gersfan 5 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 As far as I remember Gattuso couldn't speak any English when he joined us as a fresh faced 19-year old, and then we bought a young Italian left back called Luigi Riccio who was apparently wee Rino's mate. I remember wondering at the time if that was the only reason we signed him, so the guy had a friend he could talk to! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky. 6,964 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Broadfoot is up there for me. Never heard of the guy and turned on the radio one day to hear him being interviewed about joining Rangers. Thought he was a youngster who wouldn't get much game-time.

Docopops 13 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Marcus Gayle was my initial thought, a late season signing when i am sure we were already trailing badly in the league. Then he gets sold during his first summer.Sure Paul Reid was highly rated maybe even an England captain at u'19s when we signed him.There was a Finnish midfielder that Advocaat signed who played a couple but can never remember his name.Jani Kaupilla or Tero Pentilla? Haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalapeno 2 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Most random Rangers signing?Marcus Gayle? Filippo Maniero? Paul Reid?Any particular player just make you go 'eh?' once we've signed them?Phil Bardsley. Or take your pick from 99% Le Guen signings Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegummy 4,472 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Kerkar was pretty random. Apparently Boughera had this mate so we let him sit on the bench for a few years Even weirder is that the few times he did get a game he looked good!

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Foster! i know money was tight but loaning a full-back from the Sheep? c'mon!Kenny Miller re-signing was also a strange oneDiouf was also pretty incrediblemore recently Sandaza. i thought after the way he was messed about in January he would've told us to bolt, especially with us being in Div 3Ian Black also Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegummy 4,472 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Darius Adamczuk (probably spelt that wrong). Signed for us instead of the filth from Dundee I think (after looking pretty impressive) and then basically crumbled and suffered from severe depression before packing it in. Random signing, in terms of what happened to him, but shows the mentality required to be a Rangers player.Graeme_4 - here is a smaller version of your sig should you choose to change it:http://i.imgur.com/0mKkG.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alukotheblackmessi 22 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Bert Konterman. Never heard of him before he signed, wasn't an international at the time(I don't think). Caused more heart attacks than Glasgow chippies but made up for it with a screamer against Celtic in a cup semi. Cult hero.Konterman was a Dutch international when we signed him, he played in Euro 2000 just after we signed him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alukotheblackmessi 22 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Guivarch was a bit of a weird one as well.Kevin Macdonald was a rank one.Kevin Macdonald only came on loan, played 3 games...doesn't really stand out as a weird one to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DronganExile 84 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Konterman was a Dutch international when we signed him, he played in Euro 2000 just after we signed himCheers, better check my facts next time.

flyingkipper 4 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Luigi Riccio ! I remember him well. Walter had visions of him being Amoruso MK2. Remember seeing him playing at Bathgate for the reserves, trying to spray passes from the back like big Amo, but he was dire. Ostenstad was a good player in the mid-90s. Remember that hattrick against Man Utd for Southampton? He was past it by the time Eck signed him. Paul Ritchie from Hearts also falls in to the same category.Trying to think what happened with him. Did he not see out his Hearts contract on loan to Man City or Bolton, as Hearts refused to do business on a cut price deal with Rangers. Then we got him on a Bosman?
