Alec87 331 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Have to agree with an earlier post that Ally although our greatest goalscorer is probably not our greatest striker. Boyd probably the most natural of all the strikers I've seen... eh ? Super has TWO golden boots ffs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
minstral 5,375 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Jimmy Smith 1928-46234 games and 225 goals, That ratio stands up against anyoneGood shout. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalbeagle 3,734 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Mark Hateley was a phenomenal, all-round striker. He scored spectacular goals, tap-ins, headers, twenty traders and had remarkable pace. He even for the ball from defending a corner into the opposition net, in three touches, has any other player ever done that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Big RC Hamilton 154 goals in a 164 appearances is pretty impressive.Though to be honest I have no idea if he was big or not.What about Big RC Jon Daly ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theweebluenose 4,332 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 More than McCoist? Not even in the same ballpark for me.I only caught the tail end of McCoist's career really so I'm only going by what I remember, what I've been told by others and read etc. Ally himself admits that he didn't always make the most of every chance. Ally was by far a more complete striker - goes without saying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theweebluenose 4,332 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 What about two Ulstemen Sam English or Billy SimpsonThe Sam English story is really a tragic one, his collision with Thomson had no intention yet he could never live with the guilt. The only one who insinuated it did was Maley - proof that innuendo and malicious comments are nothing new with Sexpest FC - Classless since 1888.

No.12 508 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Prso, never scored as many goals as some, but his effort to the cause was superb, always 100%.My favourite Ranger in the last 10 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I remember my big bro' & his mate arguing about best striker between Miller, & Forrest, in the sixties.Myself?

Muirheadbear 1,483 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Derek Johnstone, Bob McPhail, willie Thornton, Millar, Brand, Stein or Jimmy Smith????Take your pick really.I think these questions highlight how little recognition the older players get. For example - Boyd is getting mentioned a lot. Was he really better than Bob McPhail? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuistraHairDo 12,507 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 well my Dad would say Stein, Brand, Torry Gillick or Willie Waddell, in my lifetime Hateley, R Fleck, Mols, Prso, Drinkell, if I had to pick one Mark Hateley would probably get the nod. I had the privalage of watching McCoist from the day he signed (think I was 5/6) and no one will surpass him. he was the epitome of being in the right place at the right time, something you can't really teach. good post.
