Rangers v Aberdeen - 20 Years Ago Today

Hard to believe this was 2 decades ago but it sure was.

Although not our best team over the years; when you have a midfield of Kanchelskis, Ferguson, Gio & Albertz, then you are always going to present problems.

For me that day - Kanchelskis was nigh on unplayable at times. He ripped their backs a treat!

Oh well - perhaps those days will return but I very much doubt it looking to the future.

What a midfield.

Would give my right bo1lock for one half as good as that nowadays.

Aye - they were the halcyon days.

Our current midfield desperately needs a Barry Ferguson in there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agree with that.

Need someone who can dictate a game on his own.

We might get a ferguson rather different from his uncle though.

Not sold at all on his nephew mate.

Sure he has the odd good game in 3-5 but not good enough for Rangers at this moment in his career.

He wouldn't allow any slack-ersed defending or gifting the ball away either. They would get the rocket of all rockets up their erses.

When the chips were down - he would always drag the team over the line by hook or by crook.

I liked Barry, but was he not labelled the crab by critics, for sideways passing?

Forgot to say, sorry for claiming a Rangers three in a row in Skol finals during late eighties.....my memory is shot, man.

It's nice to look back on the hay days, but Gerard needs to be realistic for your club.

Your days of buying established players of the highest calibre are behind you for now, and a long way off in your future. Kent is an example of not being realistic. For his price you might have had 2-3 prospects in your squad.


The tables will eventually turn and buying a creative mid is a positive step towards that. Enjoy this moment. Could be a star for you one day.

I’ve lost count on the number of prospects Celtic have bought in the past 20 or so years and not all will work out. But when one does, It’s a good feeling. Keep in mind while Celtic fans have only known success in recent times, most of us are old enough to remember Rangers successes too.

It took a long time to turn the tide and it can begin with a creative mid. So cut the guy some slack.
