Sorry Gary, we’ll stick with the primary target!He was sounded out by Walter, and would have signed had Walter not going his primary target - a certain Paul Gascoigne.
Would have been brilliant at Ibrox.
Calm down. Top 100 maybe.Scored quite comfortably one of the best goals scored at Ibrox.

I think we were interested as early as when Souness was in charge. It seemed like the player preferred to remain in England.
I actually remember reading that story in my gran’s. Definitely the PostMcCallister was getting linked to us even before the summer we got Gazza.
I remember one of the papers (possibly the Post) had us signing McCallister (Leeds), Merson (Arsenal) and Keith Curle (Man City).
When he left Motherwell along with Ally Mauchlen I would have had the 2 of them at IbroxFantastic player even in his later years at Liverpool.
I think I heard we wanted him when he was at Motherwell before he went down South.
In all honesty though, in the early to mid 90's I was more than happy with Ian Ferguson, McCall, Steven, Gascoigne, Laudrup and Albertz (at various points) in midfield. Only issue was they always came up short in Europe for us with the exception of the 92/93.
Was it next to The Broons and the knitting patterns?I actually remember reading that story in my gran’s. Definitely the Post
Wasn’t as good as Marco Negri’s first league goal for us at home to HeartsScored quite comfortably one of the best goals scored at Ibrox.
Couldn't blame him leaving Coventry to Liverpool he won 3 winners medals and he was well knocking on at that point brilliant playerGreat player in his time, enjoyed an Indian Summer at Liverpool too and a huge influence on the gaffer
Against us yes one of the best I’ve seen in Europe.Scored quite comfortably one of the best goals scored at Ibrox.
Had a top career mate agreedCouldn't blame him leaving Coventry to Liverpool he won 3 winners medals and he was well knocking on at that point brilliant player
Bang on - that's the memory I have of GM.Souness tried to sign him summer 1990 when he was leaving Leicester.
From about 1992 to 1996 we were linked with him almost monthly and almost every summer it seemed like he signed a new deal to stay with Leeds until he eventually went to Coventry.
And Denis Berkamp, the headline was Denis Gerkamp.McCallister was getting linked to us even before the summer we got Gazza.

I liked your post but didn't like his goal at the time. A good player in a good team scoring a good goal in Europe away from home early. What a team we were to come back the way we did over those 2 games. I think that was us in our absolute prime in my time watching us.Scored quite comfortably one of the best goals scored at Ibrox.
Klaus Augenthaler of Bayern springs to mind.Wasn’t as good as Marco Negri’s first league goal for us at home to Hearts
I remember the silence.Scored quite comfortably one of the best goals scored at Ibrox.
I think your right mate,I’m sure we offered 2,5 million for himI seem to have it in my head that we were after him round about ‘94, but Leeds wanted over £5m which was more than Murray was prepared to spend.
