Tannochsidebear 2,316 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 While I bow to my elders who seen him play, I only remember Greig as an absolutely awful manager in the early 80’s. He had 5 seasons as manager after taking over a treble winning side and by the end of his reign we were 5th and were miles behind the bheasts, sheep, and Dundee Utd. 5 titles as a player in 17 years is not a good record either. Posted missing in our troubled years when Sandy Jardine stood tall and fought for us. Never quite understood the “greatest” tag if I’m honest, but again, I have spoken about him to older bears a few times who tell me it’s fitting. No idea why he has got this honour now but congratulations to him and his family, it’s always nice to see one of our own recognised on this scale. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,195 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Geordie Young won six in sixteen. Most of the time Greig was a player, celtic weren’t the only opposition. Motherwell, Hibs, Dunfermline, Dundee and Kilmarnock were all competitive. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes in those days it was about football and not money,players playing for the love of the game made for more competitive games. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uilleam 5,444 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Congratulations to John Greig, the man who was voted 'The Greatest Ranger', by supporters, people who knew -and some still know- what that term 'Ranger' meant. Personally, I think that he should have had a knighthood, and that some years ago. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
