Gersnet Rangers All-time XI | Final Team

[Scott7 5,168]

Vote of thanks to @Rousseau for a most interesting exercise producing an elected team of world beaters. I only picked Jardine, Greig, Baxter and Laudrup but my one real quibble with the majority is Robertson instead of Caldow. Caldow was world class. Robertson was only excellent.

 

My team:

Ritchie

Jardine, Young (Capt.)McKinnon, Caldow;

Greig, Durrant, Baxter;

Laudrup, Miller, Brand.

 

Subs: Goram, Stevens, Gough, McMillan, Henderson.

 

Manager, J Scotland Symon, Chief Coach, Walter Smith.

Motivation and Incentivisation Coaches, Jock Shaw and Bobby Shearer.

 

I’ll be changing my mind next week. I’m thinking McMillan for Durrant. I’ll stick with Millar and Brand but Stein and Forrest would be lethal.

[Gribz 743]

Ive made two changes from my votes, I went with Weir at the back instead of Cuellar (Also remembered I liked Craig Moore at centre half but only really had 1 top season).

Brought Barry Ferguson into midfield rather than Stuart McCall (With hindsight it could easily have been Ian Ferguson).

 

Goram 

 

Hutton Gough Weir Robertson

 

Laudrup Gascoigne B Ferguson Albertz

 

Hateley McCoist 

 

Bench: McGregor, Cuellar, I Ferguson, De Boer, Mols (Pre-injury).

Manager: I'd loved to have seen this team under Advocaat but it has to be Walter who's my greatest.

Damn but that's a very good team. However, I just couldn't bring myself to leave out Forrest and Henderson, two of the very best I ever saw and probably unequalled since. I already posted my team elsewhere ..... it's a little more "post-Symon" than yours. The player I most regret leaving out is probably Ralph Brand.

 

Laudrup - Forrest - Henderson

Baxter - I. Ferguson - A. MacDonald

Caldow - McKinnon - Gough - Greig

Goram

 

Subs: Billy Ritchie, Carlos Cuellar, Sandy Jardine, Derek Johnstone, Ralph Brand, Ally McCoist, Tommy McLean

Just about every selection in the topics is easily justified except for those which don’t have Caldow at left back. (He was also the best right back)

Amato an interesting choice. He was a very good player right enough. Instrumental in wining at least two games from losing positions.
