El Carpintero 546 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Raw skill on the ball? One on one skill. Flicks, tricks and step overs etc? Aluko. I think he is more skillful than both Laudrup and God Gascoigne. We won't appreciate just what a class act he is until he moves on. Make no mistake, we have a cracking edge of the seat player right now in wee Sone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwaysblue 709 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Right I have been around longer than most on here so here is my top 5 1 Baxter - remember his quote "The wives of the Celtic fans used to write and thank me for sending their husbands home early"2 Durrant - Never fulfilled his potential due to that beast Simpson but would have been the best midfield player of his generation3 Gascoigne - fastest feet ever in a blue jersey4 Henderson - often forgotten about and always thought as second to their Johnstone. Henderson at his peak was a far superior player5 Cooper/Laudrup - cant decide but would have either in my team Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 In the years I've been watching Rangers then it would be Brian Laudrup. Although Ronald De Boer could do special things with the ball.Amato deserves a mention as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabawsa 888 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Mark Walters. Had pace, could score and set up goals plus one of the few players who genuinely could use both left and right feet with equal effect. Remember him screwing big Mick Mcarthy into the pitch like a corkscrew for Drinkell's goal in the 5-1 game back in Aug 1988! Also Jorge Albertz was great with Der Hammer and some great dribbles for a big guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Scotland caps, more Scottish league appearances and both played at same time in same position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devlin 222 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Vladamir Weiss is the most "skillful" player to wear a Rangers top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Davy Cooper or Gazza for me Notice some mention Ian MacMillan,he was only a part-time pro,many don't know that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights 2,526 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Vladamir Weiss is the most "skillful" player to wear a Rangers top.Fucks sake, man. I put myself through 5 pages to see if he's already been said and you put it three posts before I get there. Agree with Weiss. Obviously not one of the best we've ever had, but the boy had moves.

Mark. 69 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Can't comment on Cooper, Baxter and the rest as I never seen them live, YouTube clips are no way to judge a player. From who i've seen, i'd say it's between Gazza, Laudrup and Amato. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
broxieman 14 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 RichieShearer CaldowDavid McKinnon BaxterHenderson McMillan Millar Brand and Wilsonto name but a few !!!!!!!!!!!!!Ah, those were the days. After all these years, funny how I can still rattle off that team without taking a breath, or a second, to think about it.Baxter wins !!!!!!!!!!!!!!And for those of you who never saw him, you'll never know the feeling inside Ibrox when he would get the ball. The hush, the expectation, the excitement. Poetry in motion.See, it's good to be old ;-)) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deleteduser1 169 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 People's answers will be dependant on the years they have watched Rangers.Exactly From my time watching the team in the flesh it's got to be Davie Cooper for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy9Millar 9 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Somebody mentioned the great man Harry Davis.Harry was all heart and strength, the only player who could have strengthened the Iron Curtain but his skills were not great as he himself knew. Protect McMillan and Baxter and win the ball for them. That's what he could do and boy, did he do it well.Could have given Hurlock lessons in intimidation and shown Forsyth how to put a bit more power in the tackle.

TheBishop 15 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 For me, cooper or laudrup. My father says Baxter or McMillan but my da has airdrie leanings so may be biased. I've actually had the pleasure of meeting the wee prime minister and asked him who the best rangers player was. His answer, Baxter by a county mile. Told a great story of a journalist asking slim if he thought he could put a ball on a sixpence from 60 yards. 3 attempts allowed. Wee McMillan says slim takes his first strike and hey all watch it land and a sixpence flies into he air!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow argyle 1,093 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 In the flesh, Cooper, Gazza or Laudrup.The least skillfull spring to mind as well - Jimmy Nicholl, Hugh Burns and Scott Nisbett to name but 3.you could add Ally Scott, to that list,Jim Denny of course, but i have to disagree with you on Jimmy Nicholl Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
