio.
You wouldn’t have known Eusebio was playing, Jardine did such a great job.
And not by fouling, I may add.
He was Scotland and Rangers greatest ever right back.
That tactic prompted many a coach to man mark a star opponent out of the game, it lasted for the next 20 years.
You would coach - “follow him everywhere” and he would literally follow him all round the pitch.
It was pre-zoning though, ah them were ‘t days! -
Sorry for your loss mate, far too young to die!

Gough - I like Tav but we need a leader.

As an ecstatic 19 year old I found myself at Shittodrie on 2nd May 1987.
I had memories of the mighty Rangers (instilled by father & grandfather) and a vague recollection of greatness aged 11 but most of my teens hosted memories of what might have been, the elegance of Russell and the moodiness of Cooper, league struggles, midweek cup games and euro cup games. By and large I remember getting beat when it really mattered and McLean & Ferguson turning us down.
And then - BOOM!
Fuck me the arrogance was immense, Ferguson had gone to Man Utd and McLean looked a shadow of his former self but none of that was relevant - there was a new sheriff in town, and he got us.
What a season, fiercely contested, every Scottish club fought twice as hard against us as they did against every other team. Send offs galore, Masonic conspiracy theories and undermined by the Scottish press - our rookie manager didn’t have the experience to go all the way (wee bit of déjà vu). My memory tells me we walked it, the reality is we pipped it.
But fuck me I cried like a baby that day, the right to win wasn’t to be taken for granted and it felt sweet to be on top. By 1990 I just expected to win, and by and large we have, through most of my adult life.

If we win the league this year he's a miracle worker, all things considered not a lot of money and he never inherited the best of a legacy.
But he's not going to be the loser for long in his relationship with Brenda. That special relationship that they have with...…………………. - well just about everyone - ...............….. is looking a tat skinny!

Pretty much how they've played of late, fuckin' charge, charge, charge, then come the 60th minute they're fucked. Need to keep the score as is then push later in the game.
