Whats the best nickname you remember for a player. We’ve got shagger (mcgreggor), moody blue ( super davie cooper), the hulk (davy Urquhart if I remember right), ham & egg (john greig) to name a few. My favourite is ‘The goalie’. It says it all. Whats your favourite? Pished.😀

My late dad had umpteen nicknames for players. Used to sit in awe listening to him, my uncle and grandad talking about the Rangers. Seemed every player had a nickname then.

Mind my Granda talking about the wee blue devil (Alan Morton) and the iron curtain.

Kinda wish now id asked him more about it at the time but i  was only a young boy at the time!
