Players you loved who maybe weren't that great

[The Barrel]

How can you form that opinion of Lowing on a couple of appearances? I’m aware that my question is at odds with your post, but it really is a weird one.

Incidentally my burd was his hairdresser when he was at Rangers.

Just wanted to believe... production line.... sell one, bring through the replacement....

 

[Johansen]

George McLean, he used to get pelters from many but his scoring record was outstanding.
Then again he could look like he'd never played the game and at other times would look like a worli beater, all within a 20 minute period

 

[Shengus Malengus]

Thomas Buffel and Gabby Amato were two players I thought should never be out the team and should have played far more than they did.

 

[Roscoblue]

Although eclipsed by the likes of Numan and Papac, I thought Davie Robertson was a fantastic left back for us. Pace to destroy teams and the heart of a lion.

Was he?

 

[Canada Loyal]

He's never been allowed to forget it. Think the boy's a fucking tree surgeon or something in Canada now.

Luca Gasparotto came on as a sub at Ibrox once and my mate turned to me after 10 minutes or so and said he was the new Richard Gough. He was then raging any time he didn't make the bench or get any first team game time.

He's never been allowed to forget it. Think the boy's a fucking tree surgeon or something in Canada now.

Can confirm

 

[Disraeli]

Charbonnier.
He was a great goalkeeper before his injury, albeit prone to an ‘eccentric’ moment. Unfortunately his injury and that his time as No1 fell between Klos and Goram mean he isn’t quite as well remembered as he deserves IMO.

 

[andyblue]

Alex Clelland a regular in a special team

 

[TN8]

Can confirm

Afternoon Luca. No offence meant by the way

 

[Mols]

Greg Stewart recently, still stick by we could of used him more

and also Harry Forrester

 

[Canada Loyal]

Afternoon Luca. No offence meant by the way

No bother. It's still morning here though, I'm only on my first cup of maple syrup

 

[HandsomeHead]

Stuart Munro and Ted McMinn.

Showing my age there.

For a very brief period in the autumn of ‘86 McMinn was arguably our standout performer, suddenly transforming from a bit of a peripheral, comical character few seriously rated to something of an idiot savant who caused utter mayhem in opposition defences for a month or two.

But that was it, this weird, flash-in-the-pan moment when folk were calling for him to get a Scotland cap before the flame flickered out again and he was offloaded to Sevilla after falling out of favour with Souness.

 

[jimcornette]

Dragan Mledenovic
I’ll see you all once my bans up

Really mate? Really really? Really?

 

[StansgRFC]

 

[Vidmar]

Another vote for Waggy. Sold him for £1m and replaced him with £1.5m Herrera, then tried Cumdog, Murphy, Sadiq, Lafferty etc.

None of them were as effective as Waggy.

 

[BlueHaze]

Colin McAdam (Big Beastie)
Dave McKinnon (Mad dog)

 

[Kowloon72]

Went to school with my mum.One of those family facts that whenever he was mentioned I was told for try umpteenth time he went to school with your mum.

Hammy prob pumped her rotten knowing him.

 

[Johansen]

Although eclipsed by the likes of Numan and Papac, I thought Davie Robertson was a fantastic left back for us. Pace to destroy teams and the heart of a lion.

Robertson was far better than Papac and was at the very least the equal of Numan

 

[HandsomeHead]

Greg Stewart recently, still stick by we could of used him more

You should write to the manager and let him know that he made a bit of a mistake there.

I’ve heard he welcomes pointers from fans on how he can improve things.

 

[TheJuice]

Was he?

Not for me

 

[G-Hallbear]

Every loan signing in the last 10 years

 

[Artful Dodger]

Hammy prob pumped her rotten knowing him.

Wanker!

 

[Kowloon72]

Cousin and Namouchi for me.

 

[Jonathan E]

Willie Mathieson, Barcelona Bear.

I was too young to be a good judge of a player back then and revered all Rangers players.

I'd be interested to get the views of older Bears about how good or not Willie actually was.

 

[JerseyLoyalist]

Cutty Young,I loved watching him.

 

[RabSpackman]

Terry Hurlock.

You could count on one hand the number of times he gave the ball away in his Rangers career.

FBS

All people outside of Rangers, but unfortunately also a lot of Rangers fans, could see was a big brute clogging people.

Hurlock was a superb passer of the ball - he didn’t just win it well, he used it positively.

 

[WATP3006]

Charlie Miller

 

[Main Stand]

His ball to McCoist in the OF was tremendous.

 

[ao2]

I always liked Quinton Young back in the 70s. He scored some cracking goals, not least a screamer against that lot that won the very first Premier League game in 1975, and in front of a record crowd.

 

[TW1988]

Barrie Mckay
Josh Windass
Martyn Waghorn
Andy Halliday

basically all of the Warburton Championship team. Think after feeling a disconnect with the players latterly under Mccoist etc the football and pride they gave us was a joy.

 

[NE Cornerbear]

Doug Baillie, limited ability but an intimidating giant of a man to be up against.

 

[Gio#56]

Stuart Munro and Ted McMinn.

Stuart Munro! Stuart Munro!

MAD....


Stuart Munro was great, Fact.

 

[TQ3]

Unless you Brian from East Kilbride, he can fúćk right off!!

 

[strider]

I believe Edu made us a better team despite him individually not being the best of players.

There's been loads I wanted to see given more of a run in the team, but I accept that it doesn't matter who plays as long as the job is being done.

For others in this category - I knew Vanoli was poor, but I liked his attitude at least. Always hoped he'd turn it around.

 

[Herman]

Marv, Novo, Candeias

Likeable guys.

These guys plus I thought Barry McKay had a big future

 

[StaunchEnclosure]

Stephen Hughes.

Full white kit with number 27 on the back. No idea why!

 

[Caniggit]

Big Bob malcolm wasn't the most elegant football or the strongest defender but would contest he had a wand of a right foot.

 

[Mols]

Fs mate your some laugh

 

[TimzRFudz]

Was he?

I maybe worded that badly. What I meant was in terms of the regard he’s held in relative to those two, by large swathes of the support.

 

[Porrohman]

Stuart Munro and Ted McMinn.

Showing my age there.

they were the first 2 that immediately sprung to my mind

 

[DMac]

Although eclipsed by the likes of Numan and Papac, I thought Davie Robertson was a fantastic left back for us. Pace to destroy teams and the heart of a lion.

Robertson was far more effective than Papac. Smashing full back

 

[exiled bluenose]

Always liked Kenny Watson when he played for us. Could hit a great free kick too.

 

[sandbankbear]

Lewis Macleod. At one time i thought he was going to the top and told people that. Feel daft now lol

 

[GimmeShelter]

Oleg Salenko for me, I absolutely loved the guy and would always stick up for him when he was getting pelters.

 

[Claudio Caniggia]

Big Marv

I got barred from here for arguing with a mod about how great he was. Haha

 

[dougal101]

Martin Henderson

 

[Tailwind]

Loads on here preferred Filip Sebo to Boyd.

PLG would be the manager version of this question. Not very good in his job but absolutely loved by online bears.

 

[Bada-Bing]

Stuart Munro. A leftback myself, I used to watch him extra during live matches. Rarely put a foot wrong.

 

[JMCK]

Waghorn, Halliday, Andrews, Edu, Hill, and Alexander(gk). I'm sure there's more.

 

[Deleted member 125]

Jim Stewart remains one of my favourite goalkeepers

I also was a Van Vossen fan and thought he would flourish when Advocaat arrived.

I thought Dean Shiels and Nicky Law were good enough for Rangers in the SPL.

And Halliday and Greg Stewart.

 

[allmodcons]

Would love to have seen how good Oleg Kuznetsov would have been, if it had not have been for that injury against St Mirren
