Ritchie, Shearer, Caldow; Greig, McKinnon, Baxter; Scott, McMillan, Miller, Brand Wilson.

How's that for a top Rangers XI?

Caldow is the best full back I've ever seen, bar Danny McGrain to be fair and honest. Slim Jim had no peers and the 'wee Prime Minister' was different class.

Memories!

Danny Mcgrain? Surely that's a joke?

Jyf, being totally honest here mate danny mcgrain was one helluva good full back! Scotland at the time of sandy jardine and danny mcgrain acomodated both of these full backs to get them in the scotland national team together. Both jardine and mcgrain were right backs but mcgrain was that good that scotland played him at left back allowing the also terrific sandy jardine to play in his familiar right back role with scotland.

Caldow for me all day long.

Caldow without a shadow of a doubt.

I thought Caldow was better as well tbh.

Agree with every word Doiger.

Doiger, that was my Fathers team who he talks about all the time and rhymes it of his tongue although he is 81 years of age. So total respect ✌️✌️🇬🇧🌈.

Danny McGrain was a world class full back although he was stronger at RB. I never saw Caldow play although I believe he was a true legend for us.

Caldow and McGrain, absolute class in their own ways, and both absolute gentlemen. Eric for me, as he was our Captain, although Danny would have been proud to have had that honour. Doiger for me Henderson instead of Scott, but what options. That is what you call class.

My late dad, god rest his soul was the same yately01, at rhyming that rangers team off his tongue at every turn mate!

McGrain had to play left back for Scotland because Jardine was a better right back.

That team actually only played together about a dozen times.

Danny Mcgrain 9 career goals, not such a good return if you ask me.

The covenanter, my understanding was scotland wanted to accommodate both jardine and mcgrain because they were that good. So as mcgrain was superb in both full back positions,
that was their way of having both playing for scotland mate. Lock stock and barrel in a nutshell.

Shows how good Caldow was he never was booked once in his whole career.

Coops is correct on McGrain/ Jardine. Loved Sandy Jardine but Danny McGrain was slightly ahead of him as a RB, and he was also good enough to play LB for his country.

Jardine all day long at right back, what are you basing Mcgrain being ahead Jardain on bankie, what stats are you using?

*Jardine*.

Jyf, only my opinion based on seeing them both play many times. Both were top class players.

Jardine and McGrain were word class players in that era, too many of the highly paid players get that title too easily nowadays.
