BlueSuedeSambas 53,701 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'm struggling to think of one. David Weir is a leader because of the respect he commands as a human being IMO. I don't think he's the type of player who will rally the troops, get the sleeves rolled up and yell no surrender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Davie Weir? Davie Weir's a proper Rangers man, a credit to the club and probably the best option we have just now. But we do we have that sort of captain like a Gerrard, Terry or Keane that will snarl and rip through his teammates in order to inspire a performance that will change zero or one point(s) into three? That's kinda what I'm getting at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasGers 96 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Not from what we saw on Saturday... Previous year's teams had at least 2 or 3 guys when we weren't playing well, you could just tell they would say "There's no f*cking way we're losing this game!" and take over, but I don't really see anybody in the current squad that has that same mentality.

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 It depends on what you regard as a leader? If you are talking about somebody that will scream and shout at players, then no we don't. But if you mean somebody that the players look upto and respect then, yes we do in Weir. The role of a true leader has changed in football over the years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Honestly, judging by the opinions on here, McCulloch is the ideal candidate! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
broxi51 48 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 do we hell. last decent one was amoroso for a while before he lost it towards the end, but gough was the last great one. barry was a good rangers player but he tended to take too much on with the role which detracted from his game and others at times. madjid is the one player in the team who could do it down the road but he wont be here long enough. thomson is not the answer, i am still not convinced he is good enough to be a long term established and automatic pick for the first 11.

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 In our current squad, no. We have players who are a good example to other players in terms of not getting into trouble off the field and working hard in training. Players like Weir, Thomson and Davis are players in our current squad who are good examples. However a proper leader consists of the things above and the ability to lead by the performances on the pitch, stand up for their teammates on the field but can tell their teammates in the need telling. They must demand respect from their colleagues and must also give their all for the club. Gerrard and John Terry are prime examples. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd have Thommo and Edu with Davis as my midfield 3 when Pedro's gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He (Edu) was every bit as impressvie in the later stages of the campaign, as Thomson was earlier in the campaign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 It's weird we play Hearts and come back with a fighting spirit and we hit back at Stuttgart and draw. But we can't start against Kellie ffssss and win! :anguish: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
