Swally 6,289 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 We can all make a list of Rangers players who were world class in a very real sense, and those who were absolutely pivotal in us gaining the honours we have. But I wanted to see which players of our past, who may not belong in both the world-class and pivotal player category have endeared themselves to the fans. For me it's Neil McCann, I absolutely love the wee man. I thought he was a great little player, energetic, tenacious, fast, brave. He also didn't shy away in the company of some really really good players, if anything that seemed to drive him on. After retiring, he has endeared himself to me even more. He clearly loves the club and looks on fondly on his time playing for Rangers. He shows his class in his punditry, and really has shown up some of the ex Rangers players whom you'd think would have defended us in the media. Maybe the word "unlikely" is too strong a word regarding the hero status of McCann. But I simply wanted to remember important or cult players who do not get banded about in best Rangers player threads etc. Which player would you pick?

slimjim1690 4,534 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 God almighty where do I start, ok here goes, but I'll definitely have to come back to this, Alex McDonald, Dave Smith, Willie Mathieson, Bobby Russell, Tom Forsyth, Gordon Smith, Stuart Monroe, Davie Robertson, John Brown, Dave McPherson (I liked the big fella and he contributed), that will do to start with.

bluenoz 30,687 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 About 2/3rds of that team in 2008. Making it all the way to Manchester was more than expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I'll be honest when we signed Alfredo, despite his stats I didn't think he'd quite have the impact he had with the fans and in his goals. Add to that the charity stuff he does back home etc I'd say he has surpassed all I expected from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
