graeme_4 34,613 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Great player. All the best wherever he goes. Glad to see we've moved on from the 'old guard' - exciting times ahead at our club from top to bottom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcb 1,167 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 In over 40 years of watching us, Iain Durrant is without doubt the finest player we have produced imo. Too many great memories to mention but his goal against Celtic at Ibrox in 86 sums him up best. Perfectly timed run and touch before a calm finish past the keeper. (Pass from Coops wasn't bad either). We'll never know how good he could have been but safe to say he could have played for any top team and not looked out of place. From a personal point of view i hope he goes abroad to continue his coaching career, which would give him a different perspective re- tactics, lifestyle, expectations etc. I wish him well and will always remember the skinny kid with the big mop of hair i seen at Cappielow in 85 and thinking he'll never survive in this league. How wrong i was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,534 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Man, the memories in that dynamite vid... A dynamic and skilful player before the injury, a skilful player with footballing intelligence after it. Legend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddybears1872 129 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Great player in his era,Its sad to see him go, Sometimes we just need to accept great players wont make the grade as manager or coach at any top club,Sure he will get a job in future working in football. I still dream of Laudrup teaching the kids his skills, What a team that would be if it worked out Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Will Follow Rangers 12,935 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The boy had a gift, the man gave over 30 years service to the club, feel for him not being around the club day to day but equally, hope he finds a new role quickly and of course, wish him the very best.

K.A.I 36,183 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 It was his choice - I posted in Jan when I was over in Valencia with the U20s he told us he was leaving he said he wants to spend time with the family - Miller was meant to take the job but he hit form after that and got a deserved extension  wish him all the best - great player, decent guy but not a very good coach/manager - I think that's fair - all the best Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember going to the reserve game he made his comeback in, 2nd largest crowd of the week. Thanks for the memories Ian, once a Ranger! Indeed, he was a great player, but feel both he and us were robbed of an even better player if not for his injury. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendofCoop 17,359 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Goals v Celtic & Marseille in particular always spring to mind when I hear his name. Don't dwell on 'what could have been '. Be thankful for what he did for us. Terrific player...true Ranger. All the very best Durranty. Hope you find work again soon. Thank you for all your service.
