Bill 13,717 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 After Tavernier scored I got involved in a conversation about other Rangers captains who had been regular penalty takers. The question was asked if Greig had taken penalties and for the life of me I couldn’t remember if he did or not. I have a vague notion that he did at one point but maybe there are better memories around than mine????? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I am not sure for how long but he did take them. From what I remember is his last one almost ended up on the roof of the stand. He decided to go for power and he got power. Unfortunately it rose quicker than Apollo 13? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Dynamo 128 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 He defo did, I've seen footage on the Rangers Archives pages on facebook of him taking them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,170 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 He did but not as the main chap. Scored a good few free kicks from distance. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I have just read he scored 120 goals. That is really incredable for mostly defensive player. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 Thanks for the info. I remember seeing him score some amazing goals from free kicks but I’ll never forget him score a rocket headed goal from about 25 yards out... might have been Pittodrie. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose in the modern terms he would be classed as an attacking midfielder. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,808 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Sandy Jardine and Alex Miller were penalty kick takers in the latter stages of Greigs playing career. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
les186 271 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 He started off as an inside right in a 2-3-5 formation and scored a lot of goals but no penalties as I remember. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
