Best Rangers penalty taker you have seen

[Jjbscotty]

Boyd.

 

[Jjbscotty]

Any whizz kid got boyds pen record?

Scored 22 for Rangers and missed 2.

 

[JPS Blue]

Sandy Jardine

 

[Big Blue Bear]

Albertz

Ma pick tae. Every keeper used tae shit themselves when he stepped up.

 

[tazzabear]

Really? I used to watch Novo's penalties from behind the sofa.

One of the worst strikers of a football I've ever seen.

I’d agree here but, I can’t remember too many misses.
I always thought the lack of power from him gave the keeper a chance.
Maybe this genuinely was sending the keeper the wrong way.

 

[mark hateley]

Boyd for me. Never doubted him.

Old school head down and laces into the bottom corner with pace.

Hit the bar with one at Kilmarnock.

My only recollection of him missing.

 

[tazzabear]

McCoist 59 pens, scored 49.

Just over 80%?
There has got to be better than this.
Double figure takers only when disproving me, thanks.

 

[tazzabear]

Hit the bar with one at Kilmarnock.

My only recollection of him missing.

I remember a miss when he scored the rebound.

 

[tazzabear]

One who came to mind just there, that I liked for a while, was Whittaker.

 

[ibrox1975]

Jardine was very good.

For taking one under pressure it has to be Davie Cooper.
That penalty against Wales in 85 will remain as the most nerve shredding kick I’ve ever seen.
He put himself forward for it, brave brave man he was

 

[stonewall Jackson]

John Grieg was good.

 

[JW1988]

There’s 2 players I never doubted.
Boydy and Miller

 

[Artful Dodger]

Davie Cooper.

 

[Bluerhap]

Davie Cooper.

 

[derek145]

Alex Miller.

Miller missed one v Clydebank in the first Rangers game I went to, put me right off him taking penalties although I don't recall him missing another.

 

[Main Stand]

Hit the bar with one at Kilmarnock.

My only recollection of him missing.

Never bit the bar, hit it straight off Alan Combe.

Also my only memory of him missing.

He did save it but he also hit the bar during the game so I'm getting mixed up.

5 pints before the game will do that or was it 6 or 4

Was some free kick!

 

[mark hateley]

Was some free kick!

All I remember was I was in the Moffat and all the goals went in the Chaddwick end.

Thomson taken off too that game.

 

[Bluerob]

Another one for Coop

 

[senefelder]

Tavernier's situation is a strange one, he goes from being one of the best I've seen, hitting with decent power either to the corners or down the middle to once he misses the wheels come off. Do we think he takes the next one?

No doubt whatsoever for me.

 

[truebrit]

John Hubbard.

 

[isawthat]

Hubbard, no one else comes close.

 

[Leopold]

Plenty of us never saw Hubbard.

So let's not end thread mate.

For me, it's Sandy but that's through the misty memories of childhood.

I don't know if the stats would put Sandyhigh up on the list behind Hubbard.

Thanks for pointing that out.

That end thread patter does my tits in, especially when it’s about personal opinions and experiences.

 

[1Hamburg]

Albertz, and I'm over 70.

 

[Rangers Archive Footage]

They all miss from time to time. I remember seeing Jardine miss at easter road in 75 when we won the league and Cooper missing when we lost 2 -0 at Easter road in the league cup in 1985.

McCoist missed the pen at Easter Road 1985

 

[Rangers Archive Footage]

Robert Prytz and Jim Bett were excellent, Jardine and Miller from the seventies, Boyd was very good.

Albertz 22 scored, 5 misses

Everyone should get a copy of Chic Sharp's database for stats, a full page on our penalty history

 

[Al khobar-ger]

Boyd for me. Never doubted him.

Old school head down and laces into the bottom corner with pace.

Yip

 

[Rangers Archive Footage]

Cooper or Super
Don’t think there was many misses between them

Super missed 10 on his own!

 

[Al khobar-ger]

Another vote for Cooper with Albertz coming in a close 2nd.

Big Jorg missed a few , Celtic and hearts spring to mind

 

[Al khobar-ger]

Jim Bett is a great shout , was good at them up on sheep land too

 

[Jase]

Hubbard
End thread

No need to end thread but you've got the right answer.

I am old enough to just have caught the end of his Rangers career although he carried on for a few years elsewhere.

But he had a hell of a record with penalties.

My dad used to recount a tail when we got a disputed pen against the tramps who surrounded and jostled the ref more or less on the penalty spot. Hubbard was bent over in the middle of this dusting off the spot, as was his habit, totally unfazed by it all. I don't need to tell you where the ball ended up.

 

[20rangersultras07]

Although he has missed 5/6, tav has been brilliant but I’d say Boyd

 

[BSPECIAL]

Alex Miller.

Exactly Run up,hammer the ball into the net before keeper can move.

 

[MO_TxTruBlu]

We missed a ridiculous amount of penalties in the 1960's something like 10 different players who failed to score from the spot, (Caldow, and Penman missed quite a few), but the one player who I don't remember missing any was Davie Provan, who I think scored around 10 times from the spot.
In the early 1970's, Willie Johnston scored about a dozen in the first two seasons.
His last one was when he came off the bench at St Johnstone and scored a Hat Trick of penalties, with the last one being saved, before he slotted home the rebound.

 

[Mols]

Boyd, always felt confident he’d hit the back of the net

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

There’s no debate Kris Boyd hands down.

 

[Clone74]

Cooper or Super Ally for me

 

[Faure there’s not a team]

Albertz

 

[essex bear]

I recall Ian Redford skelped in a cracker penalty in at Rugby park.

 

[Kilsyth Unionist]

Boyd. From the modern era

When is the modern era, i class it as post Souness.

 

[Kilsyth Unionist]

Did trevor stephen take many.
Decent shot on him.

 

[Kilsyth Unionist]

Jim Bett

 

[Yoga Bear]

McCoist missed the pen at Easter Road 1985

Yes. I was sure it was Cooper but I have looked it up and Cooper did not even play in that game. He did score the only goal in the return leg.

Where do I find the database, Mate?

Where do I find the database, Mate?

I can't find the link at the moment, Chic might have taken it down while he is updating it. Can't even find him on Twitter at the moment.

Hubbard
End thread

I can just about remember him but it is more an image of a player rather than moments in games. However I have this memory, which I think I may have invented because my Dad used to recall it, of a reserve game at Ibrox and he tells the opposition goalie what corner he will put the penalty. At those reserve games you could near enough hear every word on the park. True to his word JH put it in the designated corner - and sent the keeper the wrong way.
