Nothing self indulgent about your posts. Sammy Baird had his doubters when he arrived from Preston North End but he scored a lot of important Inside forward goals and never lacked effort. Played left half for the Hibs when his time at Ibrox was over. Caldow and Wilson - what can you say? Caldow a world class player and Wilson my favourite Rangers winger (my username notwithstanding) There’s some field of runners for favourite winger title. Waddell, Scott, Henderson, Hubbard, Wilson, Cooper and Johnston and I’m still raging they let Eddie Rutherford go to Hearts.

That’s what the best managers do.

A heroic XI. Maybe a bit generous to Morrison but he wore the blue and he scored a few, so …

There’s not a word in that article that I disagree with.

John Rutherford. This Rangers supporting stand off half would have been a brilliant footballer. Could sidestep like Ian McMillan.

Na, na, mannie. Thon’s a butter roll.

Officer’s cane, surely. If he’s still here in three years with three championships and 80% of the other availables he might be eligible for a Field Marshall’s baton.

A capital winger, Gordon Smith of the Hibs. If my old mother (rabid hibbee) had been looking for a toyboy it would have been Gordon Smith.

There’s a much broader athletic demographic in England and a less ferocious drinking culture. I’ve often thought that but it’s like a nuclear weapon. If you don’t have one and the other chap does, you lose.

Perhaps the core structures of the Liverpool and City teams are stronger platforms for youthful talent to prosper in them when introduced. Liverpool’s kids looked about primary school age.

Not really. I was there.

Hard to argue. Maybe this fella, di Stefano- the original Alfredo.

A very good list. Chris Paterson could kick goals in his sleep. Place the ball, have a squint at the posts and pop it over. No weird gyrations or facial contortions like most other kickers. Sandy Lyle if you’re talking golf-sticks?

Blackburn Rovers lose on penalties to Newcastle United. 1-1 after ninety minutes in a good old fashioned FA cup tie between two proper clubs and no drums.

Johnny Little torpedoes Aberdeen’s Paddy Buckley.

Did it take as long as 15 minutes? In 1967 Alexiei Kosygin visited Rugby Park to cheer on the Rangers. At the time he held high office in the Soviet Union most notably General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Kremlin (Commies Loyal) RSC.

Two in one go. A better picture of Willie Rae as he makes sure Alfie Conn of the Hearts doesn’t get near George Niven. (That Alfie is of course oor Alfie’s dad)

And his captain, John Cumming.

In the days before TV, listening to radio commentary by Raymond Glendenning with inter-round summaries by J Barrington-Dalby, fighters always seemed to come from Poplar, or Stepney, Glasgow, Liverpool, or Tiger Bay in Cardiff. I used to think you had to be a docker before starting boxing. Here’s another fighter. One of the best. Sammy Cox the Darvel Marvel.

Yeah but would they have taken five off the Hearts?

Randolph Turpin beating Sugar Ray Robinson (the real one) in a World Title fight.

Expect a visit from the witchdoctor police. Chicken bones lobbed through your windaes, I expect..

Mighty Welshman, John Charles. £100M starting price by today’s values.

Maxie Murray oft maligned frequently by me but on a goals to games ratio he’s sixth top Rangers striker.

Playing for Manchester United. He played and scored for Boro in a 6-6 friendly with Hibs at Easter Road. Joe Baker got three and Willie Fernie (booo) two for Boro.
