Best Players to play in our league who never played for Rangers or Celtic?

[LoyalRanger_72]

What we thinking guys? Rudi Skacel immediately comes to mind for me.

 

[JohnD]

James Madison.

 

[Unicorse]

There was a killie player

Eremenko

Not saying he had a brilliant career or anything but always surprised when I saw him play

 

[LoyalRanger_72]

James Madison.

He’s went on to have a good career but I’m going to be honest, apart from his obvious free kick against us, he was pish at Aberdeen.

 

[Blue_Britain]

Frank Sauzee closely followed by Ravanelli.

 

[Bigbluebear]

How long ago we going?

George Best surely?

 

[Coistysoverheadkick]

I assume we are discounting players who were past their prime when in Scotland?

 

[drgriffen]

Ravanelli.

 

[LoyalRanger_72]

How long ago we going?

George Best surely?

If I was alive to see Best then no doubt he’d be my answer

 

[Cardee]

Frank Sauzee.

Simply put, an amazing player.

 

[Skoosh1872]

Ravanelli.

First player I thought of too.

 

[Benny0812]

When you look at his career before joining the Scottish league you have to think Franck Sauzee must be up there

 

[LoyalRanger_72]

I assume we are discounting players who were past their prime when in Scotland?

Absolutely. Look at the state of players like Ljungberg!

 

[Blue_Britain]

I assume we are discounting players who were past their prime when in Scotland?

Good point. Forgot about Bestie.

 

[Bigbluebear]

Aberdeen in the 80s had a number of great players.

Miller and McLeish, then a number of Dutch guys around the turn of the decade.

 

[LoyalRanger_72]

Ravanelli.

That’s a brilliant shout mate!

 

[davieboyblue]

George Best
Franck Sauzee
Ravanelli
Hans Gilhaus

 

[DezzaS]

Chic Charnley

 

[Del]

Frank Sauzee - tremendous player.

George Best if you want to go back to the 70's

 

[Clicker]

How long ago we going?

George Best surely?

Exactly. None of the others come close.

 

[MancGer86]

Jason Scotland

 

[drgriffen]

Not the best but another surprise signing was Victor Munoz for St Mirren.

 

[VforVolunteer]

Rudi Skacel perhaps worth a mention here

 

[Coistysoverheadkick]

Steven Fletcher had a decent career after Hibs. John McGinn also.

 

[Zoso10]

Wullie Pettigrew and Bobby Graham together.

 

[LoyalRanger_72]

Steven Fletcher had a decent career after Hibs. John McGinn also.

100% happy the scum never got McGinn.

 

[Coistysoverheadkick]

Jason Scotland

Good shout. Reminded me of another player who played for Hearts-Riccardo Fuller.

 

[derek145]

Aberdeen in the 80s had a number of great players.

Miller and McLeish, then a number of Dutch guys around the turn of the decade.

Was going to say Guilhaus, thought he was a tremendous player

 

[Huistras Fringe]

István Kozma has to be one

 

[Barca Bear]

Alan Hansen.
Alan gilzean
John white
David Hilley
Alec Harley.
Too many

 

[Micah Bell]

Ivo Den Bieman

 

[JayDee]

Sturrock, Narey, Alex James, Hughie Gallacher....

 

[arnietac1]

Casper Scmeichell?(sp)

 

[Blue_Britain]

Ivo Den Bieman

Had a ridiculous throw on him. The first Rory Delap.

 

[Queens Club]

Andy Ritchie?

 

[4KHDTV]

There was a killie player

Eremenko

Not saying he had a brilliant career or anything but always surprised when I saw him play

Good shout.

He reminded me of Taarabt at QPR, caught in possession frequently trying to make things happen but could also do something to flip a game on it's head in his teams favour.

 

[Sandy76]

Hans Gilhaus at Aberdeen was my 1st thought.

 

[drgriffen]

Andy Ritchie?

Did he play for Celtic?

He was a good player.

 

[Shawlands_Bluenose]

I always liked Georgi Nemzadze at Dundee

 

[Stefan Klos]

Nobody’s mentioned Eoin Jess yet

 

[SnakePlissken]

Gary McAllister

 

[Tom Joad]

There was a killie player

Eremenko

Not saying he had a brilliant career or anything but always surprised when I saw him play

Thought he was destined for a top team

 

[MancGer86]

Good shout. Reminded me of another player who played for Hearts-Riccardo Fuller.

In all honesty I never saw Scotland play! I just gathered he'd be more of a cult figure in the SPL and I did always sign him on footy manager when I had a habit of managing Cardiff on there (don't ask me why they were my go to because fk knows)

 

[MwgRFC88]

Since all the best players have been mentioned I will throw out a few players who I always thought were good players.

Nemsadze
Sara
Caballero

All Dundee

Jose Quitongo
Juanjo

Hearts

Miovski
Severin

Aberdeen

 

[Anony Mouse]

Did he play for Celtic?

He was a good player.

He player for Celtic before Morton

 

[Cucumbear]

Gary McAlistair. Played for Motherwell

 

[Argyllblue]

If agree with Frank Sauze

 

[Sandy76]

Just thinking about the Dundee Utd team of the 80s.
You had guys like Kevin Gallagher and Paul Sturock running riot against the likes of Barcelona.

....how could I forget Eamon Bannon too.

 

[Blue_Britain]

Nobody’s mentioned Eoin Jess yet

And neither they should I remember him going to Coventry and being a total dud. Came back with his tail between his legs. My mate named his son after him. Poor wee guy.

 

[SkyeGer]

Georgie nemsadze
