Teh Proffessar 26 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Never seen any of these guys in the flesh accept Laudrup at the legends matchBut given testimonials and youtube footageBaxter >Laudrup > Cooper > GascoigneBaxter imo was the greatest Scottish winger/trickster there has been, there are neutrals that say he was underrated and much better than Jinky Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane 338 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 People's answers will be dependant on the years they have watched Rangers.I concur with that statement fully By which, Laudrup is the best I've seen. Possibly Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVB 2,560 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Having seen "Shug" in his pomp i can't disagree.Bumped into Shuggie a couple of days before we played Spurs (Jock Wallaces' last game). He was in Inverness, looking for the Ross County social club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More direct whilst JJ would go back to try and beat his man again WH would beat them and cross the ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should also add, i've heard many a Celtic fan agree that Baxter was a better player than Jinky, probably because of what he did to England.

Marky. 6,965 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 for 9 games!I think he gets too much praise. Dont get me wrong, i loved him, and without his injury I think he would have went on to be one of our greatest signings. He scored 9 goals in 9 games before his injury, that alone is not enough for the praise he gets. He was never anywhere near the player he was after that.At his best for 9 games. But the OP asked our most skillful and he'd be up there, no doubt, regardless of his injury, he possessed great skill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 In the years I've watched Rangers it's got to be Lauders, Gazza, Mols etc.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ylfb 21 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Ian durrant had a superb touch but for running at pace with ball stuck to feet Gazza laudrup and arteta seemed to have glue on his boots what a lovely player arteta was to watch Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyd09 390 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 In my time following Rangers it would be Davie Cooper but my dad would say Jim Baxter and then Willie Henderson, the older bears arent often wrong another one i enjoyed watching was Mikhailichenko still thing if he was allowed to play anywhere like the great dane he would have been amazing Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of skill no-one will ever come close to one James Curran Baxter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBlue 136 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Can only comment on players I've seen so Baxter isn't an option for me. Basically a three way between Laudrup, Cooper and Gascoigne. Would have to say Laudrup for pure skill, but Gascoigne had the best natural football brain of any player I've seen at Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
delamonty 992 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Correct. Also chose McKinnon over McNeil but what did he know.Aye. Try and tell them that though? Wullie H. was simply better. Got to the byeline with ease. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delamonty 992 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Not really related to this thread... But some cracking goals here. Also.. Amato ripping the piss at 5:18 in is one of the best moves ever :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
