Tenerife Bear 1,748 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Legend is a big word thrown around quite a lot. 7-8 years service at the club across 3 eras. 257 appearances for the club 102 goals 5 major honours 3 Premiership titles 1 Scottish Cup 1 League Cup 1 League One 1 Scottish Championship Make your own mind up about legend or not. A better goals ratio than most would have thought i imagine but he hasn't won as much as i thought he had. What can't be taken away from him is his work rate, his dedication to his profession and this club and his burning desire to win every single time he takes the field. He is a winner and unlike most of his team mates he knows exactly what it means and takes to play for this club. I love having him here and despite his age he keeps proving that he has it in him to play a part even now. Long may that continue. When i think of Rangers legends though i think of Meiklejohn, Greig, McCoist, Cooper, Gough, Morton, Young, Henderson, Jardine, Johnstone, Jackson, McDonald. I'm not sure Kenny is up there with those guys is he? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyal 136 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Who would be tempted to make him manager NOW and bin Warburton make him player/manager save on recruiting another with the same wages he's on now Fukin big risk but he talks well and has a wealth of experience he'll fire up the players have the players total respect and won't take any shit he also Knows playing alongside the players their mentality and work ethic also I won't have too listen after every match to a broken record about "we'll learn from it" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtuoso 27,180 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Is this not his last season as a player? I'm sure that I read somewhere he was keen on a coaching role / doing his badges. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also has 9 goals against the tims which I believe counts for something, big game player... on the other hand would we count Boyd as a legend? 5 and a half years service over two periods 235 appearances 137 goals 6 major honours - 2 SPL Titles - 2 Scottish Cups - 2 League Cups UEFA Cup FinaI I'd say no to both.

Got to agree, i can' believe KB only won 2 titles here. Felt like he was part of quite a few. I think as a support we are definitely losing some of the values which made our support and our club who we are. These guys are not legends, they were great servants and done a wonderful job for the club but they didn't leave lasting legacies or spend years chalking up trophy after trophy. I've just asked 2 older gentlemen if they would class KM as a legend and they both laughed at me. Perhaps it is a generation thing, our younger fans i'm not sure appreciate just how great our club actually is, or has been or how great some of our genuine legends actually were.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,552 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Some laughable comments imo, he scored a tap in then missed a fucking sitter to get us a point against the tims, but because he runs around a lot he's legend material? He's done, finished at the top level, few wee sparks here and there won't change that, we need better than him up front if we want to progress Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

William McBeath 2,154 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 One of the few players to genuinely lift me off my seat when I see him throwing his skinny arse into a crowded box because he has the knack of finding the ball and punishing teams no matter if the cunts around him are twice as big. Playing for the filth has obviously tainted his record but its difficult not to think of Rangers over the last decade and not think of Kenny as one of the leading figures. He's became synonymous with us despite having pulled on their manky top which you would think was impossible to do. An outstanding servant for Rangers who's exploits for us will be remembered well by me. I think he is a legend in his own era too. Not the greatest on the ball but gave his all always and produced loads of times for Rangers. I suppose it depends what is meant by legend because his service over 8 years is more than many players, such as Albertz or Amuroso, who were also fantastic for us and considered legends by many. I suppose it really comes down to whether you can see past him playing for them. He's done that much for us that I find it difficult to remember him playing for them. Always thought he had a bit of a miserable spell with them. Judging by his seemingly unrestrainable desire to do well against them I don't think he feels any affinity for them. You'd be forgiven for thinking he had a grudge. I wouldn't have signed a player that had played for them but in this instance I think Walter got it right. I don't know if he identifies with being a Rangers man but I would certainly give him that status. Somehow he's managed to make up for the greatest of sins by having a place in my heart along with so many others. Shouldn't have been possible but there you go. No wonder someone called it 'a funny old game'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bam74 978 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I would take Kenny Miller anyday over Garner , Waghorn and Dodoo. Everyone says says he's finished but in the big games over the last 2 seasons he's always stepped up. A legend ?? , Who knows but I'm glad he he played for us. Guaranteed future coach at Ibrox and maybe manager down the line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
