He was a great player when he kept it simple but was absolutely prone to a high profile fvck up!
It was the 02/03 season at Ibrox and you are correct in it being at the Copland end.Started off quite mistake prone but once he got to grips with Scottish football was an excellent player.
Speaking of 40 yard freekicks...v Celtic September 98 or 99 (0-0) He hit one right off the bar into the Copland
It always amuses me - we all see the same thing, yet some think a player is wonderful, some think he’s awful, some in between.Yeah, it's mad how people can have different views on players. We all do it.
I'd never say I was right, just how I see it.
How can a double treble winning captain (for one of the trebles) who scored in cup finals, against Celtic and played in some of our best performances in Europe under 3 legendary managers not be considered a hall of famer?Might have made the difference and helped prevent them winning the league in his first season, had he not been injured most of it. That and whatever happened to Negri post Christmas.
I like him but not a hall of famer
Thanks for that mate, was a fantastic watch. There’s one thing makes me sad about watching all of these old videos from our golden age, I suppose you could call it, and that’s seeing the fast forward flowing football we used to play……leaves me wondering when we’ll ever see it again, consistently, at this Ibrox!Worth a watch particularly for any younger bears
Erratic and not half the player he thought he was. Had some great games but I'm always absolutely baffled when people have him above the likes of Weir or Bougherra.
Get your point when he was good he was good but his Rangers career was tainted with some calamitous errors. Im sure he was humiliated also when he got stripped of the Captaincy in favour of Barry Ferguson, by one of your “Legendary Managers”How can a double treble winning captain (for one of the trebles) who scored in cup finals, against Celtic and played in some of our best performances in Europe under 3 legendary managers not be considered a hall of famer?
Name me a player who doesn’t make errors, especially when they play every game. The main point is he was a major part of the last two trebles we achieved.Get your point when he was good he was good but his Rangers career was tainted with some calamitous errors.

Not so sure.
Have we had a better centre back since?
Including Weir, Cuellar, Bougherra and Kiernan.
Great Rangers centre half.
Ask Sutton and Hartson for reference.
Most ashamed I've felt by the actions of some (sizeable) of our own was him being booed at home vs Dundee United after a mistake. A disgrace.
A leader and a very strong character. We let him leave too early but what a way to finish.
Loved the big man.
I loved the big man.
Took the club to his heart, put in some huge performances for us. A top shagger, too.
Yup they were great together was Moores best spell Amo was tremendous player would take one like that right now. We just had to accept he was prone to the occasional little error. The only complaint I would have is the wife said she would leave me for him don’t know what happened but she is still hereWhen I think of Amo and Moore it makes me think what a great partnership they had. Also puts to bed the shite about left sided centre backs.
like I said on my original post , I like him, on his day he was great, but for me his name doesn’t jump out when I think of Rangers hall of fame.Name me a player who doesn’t make errors, especially when they play every game. The main point is he was a major part of the last two trebles we achieved.
He went on to play a long time for us and was still a leader after the captaincy was taken off him.
I don’t get the saltiness about the legendary manager. Advocaat won a treble and a double with us, and the decision to make Ferguson captain proved to be best in the long run, no?
Thats my point!Amo was better than Bougherra
An example I use when trying to debunk the idea that it’s a must have.When I think of Amo and Moore it makes me think what a great partnership they had. Also puts to bed the shite about left sided centre backs.
I see what you did thereNot so sure.

That’s my overriding memory as well, Amoruso keeping it from going out for a throw in and then putting in the cross for the 3rd? goal.Memories- Dunfermline at Ibrox in to win the league. Led by example that day, hunting everything down and then first out the tunnel after we'd won swinging a couple of t-shirts about like a madman!!
Covered above but could be erratic and stress me out or be very strong.
I didn’t think that warranted a response.An example I use when trying to debunk the idea that it’s a must have.
As is Weir and Cuellar.
I’d say it’s an advantage but not a necessity.
If people are of the opinion that Tav is a hall of famer, then of course a player with as many trophies won as Amo is worth mentioning. He'd be one of if not our best player if he played for us now, in his prime.
Going by transfer fee inflation, the £6m we paid for him back then, he'd cost £34.5m todays money.
We could never afford a player like him now.
Great CB over the piece.What's your memories of the big man?
3 leagues
3 Scottish cups
3 league cups
1 player of the year
A worthy hall of famer?
I'll never forget seeing that first free kick of his at Parkhead, from about 40 yards out, that was a bawhair from going in, and thinking what have we signed here!
I absolutely adored the big man, and to come back from the stripping of the captaincy into arguably a bigger rock for us was some achievement
I had the pleasure to be at a dinner with one of his ex girlfriends and after a few drinks asked her about it. She confirmed it was a big yin, said he walked about the house Bollocks, with it slapping off his thighs.Big Amo had a cock like a french baguette apparently. I'm not jealous, mine was big enough to fill a pram.
It's crazy to even think of being in that position now.The biggest club in the world at the time wanted him, yet he came here. Changed days.
I can't recall this at all?When he had the sensible head on he was as good as anything I've seen in a Rangers jersey. His performance in Paris was the greatest one man defensive performance until Cuellar in Florence.
Then there was the other side to him - massive brain farts, whoring himself to teams on an almost yearly basis, running his mouth off needlessly in the press, blaming others for his own mistakes
His book is also unintentionally hilarious. If you want to read about some of the best shagging Lorenzo has done or how aspargus turns his pee a funny colour then buy it.
But the guy captained us to a treble. His place in history is assured.
That’s because it never happened. Any time he was linked away (West Ham, Sunderland etc) - he was adamant he wanted to stay. In the end, the Club wanted him off the books because of his high wages and Souness took him down the road to Blackburn.I can't recall this at all?
