Yes his touch sometimes lets him down but that'll come. He gives the impression (backed up in a few tackles ) that this is not a guy to mess with which is what we have been needing for the last 3 years. I don't mean a lunatic that rumbles around the pitch causing trouble but a guy the other team has second thoughts about messing with. We've had some great ones in midfield that I've seen from JG to Ian Ferguson and Souness himself and although the big man maybe doesn't have that level of skill it looks like he has the dig and drive which will do for me.

Never known a swine like Pedro.

You get a lot of great tackles like KT on Keane but the last time I saw a player go up in the air like that was bertie auld and it was JG that launched him. It was so enjoyable to watch then and now.

^^^^^^^^^^^ Spot on. As you say though then came 71/72. And boy could he head a ball. Even with that perm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Fsit3UFRa0

Gave everything on the park as a player. Whether as centre half or centre forward he would get stuck right in with no fear. Made his debut in the first team at 16!!! and then scored the winner in the League Cup Final against them. And yep - he was still only 16. If folk want to slag him off for not being too bright when on ssb then go for it, but he was a great player to watch in the early 70's onwards and certainly did more than most for the club and for that alone he deserves respect.

Great stuff and well done to all. Especially to Govanblue and Zetland for going above and beyond.

Hi buddy, memory like a box of broken biscuits so will need the link sent to me again. @Zetland

He was at the hospital having an arsehole transplant......... Breaking News............. The arsehole rejected him.

Lets be honest if he goes through Lego in the tackle the way Kevin Thomson did against Keane, he'll be a hero. Looks like SG is trying to toughen and bulk the team up which we all want to see,. He can maybe even make Windass first go into a tackle, and second without closing his eyes.

Mclennan or Chris Jack?

Evidently went to my first match in 1959 but was just a baby so don't remember much about it. Evidently when the team ran out and the roar went up I shit myself - for real. He never let me forget it but he got into deep shit himself from my mother as he never bothered changing me till we got home. My old man just wanted to get me started watching the Gers young. Remember going to games from around 1962 onwards. Those were the days as we were hardy then.

Naw.

Great close control in the penalty area - sometimes...... Bit like Jelavic as was a favourite at times. What was his name again??

Still trying to take in the first pic of SG in Rangers gear.

He was an absolute pleasure to watch. Trouble was that he could see a pass his team mates were unable to make never mind come up with. We were spoiled then with players like Baxter, Wee Wullie, Davey Wilson, Brand running games a level above everyone else. Those were the days.

Senderos should have been taken away in a transit van also.

Surely not linked to PM being away.

Used to give me the fear trying to play the ball out from defence until he must have been told if tight situations lump it up the park. Big hard git in the tackle with a nifty headbutt.

And there it is. A risk for the season ahead but I'll bet the season ticket sales will be filled again which is what the board needed.

No problem with the club reacting to this and releasing a statement informing the fans of the plans and how they can object. Why does the SLO need to release a statement, informing us there is another statement being released. Just put the thing on the club website and job done. If neccessary it could have been anounced at our last home game.

How is Andy Carroll these days.

Two words that prove referees are more lenient to some teams. Lego Eater.

This 100%. Even if there is/isn't a bias against us, what is wrong with using every honest means at our disposal to get fair treatment. Any ref that knows they might be called out to the SFA or the media for poor decision making or incompetence, will be trying harder to ensure they perform fairly and correctly. In any walk of life if you know your boss or company will be on your case for incompetence you'll take more care in your job. All the refs know that lemmon and brenda will bitch about everything, deserved or not to the media, so I'm pretty sure although not maybe biased, they will make the decision that causes them least grief.

While Bates did the basics of CH work pretty well he was never going to turn into a ball playing centre half which we need badly. This gives SG the chance to bring in a defender that can play out from defence. Remember Butcher pinging 50 yard passes from his own 18yard line? Always works best with a no nonsense tackling CH alongside a skilled passer such as Butcher with Roberts. Unless you had a player like Amoruso who could tackle hard, pass like Beckenbauer and shoot like Bobby Charlton - in his own mind anyway. Loved the big guy but some of these shots
