GableEnder1873 4 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Thomson is the sort of player you would want as a captain but he is a 'loose cannon' which of course you need but he is an idiot i like him though but my option would be Big Lee McCulloch who is Rangers through and through!

billy72 17 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 McCulloch, Boyd, Miller, Edu and Papac should be nowhere near that list!Going by this season, neither should Bougherra (missed too many games), Kevin Thomson is too injury-prone, and inconsistant, McGregor is not captain's material, and I'm not too sure how Steven Davis would handle it either!?Bar David Weir, no-one is worthy of the captain's armband!So you think we need to sign a new captain.?you stole my thunder .he has been a good d utd captain this season ,i think smith will give it to his pet mcculloch though.Yes!Unless Andy Webster is going to be a 1st team regular, I think he could take over from David Weir - because Walter Smith rates him.

martyboy2009 11 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Rangers through and through does not mean you have a right to be rangers captain!! It's about leadership, motivation, drive, hunger, being able to take the game by the scruff of the neck when called upon! How is mcculloch gonna be able to do that when he's a horrible footballer and out of position all the time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmrfc1873 48 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Kevin Thomson is as far away from being a Rangers Captain as it is just about possible to be.A Hibs fan who is only here because we pay more money than Hibs. He still lives in Edinburgh, still goes about with his fellow-Hibs fans mates, and generally cares not a jot about our club.Yes, he will give his all to try to win games, i'm not calling into question his professionalism at all, just that to be the Captain of The Rangers is so much more than what you do on the pitch, and Thomson gets nowhere near the required mark.If Weir does indeed leave at the end of the season, it will be a big decision to see who replaces him, and we probably need to wait and see who is going to be here next season first before making that decision.John Greig anyone? I've seen him spit out invective at RSC functions for sing songs and make it perfectly clear he doesn't want to be there.John Greig might have been a hearts fan when he was a boy but he's a rangers man now, no question Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shau21a 0 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 nacho novo anyone? to me the captains armband needs to be worn by sumone who can influence the players that look up to him. nacho is a good example, he's hard working, his mental and physical strength is good and he gets the odd goal now and again. mind u, this is if he stays after summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I wish Steven Gerrard was a Rangers player In our current squad, I'd give it to Thomson. I reckon it would bring out the best in him, and hopefully make him much more consistant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theweebluenose 4,335 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Miller and Bougherra seem to have the most leadership qualities but both don't deserve the armband, McCulloch would be the best choice I believe then. The big man would jump at the chance and would try his best to do what is expected of a Rangers Captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivybank 4,643 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 There is more to being a captain than just battling hard, and tackling.Going missing for long spells, having the odd good game here and there, getting caught out of position, not the best option in that position, and being as much use as a shadow is not what you want from your captain!exactly captain of rangers my a??e Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muz333 361 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 None of them strike me as leaders with the ability to push the team when their playing crap.

krisboyuk 6 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Davis is the best player, not really a captain though. Thomson would be great if he could just play like he does in the Old Firm games every week, I still think that will happen someday though and for me he is best option.
