Rousseau 9,284 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I'm trying to foster a wee bit of discussion in this quiet spell. What is the best Rangers XI? The team has to be comprised of the best players in those positions - you can't just stick Gough, Butcher, Weir and Amoruso etc. in a back four! You can choose your own formation, but the players need to fit into that formation - so, having McCoist as a lone striker would perhaps not work as well as having him playing alongside Hateley, for example. It will inevitable be limited to players of 'your generation'. Mine would be (4-2-3-1): McGregor Hutton - Weir - Amoruso - Van Bronckhorst Ferguson - Hemdani Laudrup - DeBoer - Albertz Wallace I went with Wallace because I think the formation requires someone with a bit of pace and movement. I loved Mols, but I don't think he can play on his own. Not sure about Albertz wide Left, though. I wanted a bit of bite and control in the middle, so I went with Hemdani, but I could move Albertz back and go with McCann or Kanchelskis wide left. DeBoer just shades Windass... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 9,284 Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 I would've liked Souness in my team. Can Mols play on his own up top? Numan over Van Bronckhorst is interesting. Numan is the better defender, I suppose. I want my Full-backs high and wide! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be close to my team too - very strong team. I would probably replace Ferguson with Gazza though.... and I would love to squeeze Mols into that team as I thought he was a fantastic striker - but I don't think he would work well with McCoist and how do you drop our higest ever goalscorer ? Loved Albertz but would also consider Neil McCann on the left hand side - he as a fine, fine player too. Would maybe have Kevin Thomson instead of Van Bronkhorst (that one specifically for you Rousseau) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
