A question here bears. I was asked this question at work today by a fellow bluenose. Is ian durrant the greatest ever scottish based, attacking midfielder, to come through our ranks at rangers? My answer was yes without a 2nd thought. So i'll throw that same question to all you guys on here, what do you think and if you reckon he wasn't then who was in your opinion?

In that specific position then yes Durrant but complete midfielder it's Barry Ferguson for me.

Durrant defo, Barry ferguson no danger.

Durrant for me. I honestly think he would have been world class if that thug Simpson hadn't halved his leg.

Although i say durranty i do know where j1985 is coming from with his assessment of our great former captain barry ferguson. Amongst some of us rangers fans i honestly don't think baz gets the credit he deserves. Baz had it all as the complete midfielder and no opponent he ever faced, no matter how big a name he had, could ever faze barry.
His ability to take balls in tight situations and make space for himself was quite extraordinary imo. He was the best scottish midfielder to come out of scotland over the last 20 years or so. Barry ferguson's ability to dictate the pace of a game was immense! A tremendous playmaker! The greatest of his generation bar none!

Supercooper, durrant was the best footballer to come through, that's my opinion as well, though every time i hear his name i think of that fecking tackle, absoluotly no need for the serious assault on durrant, i also think of john kennedy, as much the same happened to him, we all know its a contact sport, but tackles like these (deliberate) ) should result in a sin died for ever.
i'm sure if such tackled resulted in being sin binned, most players would stop such tackles, they would only need to think about life back on a building site, or an office job (wages/ strugling to get by to let them know they've got it easy playing a game they enjoy, durrant and kennedy both got stopped from enjoying there work by brutes that probably wouldn't say boo to anybody in the street.

ferguson is the only midfielder of the past 20 years to play with his head up.

First saw Durrant in a reserve match when he was just a boy and the strip looked too big for him but from his first touch you knew he was first team material. First saw Ferguson in a BP under 17 final (i think) against Hearts and we lost 3-1 (I think) but Ferguson was the outstanding player by far on the pitch but Durrant shaves it for me.

Clearly none of you remember st mirren legend Mark Yardley. Better than Pele.

Big spare tyres Yardley lol. My dad Loved durrant n said he would have been world class if that thug hadn't done him he would have went right to the top, I was very young but have watched dvd etc of him n looked special, got to say Ferguson tho carried us at times.
