Gersnet Rangers All-time XI | Day 9: Forwards


Recommended Posts

I can hardly believe I'm about to put McCoist back on the bench but for anyone who saw him Jim Forrest was peerless, an amazing goal scorer, like McCoist on steroids and on balance he gets my vote as the main striker. My remaining choice of forward is Brian Laudrup.

 

Brian Laudrup and Jim Forrest.

 

So, notwithstanding my original selections, the more I've thought about this team, the more I realise that it can only be done be leaving out some great players. On reflection, my all-time Rangers team is ........

 

Laudrup - Forrest - Henderson

Baxter - I. Ferguson - A. MacDonald

Caldow - McKinnon - Gough - Greig

Goram

 

An impassable defence, a phenomenally creative midfield and a devastating forward line.

 

 

On the bench ...... Billy Ritchie, Carlos Cuellar, Sandy Jardine, Derek Johnstone, Ralph Brand, Ally McCoist, Tommy McLean

I agree Ronnie McKinnon was a player and since he was born during the height of the Govan blitz he was a hardy bugger to boot. However, I suspect even Ronnie would find starting in central defence and sitting on the bench a demand too far?

Yep, that would indeed be a stretch. In editing one mistake I contrived to leave another behind. Sorted now.
