Had 2 trips to Georgia cancelled due to all this (May last year then the rescheduled one for this year) - will get there eventually!Worked in Georgia and had a driver who told me he went to school with him and his brother (he saw my Gers top) when I said yes so everyone here tells me he proceeded to call him in Amsterdam and let me speak with him, not long after Helicopter Sunday so could only thank him while in shock as must have been a 8am call for him.
Met him at security in Istanbul only a few years back and greeted him in Georgian much to his amusement so had a couple of words telling him he is still a hero.
He was on an advert at Arrivals in Tbilisi for a few years also. One of the best country's in the world that place,
Never properly utilised by Alex McLeish.What are your main memories of his time with us or even before us?
trying to think and I just see him dancing.
Agree. Had high expectations from his Ajax days but always felt a bit short changed for us despite the good work ethic etc. Thinking back it was maybe the influence of Ajax highlights reels vs seeing him for full 90 mins for us so probably I was too harsh.Never properly utilised by Alex McLeish.
A superb striker, who should've been even better than he was.
The only time I have seen Rangers win away in Europe, great night.That goal in Copenhagen stands out the most. It was a screamer.
Golden Boot in Holland the year after he left us?The winner in Copenhagen.
I've always had the belief that if he played centrally, he would have had a shit load more goals for us.
Yes, this. He was often wasted out wide. His goal record before and after his time with us proves that.Never properly utilised by Alex McLeish.

Killie away December 2004.
Was playing football in the morning and the misses wanted to use the car to do present swap with her family. She dropped me off and I ended up walking the 10 miles or so home.
The Killie match itself was bang average, Shota scored the only goal with a volley from the D.
