The best rangers team I’ve watched.

[Papasmurf]

I get we’ve had world class players over the years. And we all know how they are. We’ve also made a euro final. But, for me, this is the best team we have had in my life time. (I’m 39).

a collection of really talented players, a fantastic team ethic and brought together by a great management team.

So enjoyable watching them

 

[Major Winters]

Agreed, 40 years old and this season is the best I've seen. Shame there's no fan's.

I trust this manager and this team more than any others I've watched from the 80's till now.

 

[bud_light]

Great team but Smith and Advocaat had a better team at times

 

[Pvt. Hudson]

Would love to see this team against an Advocaat Rangers team.

 

[TPP]

None of us have seen this leave of consistency in Europe. None of us. It’s surreal.

 

[lordmountbatten]

Said today the 9 in a row team were amazing to watch but the way we play the game just now is even more entertaining.

 

[Sasa5Papac]

34 and struggling to disagree

 

[wd1872]

Best since 92/93 for me

I agree with this. Although Advocaats side often played some scintillating stuff at times, so has this side. We seem to have an attitude now that’s got steel built into it. Never say die, go for the throat and the coaching has been nothing short of miraculous.

The vast majority of us have never witnessed what are watching right now in terms of sheer form and wins.

We are unbeaten this season bar one match in the league cup, our defensive records stands up to history and our league form has the potential to rip up all records.

It’s an outstanding rangers side.

This is it for me. We go into a European tie with no fear whatsoever, and that feels insane. Loving it.

 

[AndyWebsterLoyal]

100% agree for me, but I’m 24 so just missed out on a few great teams.

Great post pal. 36 and agree completely. We are a TEAM.

To the Baku, we’re on our way!!

There’s a great mix of fight, talent, organisation, and never-say-die within this team. It’s the good elements of a Walter Smith and Dick Advocaat side combined.

 

[Kingging]

I'm 53. It's the best since the mid 90s. There isn't much in it though even compared to that team

 

[SecondBestIsNothing]

This side’s grit and determination would probably beat Advocaat’s side. Best in my lifetime (26)

 

[Braesbear]

63 yesterday and have to say I have seen some real great teams with individuals but this team is less so and more of a unit. Loving the way the play the game

 

[Joebones]

Probably not the best in terms of world class players, there’s no Laudrup, De Boer, Gazza etc but in terms of best coached team I think it’s the best I’ve seen.
Europe is where you are judged and we pass test after test.

 

[Queens Club]

Great post pal. 36 and agree completely. We are a TEAM.

To the Baku, we’re on our way!!

You do know the final isn’t in Baku

 

[Sweet_Home_Alabama]

Agree with Paulski above. I'm a Ritchie, Shearer, Caldow man myself. But this team are ruthless. To quote from poetosphere "those bastards are relentless".

 

[frankie_dux]

In Europe we look so comfortable and the players are so comfortable on the ball

 

[Dennistounbear45]

Definitely a strong argument for it. And without the riches of Advocaats era and NIAR years.

 

[ndr429j]

We play european football the way it has to be played, this is the best I have seen Rangers play in europe

 

[Carnwadric-bluenose]

I'm 45 and I've never known two good euro campaigns in a row ive never felt this confidence before .

 

[He's Blue He's White]

Agreed, although wee dicks team was frightening at times. However I think we need to remember the proportion spent on top players compared to that of dicks team.

Flo - 13mil
Kent - 6mil

 

[SECTOR:72]

We’ve never seen a Rangers team this competent in Europe. Drink it in and enjoy it.

 

[WearsideGallantFew]

29 year old here and 100% agree. 9 goals in one knockout European tie. Insane.

 

[perthtruebluetwo]

It's the best rangers team I've ever watched in europe by a mile and I'm 45, no fear, what an attitude we have in europe.

 

[DylanGer]

In the modern era this is the best team by far in relation to resources but not in overall relative quality when you consider we were regularly buying some of the best English players available and whilst that was a different era you have to accept in relative terms this team is not at that level..

 

[IrvineLoyal]

Probably not the best in terms of world class players, there’s no Laudrup, De Boer, Gazza etc but in terms of best coached team I think it’s the best I’ve seen.

My thoughts exactly the same

 

[AyrLoyal]

Best since 92/93 for me

Was about to post the same

That’s exactly it. Coached to perfection to get the most out of everyone.

 

[yardie]

Sure we only look good because ra Sellick are shite this year.

I an trying to disagree with you Papa, but i am finding it hard

 

[Brahim Hemdani's Granny]

We've reached March and we've played teams such as Benfica, Galatasaray, went away to Belgium twice, Portugal, the Netherlands, Poland and er Gibraltar, and we are still unbeaten, winning every game besides two.

That is utterly sensational.

 

[DylanGer]

People need to realise as much as we underachieved in Europe in the 90's and onwards we were playing at the very top European level. This team isn't.

We should enjoy the absolutely remarkable job SG has done but the comparisons are off....even Walter's dour team getting to Manchester was something that is going to be hard to top.

 

[CamBluNoo]

In the dark days of 2012 this is where we hoped and wanted to be.
We could have had another 3 goals in both games against them.

 

[Johansen]

None of us have seen this leave of consistency in Europe. None of us. It’s surreal.

Except those ot us that were around for the 1972 campaign that is

 

[TPP]

Except those ot us that were around for the 1972 campaign that is

consistent over 3 years, Walter smiths team of 93 is the best team I’ve seen. But this consistency is freakish. Ragdolling big teams

 

[Junior Ganymede]

Would love to see this team against an Advocaat Rangers team.

I doubt that's going to happen, mate.

You and me both mate. IMO this team is a level and more better than the Manchester team, and that said with the greatest of respect to them. Different styles of play, but we're absolutely blowing teams away. Someone described it as a juggernaut, they'd be right.

 

[kenikinif]

All i know is that younger bears will be reminiscing about this team in 40 years time
Im still nostalgic for the 77/78 treble winners

 

[RobGer]

This is a good team and am really enjoying the last 2 season excellent euro football but.... 92/93 was champions league and we outplayed every team we played and 2008 we achieved so much with a great team spirit. This team is still improving so hoping it can go as far.

 

[TQ3]

This is the type of team I have dreamed of at Rangers, no big names, all work hard, we have a shape to defend and an attack that has pace and touch to go with goals.
I always admired the Ajax 3-4-3 and the Kiev team of Rebrov and Shevchenko (4-4-2, but more 4-4-1-1.) none of the players were big names until they played deep into Europe, but they knew where each other were, they defended from the front, and played like a unit. We do all of that now. We break from our own box straight towards theirs. A jot to watch.

 

[two2tango]

It’s the best footballing side we have had imo

they are coached to such a high level and deliver consistent performances

if teams do t park the bus we scud them

if we can grow into a champions league team and deliver these type of performances we will be unstoppable in Scotland

 

[BBB]

We play some brilliant football at times and is a joy to watch

 

[Gennaro_88]

The team play with a freedom that's really refreshing. Not scared of being on the ball and always looking to score.

There's a plan A and a plan B too which makes us less predictable.

 

[Renoranger]

Agree with Paulski above. I'm a Ritchie, Shearer, Caldow man myself. But this team are ruthless. To quote from poetosphere "those bastards are relentless".

Me too.

That is why I hate the match threads with abusers and moaners who give up so easily.

 

[Boldvale]

Great team but Smith and Advocaat had a better team at times

I wonder what Gerrard could do with the budget both of them had.

 

[cloodie]

Some of the goals we've scored in Europe over the past couple of seasons have been incredible football, among the best I've ever seen from us. I'd compare them with the famous goal we scored against Dortmund.
