McEwan's Lager 30,571 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Best football we have ever played in my lifetime in 1999-2000. But his third and fourth seasons were disasters. In 00-01 we had a net spend of 25m or something and O'Neill's team bullied us. His European record was slightly above average too. If you compare his record to McLeish with the constraints McLeish worked under its not pretty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Feels weird saying this about a guy who won 5 trophies for us but in the context of the amount of money he spent he was a failure. Achieved nothing in Europe and only won the league twice The football he had us playing was out of this world though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA1972 9,600 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Nothing but love for Advocaat, despite his tenure not being all rosy some of the players he brought here and the football they played were an absolute joy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDB14 2,760 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 First two seasons were unreal. Last couple were horrible. We actually underperformed in Europe imo given the squad we had too. We spanked Sturm Graz 6-0 at home only to lose to them away and go out the CL. Feel a bit of frustration we didn’t even make it out the groups given we later did with a squad with half the genuine quality. Probably remember the Parma games most from that era closely followed by winning the league at the paedo dome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wully 47,579 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 "Rangers have style. There is a lot from the club and the fans that make you aware of that.

Agreed, I remember one night at Tynecastle where we blew Hearts away football wise, at a venue where we had struggled badly. The whole away end gave it big regarding our love for Advocaat for the entire second half it seemed. Great memories of those days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
