Parlane ? (mmmm) super Ally mark Hatley Souness, the Goalie......but there's a host of others like Papac, Dave Smith, Ronnie McKinnon where are they in the grand scheme of things maybe we could post a legend I missed and one who nearly made it.... what's the criteria for a legend ? The criteria Colin seems to be - free on a Saturday. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 right so everybody who's played for us is a legend....I'll buy that how did I forget Sandy though...or Davie Cooper.... Jim Forrest ? star burned brightly for a short time.....Marco Negri...sensational 6 months and those players I've never seen but read about 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMc 2,483 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 It would be interesting, but probably impossible, to define a 'legend'. By most measures Barry ferguson is a club legend, yet I'd wager quite a few would be unhappy to describe him as that. Is Mo Johnston a legend? What about Gazza or Brian Laudrup? (Did you know Brian Laudrup was actually Austrian by birth? I didn't know that until very recently). You have to have done something exceptional to achieve legend status. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I've always hated the term "legend". It's at the same time meaningless and almost always misused. No one can agree on what it means or who it should be applied to. I cringe whenever I hear a player or manager being called a "Rangers legend". 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 you could apply that to our 3 european finalist teams so Roger hynd would be a legend........I agree but it's a bit unfair on those better footballers who never played in them. his goal should have stood..no doubt by the way 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Legend fits into the same debate as 'World Class' and 'Big Club'.....there is no exact meaning or fixed criteria and it comes down to opinion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th of foot 5,856 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Three Colin? Four I think you mean. Five, including the first ever European Super Cup between Rangers and Ajax(two legged), lost 3-6. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
