Gert Jan Goudswaard, remember him Rangers fans? Probably not. The Dutchman was a club doctor at Gers for four years after being brought in by ex-boss Dick Advocaat. And after scuppering the transfer of a Spanish star to Ibrox, he now has a ROCKnamed after him in Espanyol! The Light Blues agreed a bumper £11million move to sign Raul Tamudo from the La Liga side 16 years ago after Michael Mols was ruled out with a long-term injury. Tamudo told how he was ready to sign for Rangers against his will and said: “They told me: you go, or your teammates aren’t getting paid.” After thrashing out terms with Gers, all that was left was for him to undergo a medical in Glasgow. But after two hours in a MRI machine, Dr Jan Goudswaard advised AGAINST the move. The striker then returned to Spain before becoming an Espanyol legend – netting 129 goals in 340 appearances. And now, Dr Jan Goudswaard has a Spanish fan club called ‘Doctor Gert, Diga 23’ as a thank you over the collapsed Gers move. In the end, Rangers broke the Scottish transfer record for another striker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm sure he played in the uefa cup final at hampden 2007 round about the time we were linked with him, hard to believe we got there (Manchester) a year later, seems a life time away.

Jamie0202 12,565 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Robbie Savage in Division 3. Scott Brown - I remember Derek Johnstone talking shite every night on Clyde 1 that Brown was 100% coming to us just before he signed for them. Joleon Lescott. Ryan McGowan again in Division 3. We had him at Murray Park but ultimately he turned us down which is fair enough due to the league we were in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We almost signed Les Ferdinand in 1995 - he'd have been brilliant up here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
