simplythebest 11,453 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 As a club we never seem to have been big on statues, even the one we have was made as a tribute to the Ibrox disaster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrT 173 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I would like to see a monument put in place to celebrate all 54 major league titles won (Or 55) with some of the key players that had a major influence in achieving this for Rangers along the way. A great mark of respect that would be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing and really gives you a sense of the history of the team Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozblue 4,331 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 We have a statue of the Greatest Ranger of the last 50 years, so why not one of the Greatest Ranger of the first 50?John Kitey McPherson.I'll ask the obvious, here, Colonel.....Why John McPherson, specifically? Was it it his splendid scoring record for us? or perhaps he was the forerunner of what we later called, the "Mr versatile" footballer who could play anywhere on the park,including Goalkeeper (which he did) ? Or was it perhapse his oustanding contribution as a director of our club for 19 years after he retired from playing?Or is there another reason you selected this fine gentleman ahead of other notable contemporaries of his?. Interesting choice, no matter your reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting choice, no matter your reason. Kitey was officially honoured as the Greatest Ranger of the first 50 years in 1923 I believe (the erroneous 50th anniversary of the club), so I wasn't putting him up as the greatest of the era off my own back.However, as you've pointed out in your post, his achievements are massive for Rangers, and you can see why he got the distinction at the time.I might add to your list of Kitey's achievements that his goals helped us win our first ever Scottish Cup, he played in our first League title win (scoring the first ever Scottish League hat trick), helped us set a world record by winning all League games in a season, and was part of a 4IAR streak...which many a great Rangers team has not been able to accomplish.

I knew where you were coming from, and for me it was just a combination of everything he contributed both on and off the park...and the significance of a lot of the trophies/achievements he helped gain. All of this, plus those who were there at the time thought he was the greatest.On the point of his versatility, the very last league game of his career was the one game in which he had to stand in as goalkeeper.It was the 2nd last game of the season, a must win, and effectively won us the league. We beat St Mirren 3-2 to go into the last game of the season 2 points ahead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
