Smallest XI In Rangers History

[Jan Žižka]

Working in tandem with the Tallest XI we could field, what about the smallest?

Of our current squad, Jermain Defoe is listed as the shortest arse at Ibrox at 1.71 metres. Gives him a height advantage over Rod Wallace of 1 cm.

With Rod at 1.7m (5 foot 5 and a smidgeon ) and John Spencer at 1.68m (5 foot 5 just) are these the 2 tiniest strikers we have had or has the glaringly obvious passed me by with our strikers?

Robbie McKay?

 

[Theoldgeezer]

Gattuso...Willie Henderson

Gattuso...Willie Henderson

At 1.63m, 5 foot 3 and a half inches, wee Willie must be a shout.

Rino clocks in at 5 foot 8.

 

[Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán]

Novo, 1.7m

Calimero wasn’t very tall.

George Niven in goal

Wondered who the keeper was. Always thought goram wasn't the tallest for a keeper

 

[JerseyLoyalist]

George Niven in goal

Sorensen and Neef can’t be much taller.

 

[Vallance]

Billy Dodds

He only looks small because his ears are so big.

 

[dh1963]

The great Andrew McCreadie of our first ever League and Scottish Cup winning teams in the 1890s was a centre back and just 5'5" tall.

1.7 m is 5 foot 7 inches .

 

[Bumplittledipper]

Robert Prytz was about 5 ft 5

[ClubDeckBear]

Neil Mccan?

 

[Balogun1]

Always thought that Greg Wylde looked like he was born below sea level.

 

[BlueFlagHigh]

C Reyna

I don’t think Reyna is small , he had a really small back but I reckon he was around 5ft 10 .
Laudrup is another who people think is smaller than he is but he had small legs and a really long back which is what most great players have .

I’d throw in John macdonald he was a wee guy must have been maybe 5ft 6 ?

 

[Kilsyth Unionist]

Aaron Nemane

Julian Rodriguez was a small centre half

So was paul ritchie ( supposedly)

Goram

Subs- Klos, Munro, DeBeasley , Novo, Dodds , Cannigia, hyndman

[TheGoalie11]

Neither Goram or Klos were that tall for GKs, although were both outstanding shot stoppers.
