RFC Rob 112 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I think that's probably a bit premature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

koala bear 25 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Early doors yet but a statue of 2 large Golden Boots would remind taigs there is only 1 great striker from scottish footballs history Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcoastbear 1,639 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 The no 12 has been retired in honour of the Rangers support,do you think we should retire the no 9 jersey in honour of SUPER ALLY?The Rangers No.9 jersey carries with a certain kudos that has to be an attraction for some players much as it does at newcastle etc down south due to the people that have worn it. I think it would be a far better idea to wait till Ally has done at Rangers and then maybe rename one of the stands after him. Much as I really appreciate what he has done for the club I am not a fan of honouring active players or managers myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in 3 years the idea can be up for review. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAMPS4LIFE 86 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 i think it spurns on a player wearing the number of such a legend in a club and makes them play harder for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa6995 3,693 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 No and we should not have retired the number 12 either.Clubs and football are all about history and we are witnessing just a small part of it, although doubtful who is to say that years down the line someone else comes in to pull on the famous number 9 jersey and create another piece of history.Retiring jerseys is just plain daft if you ask me and I would go one step further and do away with squad numbers and go back to 1 to 11.No disrespect to Ally or any other player but its not for me.

Gaz92 966 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I think a statue of the great man is more befitting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabbit bear 139 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 No I think theres something special about that number 9 jersey, it just means goals to me. And I have to agree with southcoastbear about honouring people still active at the club, just look at Murray Park. It would never be named that now.

Broxi 11,751 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 We can't retire it anyway. We need to number our players 1-11. I don't even think the number 12 can be retired any more because of this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1873bear 192 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Ally McCoist would never allow that to happen not a chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozblue 4,332 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Definitely NO. We have had legendary #9's in the past from when this great club began and we will have legendary #9's in the future...If we had retired a number for every legend of the age that played for Rangers we would have ran out of numbers years ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneDavidCooper 2,505 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Nice thought but, unlike number 12, number 9 is very important and I'd always want to see our primary striker wearing it on match days. I hope Andy little wears it this season.Perhaps Ally could be a 99 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Feeney Loyal 12 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 On the SFL 1-11 argument, Northern Ireland play 1-11 in internationals, however Aaron Hughes wears the number 16.In saying that, I dont think 9 should be retired. Once Ally has done all he wants at Rangers there are bigger accolades for him, such as statues or stands being renamed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claddie 53 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 No. Let's give our strikers something to live up to. Ally is a hero but only time will tell if his story is remembered in the same way Struth is. I'm sure he will. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
