If I were to ask you how many we've had - as in officially appointed club captain, not just who has worn the armband - what would your guess be?
Great question - I would guess it’s more than you think. I’ll got for 55If I were to ask you how many we've had - as in officially appointed club captain, not just who has worn the armband - what would your guess be?
We've had players who were captains for 10+ years. I'd guess around 30 officially appointed captains.If I were to ask you how many we've had - as in officially appointed club captain, not just who has worn the armband - what would your guess be?

I'd say less than 30 if you don't count the likes of Gavin Rae etc,. who all had it for days, rather than at least a year.
Wasn't Rae an "officially appointed club captain" though?I'd say less than 30 if you don't count the likes of Gavin Rae etc,. who all had it for days, rather than at least a year.
Cracking avatar!!
Laudrup before Amoruso?Wasn't Rae an "officially appointed club captain" though?
Might have missed some, but since 2000 alone I would say these players were the official captain of the club for very varying lengths of time. Others were captain for games but not stated by the club as the captain.
Lorenzo Amoruso
Barry Ferguson
Craig Moore
Stefan Klos
Fernando Ricksen
Gavin Rae
Davie Weir
Steven Davis
Lee McCulloch
Lee Wallace
James Tavernier
That's in just 20 years. There's almost another 130 years to add on.
But I do totally agree some there were not "proper" captains as nowhere near
Don't think we count Graham Roberts as he was a stand in as club captain Butcher was injured, so pre Butcher it would be Craig Paterson, John Mclelland, Ally Dawson, DJ till you get back to Mr Greig.Laudrup before Amoruso?
Working back,
Gough
Butcher
what’s the timeline before that?
Close but no cigar.I reckon in low 40’s. Don’t think there were named Captains in early years, then some of them were 10 plus years. I say 43
A bluenose guide to the galaxyClose but no cigar.
The answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything is 42. As Rangers are life, the universe and everything, the answer must be 42.

Where would he slot into the sequence mate?No Woodburn ?
Before ShearerWhere would he slot into the sequence mate?
Before my time, obviously.
Ok- so updated, now at 27:So Shaw, Woodburn, Young then Shearer.
Where would they fit in the list mate, and I’ll update.Was DJ not captain for around 4 years from when Greig became manager.
There are a couple of long serving captains missing off the lists in this thread, Robert Hamilton, Tommy Cairns and George Young I think were all official club captains.
Was Carlos Bocanegra one?This seem to be the full list? Anyone missing?
