A statement John made on another post has really got me thinking.
I attended The Greatest Ranger Dinner on Sunday 21st March 1999 at The Thistle Hotel Glasgow.
All the players present at the time and most of the past players attended.
They picked the Greatest ever team 1 to 11 and Greatest ever Ranger which of course was John Greg.
How would Tav fair in the Right back position.
Obviously Sandy Jardine, Gary Steven's,
David Robertson and Allan Hutton all superb right backs but let's be positive about Tav as he looks like leaving our wonderful club.
Where does he come in the list and how would he have fared if he had played in the great teams of the 90s.
I agree that now is a good time for Tav to move on but let's think on his contributions to our club over his time with us.
1.) 19 Jul 2024 21:25:51
He wouldn’t have got near our team back in the day.
2.) 19 Jul 2024 21:27:35
He'd be below all the above except Hutton, Robertson was a left back as well but tav if he goes ty for all the memories but rangers need move on and so does tav.
3.) 19 Jul 2024 21:28:02
Sorry by can't remember Robertson playing at right back even once.
4.) 19 Jul 2024 21:28:46
Davie robertson was a left back CO2?The best right back imo in a rangers jersey was gary stevens hands down for me ???.
5.) 19 Jul 2024 22:07:18
Alec cleland is in there for me anaw way porrini but Hutton was one ae the best right backs in the world for me for a couple seasons.
6.) 19 Jul 2024 22:17:43
Do we think most top ten right and left backs in the history of football are noted for their defeding or attacking. can't remember a sinlge tackle roberot carlos made but I do rememeber his goal.
7.) 19 Jul 2024 22:29:45
Wit lyk maldini Neville or walker the renowned goal scorers?
8.) 19 Jul 2024 22:40:24
Stand corrected, David Robertson left back.
9.) 19 Jul 2024 22:56:47
Agreed coops without a shadow of a doubt best right back I have seen.
10.) 19 Jul 2024 23:53:28
Short memories on here, Tavs record is tremendous ok getting on a bit and slowing down now but why are we ignoring his record over the years he slogged to get us back to where we belong and scored very Important goals. I do think he should go now as not the player he was but get a grip the guy has been a phenomenal player for us and I wish him all the best for the futere.
11.) 20 Jul 2024 00:11:07
Gary Stevens was a work of Art! World Class!
12.) 20 Jul 2024 01:43:59
Gary Stevens could of played for any team in the world, the original modern fullback.
13.) 20 Jul 2024 06:44:36
Stormtrooper1
Scot Nisbet got near our team so I think Tav would have also,
Playing alongside defenders like Richard Gough, I think you see a different Tav.
14.) 20 Jul 2024 07:13:43
Co2 the problem is a good rangers team wouldn’t feature tavernier so I don’t think if they were around playing at the same time you’d see tavernier and Gough in the same team for example.
15.) 20 Jul 2024 07:14:57
Agree with all posts about Gary Stevens, but for me it would be Sandy in Royal Blue.
16.) 20 Jul 2024 07:45:14
Agree re Gary stevens coopers
Orgy you r saying what I and many others r sasaying time to go,
17.) 20 Jul 2024 08:03:54
Big nizzy, what a guy, still some goal against Boavista if I mind right?.
18.) 20 Jul 2024 08:56:25
Think it was FC Bruges, Fork. Were we not playing with 10 men after big Hateley got sent off, controversially I think?
19.) 20 Jul 2024 10:27:09
Almost got to champ league final without McCoist an Hately playing together much in group stage if I remember right, Ian Ferguson, Stuart McCall centre mid a big Shirley playing out his skin at back, if ever the word no surrender was ever known for our team it was that year.
20.) 20 Jul 2024 10:41:50
Gary Steven’s was a great player in a really successful period for us, easy to look back fondly on those days. Tavernier has played in a really unsuccessful period for us and we are all sick to the back teeth with it so this clouds our judgement. Its time for him to go because sentiment should play no part in football decisions his best days are now behind him and this will be our only chance to get a few quid for him so of course we take it. As an attacking right back signed for 250k one of the best buys ever and I think peoples opinions will Change over time . I wish him well wherever he goes.
21.) 20 Jul 2024 12:38:30
Knew it began with a "B" Seeker, minds not what it used to be??.
22.) 20 Jul 2024 13:02:12
Tell me about it Fork ?.
11 May 2024 17:44:54
Very poor from Lundstrum today.
Can't argue with the result and we'll need to improve the quality of the squad or we'll be second again next season.
What's important now is to finish the season on a high beating then in the cup final, get our business done early in the transfer market and qualify for the Champions League.
Tick all them boxes and it's game on for next season.
1.) 11 May 2024 18:34:40
Calling it. he deliberately got sent off.
2.) 11 May 2024 19:17:58
stupid tackle in a nothing area of the pitch however no way he delibarately got sent off.
3.) 11 May 2024 19:43:21
Even if we hadn’t dropped
Points to Dundee and Ross County, I wouldn’t have seen us going to the “midden” and winning. Lack of desire, skill or “bottle”! Thought that when PC arrived in the scene he was the type of manager who wouldn’t stand for nonsense, seems he is softer than I thought.
4.) 11 May 2024 19:43:53
Deliberatly getting sent aff .,? . gie yer head a wabble . guy showed bit of Fight In the te tackle.
5.) 11 May 2024 20:47:56
You can call it all you like Paul but am calling it your talking BS.
6.) 11 May 2024 21:36:45
How on earth is flying into a tackle in an absolute nothing area of the pitch showing a bit of fight? I could fly in to stupid tackles like that all day it's very easy. By him showing a bit of fight as you say let his whole team/ fans/ boss down in biggest game of season. He lost control mentally.
7.) 11 May 2024 21:58:09
As a professional player he knew exactly what he was doing! You make a challenge like that in the first 10 minutes in an area of the park where it’s justified, btw you also keep your leading foot low to the ground. it was a shocking decision by Lunny and if he thought by making it he had redeemed his OG then he is even more deluded. Bye Lunny.
14 Apr 2024 14:38:38
I'm not giving up on this league as disappointing as today's result was.
There's way too much football to be played yet to start conceding titles.
It's still in our own hands which it wasn't at 3pm on helicopter Sunday.
Whatever happens in this title though we need to find a way in the close season to make necessary changes to the starting 11 starting with a quality Centre back and quality number 9 in my opinion priority.
1.) 14 Apr 2024 15:13:42
CO2, couldn't agree more, we need alert strikers not slo mo ditherers,
and as far as I'm concerned a completely new back four. Big Phil has done well to get this far after October and he will see as much as we do where changes are needed, would love to have heard him in the dressing room after the game.
2.) 14 Apr 2024 15:25:19
We have just handed them the exact boost they needed to steam roll their last 5 games. I understand your optimism especially as, if we do win the league, you get an "I told you so" moment.
13 Apr 2024 17:29:47
That's the teams in the split confirmed so the pressure off if Dens not playable on Wednesday.
If the pitch for any reason is not fit for purpose hopefully everyone just takes a deep breath and rearrange it without time pressure.
1.) 13 Apr 2024 19:22:48
I'll be fuming if that game doesn't go ahead for a 3rd time co2. It's not about the split mate couldn't care less about that, it's about the unnecessary pressure being put on us to play catch up, our loyal fans paying hard earned money for travel hotels etc. Seen one poster saying he's took time off work, travelled all way up there twice for it not to be on, said he wouldn't do it again, loyal fans being ? on, people like that I feel for. It's not just about rearranging and it's all OK, there's lots of different things to factor in.
2.) 13 Apr 2024 20:34:40
I wouldn't be surprised if they were docked points and don't make the top half.
3.) 13 Apr 2024 21:14:41
Bet we play Dundee away three times this season.
4.) 13 Apr 2024 21:19:02
Completely understand any decisions should be made early to save fans travelling,
I don't though want to risk the 3 points or player injury playing on the pitch If it’s not safe or playable.
5.) 13 Apr 2024 21:32:34
They can't be docked points under current league rules. These need changing at the end of this season and Dundee should be told if their pitch is not up to standard that they will be relegated.
09 Apr 2024 23:29:36
Did anyone else see that crazy handball in the Arsenal match tonight.
The ref blew the whistle and the Arsenal defender picked it up not realising the ball was in play.
The referee decided not to give a penalty and VAR appears not to get involved.
I don't know what to make of that except ref decided to ignore the rules to suit the situation.
Possibly he tried to even it up with the Arsenal penalty not given at the end of the match.
Absolute shambles and it's a champions league quarter final.
1.) 10 apr 2024 05:34:04
good to see a ref refuse to be fooled by the old “ stick your leg under his leg trick, saka cheated and was caught
he th3n showed his trye colours by chasing the ref around n, mainly that's done out of embarrassment, the ref was totally correct, when you pop your foot into a players legs it doesn't mean you were fouled, refs need to look out for that more and more,
22 Jul 2024 19:58:02
3m and some said he was finished as a player!
Seriously that would be a fantastic peace of business.
19 Jul 2024 18:58:17
Interestingly stats would suggest that last season alone it wasn’t our defensive record that lost us the league,
More the inability to break teams down, score goals and finish teams off.
19 Jul 2024 18:47:33
John,
Big statement,
Name the top 10 right backs you’ve seen that are ahead Tav please.
I’m not doubting your correct but interested nonetheless.
18 Jul 2024 22:49:25
If it’s Trabzonspor that he’s agreed a contract with, we should hold out for our full valuation before letting the deal go through.
I’d also note that he’d go with all my thanks for being such a wonderful player and captain throughout his time at our club.
16 Jul 2024 08:42:42
I agree with you Stewartyblue12,
I feel the state of play now is that we have brought players in to cover the spaces players out of contract left at the end of season after moving on.
It was easier and fits the model to bring in young players while the euros were on and window not fully open.
Players need to be moved on now before changes can be made.
1-2 experienced players and young talent that we can get our hands on if unwanted players can be moved on.
26 Jul 2024 19:58:39
Yes, Conner never once let us down and was always a model pro in my eyes. First pick CH when fit and he was fit most of the time he was with us.
One’s a Ranger always a Ranger and I for one will always welcome him back to visit our club whenever he so wishes.
26 Jul 2024 19:41:13
I’m happy for Wright to stay, as with the rest mentioned lacks composure with the final pass, cross or shot but either PC likes him or putting him in shop window. I think PC thinks he’s a good squad player that can be coached to improve.
24 Jul 2024 18:13:44
My worry is that Tav has not played in any pre season games yet so how match ready is he.
In my opinion and I understand others opinion will differ from this but yes we have to move him on and in doing so get a reasonable price for him.
In the event he’s still with us when Champions league qualifiers come around he has to be match ready to play his part.
Although maybe I worry needlessly and he is either definitely away or ready to play his part in what looks like to be a tough match against Kiev.
22 Jul 2024 21:01:51
Absolutely John, and I’m not sure the emotions from all in the stadium that night against Liepzig which added to the atmosphere can ever be replicated.
22 Jul 2024 19:38:30
Before anybody starts on me,
Absolutely nothing wrong with the club deck which I sat in for years as my family had 5 debenture seats,
I absolutely loved the Birds Eye view at the time.
