Definitely Ferguson
The sheer number od Old Firm games we won thanks to Ian Ferguson simply bullying their midfield was incredible. 10 seconds in and he had planted McStay or Grunt, and they never looked up for it as much thereafter.Ian for me.
Looked a terrific striker of a ball.
A bit of an unsung Ranger imo.
I voted Derek cause I was right behind the goal. Ian's was a belterToday's poll is between two midfielders from the 1980s with the same surname.
Same surname but very different Rangers careers.
The first goal is from 1986, the first European campaign under Graeme Souness. In those early days under the manager, the young Derek Ferguson looked to be a future star. Here, we went to Boavista in Portugal with a slender 2-1 lead from the home leg. This terrific strike was the only goal of the game sending us through to the next round. This Ferguson really should have had a great Rangers career, but he threw it away. And he now earns his money from BBC Scotland.
The second goal is from 1989, as Rangers under Souness were driving towards reclaiming the title. Midfielder Ian Ferguson was facing his former club but still enjoyed celebrating this cracker as he opened the scoring in a 3-1 win moving us closer to being Champions. This Ferguson enjoyed a trophy laden Ibrox career, and is a Hall of Fame member of the club.
2 Fergusons. 2 very different Rangers careers. 2 very different reputations in our support. No doubt which player is more popular.
But which goal was better?
Ian. I’m sure that game finished 2-0 though rather than the 3-1 quoted in the OP? Sorry for being picky, especially if I’m wrong!
Was about to post the same, but had a wee look at latest inputReally surprised at the poll score so far.
I can only imagine folk are disregarding the genius of Cooper.
It's not just about the strike, although Ian's was probably marginally better(really close call), the Boavista goal was easily the better goal.
Did he not score up there,Ian`s.
Both good goals but Ian`s had a look of venom about it.
Derek was a good player for us up until a point, remember one game at Pittodrie where he played as the advanced midfielder with number 9 on his back.
My dream midfield at the time was the 2 fergusons and durrant.Ian for me.

Unusual for Derek.
Two mate
