A dreadful term.Rangers Da is probably the worst patter ever.
And near enough every player you’ve named would walk into our team the now

Hearts, Motherwell and The filth results say otherwise.You don't win the league at home.
Take Leeds alone they were unbeaten in 19 months in the Premier League and were Champions. A far superior side to any that Morelos have played.European comps changed - McCoist played against teams in the tournament actual who are the equivalent of the teams we play in the qualifiers.
Its a fallacy McCoist scored against better teams.
McCoist:
Bohemians, Ilves Tampere, Boavista, Dynamo Kiev, Gornik Zabrze x2, Steaua Bucharest, Valetta x 2, Red Star Belgrade, Leeds x 2, Alania Vladikavkaz x 3, Grasshoppers x 2 and GI Gotu x 3.
Morelos:
Osijek, Maribor, Rapid Vienna x 2, St Josephs x 4, Midtyjlland x 3, Legia Warsaw, Young Boys x 2, Porto x 2, Feyenoord x 2, Lincoln Red Imps x 2, Lech Poznan, Benfica, Royal Antwerp, Malmo, Alashkert, Sparta Prague, Dortmund and Red Star.
You are making an arse of yourself here so will leave you to it.Take Leeds alone they were unbeaten in 19 months in the Premier League and were Champions. A far superior side to any that Morelos have played.
Remember who played in that Leeds side, they are without doubt one of the best we have played in my lifetime.
Two CL sides in Morelos' list Porto and Dortmund and 2 in McCoists, Dynamo Kiev and Leeds.
The rest are Europa at best and some dross in there too. Not much between them for me.
Now let's compare medals.
A lot of the time it was give it to Laudrup and he will pull something out the bag. I think our European results at the time showed we were tactically behind the continent. Not just Rangers btw but British football in general with it taking until 98 for a British team to win the CL.Do you honestly think the team from my era lumped it forward? Just miss out Gazza and Laudrup n punt it up?
I'm a Rangers "Da". (awful patter)I read more than post nowadays but could not resist after reading the thread on the Athletic's ideas on player types and the names for them.
The posts regarding Rangers da's incoming got me thinking. Are the players of my era, the 90's so far out of touch with the modern game and the way it is played just like supporters of that era?
Personally I think the players I watched in my twenties are far superior to the current Rangers squad.
So I will name my squad below and let the modern, more knowledgeable supporter debate whether my Rangers Da's side is better position by position than their modern equivalent.
GK Goram Klos
RB Stevens Porrini
CH Gough Butcher Moore Brown
LB Robertson Numan
CM I Ferguson Gazza B Ferguson McCall
RM Laudrup Steven
LM Albertz Durrant
CF McCoist Hateley Negri Durie
4-4-2
In my opinion they would beat the current squad with ease, can you even imagine Laudrup, Gazza, McCoist and Hateley up against our current defence? It would be frightening. There are only two current players who would possibly make my squad, Tav and Morelos.
Keep it civil lads and dare I say it, respectful.
I think you adapt to the circumstances you are in. I remember one of the Liverpool players from the late 70s / early 80s talking about how most of that side were pretty big drinkers, but got away with it because the other squads were doing the same.
Bryan Robson, probably the best English midfielder of his generation used to bevvy on a Friday night before matches and was usually still a stand out. If these guys were coming through these days they would still be as gifted, and also be model professionals as it's the only way they would make it.
What about Dundee UtdHearts, Motherwell and The filth results say otherwise.
I'd rather win the League 75% of the time like we did then. Each to their own.Sorry, I thought we were comparing the 90s boys as they are against todays team in some kind of time defying spectacular exhibition!!
ok, so if we took most of the 90s squad and they came through today with modern coaching and diet etc, then yes I agree man for man they are better. We were buying the best of the best at the time though.
it is slightly more satisfying, imo, to see us do so well when we have assembled the team on a tighter budget and you actually see the players improving through coaching and tactics, rather than buying the finished articles at huge prices.
Take Leeds alone they were unbeaten in 19 months in the Premier League and were Champions. A far superior side to any that Morelos have played.
Remember who played in that Leeds side, they are without doubt one of the best we have played in my lifetime.
I don't he's in the squad from the 90s and I think it would be McCoist and Hateley as first choice.I'm a Rangers "Da".
Gordon Durie wouldn't get a sniff at our current team.
You having him ahead of Alfie is preposterous.
Sorry if that seems disrespectful.
Could be applied to a quite a few threads...If he’s in the top 5 players you’ve seen at Rangers why not have him in his actual position.
Also what the %^*& is even the point in this pish? I’m so confused probably because I’m half asleep
I don't think he would just as I think Baxter would've been out of place in the pace and physicality of the 90s. It is a pretty facile argument mind trying to drop a player from one era into another.McCall from 1991 when he was bombing forward and joining the attack, even scoring goals would thrive in this side.
McCall from 1994-1998 who didn’t do that… not so much.
Interestingly (for me anyway) I had a look through which shirt numbers Stuart McCall wore for Rangers.. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
Aye okay they were shite Eric Cantona included.Wit?
Where did that Leeds side finish in the league season 92/93?
Agreed.I'm a Rangers grandda, so I must be one of the least informed people on here.
For every old guy you hear shouting "Get it in the box" or such like, there will be another 99 old guys like me that understand the way football works today.
It is always the way that the younger ones think the older generations' teams were inferior due to outdated methods, and to a certain extent, that is true. There is no doubt players today are much fitter.
One thing is certain though, the average Scottish player of today is nowhere near as good a footballer as the players I watched in the 1960s and '70s. We have really regressed as a footballing nation., we have not embraced new methods and have been paying the price for years.
Alfie would "Challenge" but Durie is actually in your squad.I don't he's in the squad from the 90s and I think it would be McCoist and Hateley as first choice.
Alfie was in his Columbian Da's baw sack in the 90s.
I did say him n Tav would be the only two from our current team to challenge for a squad place.
Aye okay they were shite Eric Cantona included.
Witty.Any line up with 2 keepers in it should do well
Kent wouldn't start but he'd be in and around any squadI don't he's in the squad from the 90s and I think it would be McCoist and Hateley as first choice.

I'd have Reyna over TrevorI'm 50 and think the Leipzig atmosphere was better than Dynamo Kiev.
I also think Trevor Steven has never been bettered.
They were far superior to any team we have played recently. You pointed out there finishing position that season. I'd say we caused that.Who said they were shite?
Respect!You are making an arse of yourself here so will leave you to it.
They were far superior to any team we have played recently. You pointed out there finishing position that season. I'd say we caused that.
That makes you right then because you swear, kind of.wild as f*ck.
Spot on.Football has evolved a lot but one thing Rangers da's expect are trophies.
That is one thing that should never change through the generations of our support.
Crazy talk.I'd have Reyna over Trevor
Kent was almost in at LW but I had to squeeze Durrant in. You did not need two wingers with Laudrup playing mind you, he covered both.Kent wouldn't start but he'd be in and around any squad
That makes you right then because you swear, kind of.
It’s one of those conversations that some people get really animated about but is a nonsense really… you can’t take someone from one era and do anything other than imagine them into another.I don't think he would just as I think Baxter would've been out of place in the pace and physicality of the 90s. It is a pretty facile argument mind trying to drop a player from one era into another.
Levski Sofia, AEK Athens, Auexerre, Grasshoppers, Gothenburg?
The very best teams, really? The Champions League? Really?
They were unbeaten for 19 months before we met them including in the Premier League.wild.
how do you explain them being p*sh in the league in the months before we met them?
you thought it was like now eh, and we played those games before the season really started
They were unbeaten for 19 months before we met them including in the Premier League.
The EPL back then was not the all conquering financial juggernaut it is now. Leeds were a decent team but that was it. We probably had a higher turnover than them at that point. Compare that to the disparity in finances between us and Dortmund or Leipzing. It's a world of difference.They were far superior to any team we have played recently. You pointed out there finishing position that season. I'd say we caused that.
We'll agree to differ. I have a bias towards Rangers players that delivered in the biggest games and Reyna was a big game player.Crazy talk.
You obviously don't know 90s football outputs.
Those 3 would have been enough.What about Dundee Utd
Levski Sofia, AEK Athens, Auexerre, Grasshoppers, Gothenburg?
The very best teams, really? The Champions League? Really?
Ah I see, I'm not sure how much Alfie would like being a squad player. I think he likes being the main man. We may find out this season.Alfie would "Challenge" but Durie is actually in your squad.
My point stands.
Fantastic player. Very underrated when it comes to great players that have played for us.I'm 50 and think the Leipzig atmosphere was better than Dynamo Kiev.
I also think Trevor Steven has never been bettered.
