A legend in numbers

[dh1963]

The man Bill Struth described as "my best ever signing".

22 seasons a Rangers player.
940 appearances in the first team in all competitions.
10 "official" league medals
6 wartime league titles
6 Scottish Cup medals
Played in 65 games v Celtic
Scored 2 goals, both penalties
Didn't score in his last 16 seasons
10 Scotland caps
Only played for 1 club.
Only played for 1 manager.

The club's longest serving ever player.
The club's appearances record holder.

Sometimes stats don't tell the full story.
But for Dougie Gray, they tell us everything.

Incredible. 940 appearances.

That will never be beaten.

 

[Sam English]

Exemplary service to the club

Too young to remember but was he in with a shout when Greig got the Greatest Ranger title?

 

[CaptainCourageous]

An average of 42 games a season for 22 years.

An average of 42 games a season for 22 years.

That is unbelievable, what a career from one of our greats.

I don't think anyone whose Rangers career ended before the 1970s was even close.
If I remember, Ally McCoist and Davie Cooper were 2nd and 3rd.

Too few would remember that far back.

 

[Blew Knows]

Some amazing statistics there, never to be equalled. He was also ma auld da's favourite .

thought that might be the case but those numbers are phenomenal, shame there isnt more recognition

I hope he wasn`t a centre forward

 

[dh1963]

I hope he wasn`t a centre forward

He must have been a helluva defender for Mr Struth to pick him 940 times knowing that only left 9 players who might score a goal!

 

[Kimarcus]

940 appearances! Absolutely mental.
