thebluedoo 2,652 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Gary McSwegan against Marseille is probably one of the best introductions I have seen at Ibrox by a relatively unknown? Do you mean impact or longevity ? in that case Broadfoot would rank right up there, signed as half decent CB to then go onto win titles, cups and compete in C L games and play in a European final and if that is not enough to score on your international debut within 3 years, that is the stuff of wildest dreams (or just the Walter Smith effect 😉) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardWalters 476 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 There was one in the away dugout last night. Alex Cleland did a great job for Walter and Archie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM's position was constantly threatened, we signed a few higher ranked names as I recall but he just brushed aside all threats with consistent performances.

Marky. 6,926 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Cannigia is an unlikely hero. Pops up at Dundee and we step in to take him in his mid 30s. More than repaid the faith we had in him. Elsewhere Lovenkrands is an unlikely hero as he was brought in with a ton of other players and most of them forward players. Took him time to get a chance but he certainly took it.

SPWF 8,230 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Haven’t read the whole thread so these have probably been mentioned. Sasa Papac. Signed by PLG as a centre half, converted to left back under Smith and ended up one of, if not the most, consistent players we’ve ever had. Don’t think anyone would’ve predicted the contribution he would go on to make. Marvin Andrews. Part of Helicopter Sunday. Enough said. Both the unlikeliest of unlikely heroes IMO.

plymouthranger 3,869 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 A lot of the more important players under Advocaat are overlooked. Wallace, JJ, Vidmar, Reyna were all superb. Loved big Amato as well, shame Dick didn’t seem to rate him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George McLean 190 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Jimmy Millar, signed as a half back in 1955 from Dunfermline for £5000 or thereabouts, Scot Symon made him a centre forward, he scored 169 goals in 330 games and had a great partnership with Ralph Brand. A great never say die attitude in every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

holdnudgehold 58 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Shota Averladze. As good a finisher as any Rangers have had.

gmcf 34,138 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Alex MacDonald , Dave Smith, John Brown , Davie Robertson , Bobby Russell for me . Hard to believe , but there must have been half a dozen caps amongst the lot of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
