Hi guys wanted to ask if anyone had a hood or strange encounter with a rangers player/ coach. I'll start, I was flying to Faro one year and recognised a certain super Ally on the same plane. Then I was going back to Faro the next year and not only saw Ally before we took off but also walked by Big Eck.

I sat beside Michael Mols on my stag flight to Amsterdam. All 11 of my companions behaved and I was blown away.

Cooper1872,
I remember bumping into the great Davie Cooper while delivering beer to di maggios restaurant in Hamilton.
He was outside chatting to someone when we pulled up.
It was around 1992 and he must have been at Motherwell as he was with Luc Niholt and Luc was driving a wee Peugeot that was in Motherwell team colours with the Motherwell Crest on it.
I was chuffed to bits but to be honest Coops wasnt too pleased that I asked for autograph.
Must have had a bad day at the bookies. 💙
I was 16 at the time 🤣🤣.

I had 2, one was on a flight to Birmingham where Eck was sitting next to me, he had left rangers at that point and I asked who his best signing was, he said Boyd without a doubt, had everything and could finish with both feet and a great header of the ball. “If only he had a burst of pace “ he said. He laughed when I replied if he had a burst of pace you wouldn’t have signed him from killie for 400k! Best bit was when he told me on European nights he used to drive slowly past Ibrox with the windows down listening to the fans inside the stadium.
Other one was when I was the lounge at Barbados airport 6 yrs ago, was a total gentleman!

Cooper u remind me of being in Villarreal with goram and roberts. We were sat in Spanish end, and this Spanish lad was beating a big drum constantly. Roberts takes the drumstick and launched it into next week.
Que some very unhappy locals, and it’s getting feisty between roberts and the drummer
Subddenly about twenty lads wearing east Belfast rangers supporters club polo shirts joined in.
Fortunately drummer saw errors of his ways.
Roberts says to Belfast boys I’d have managed myself but thanks anyway.
5.) 03 Jan 2021 21:18:13
John25 sounds like a great night haha!
6.) 03 Jan 2021 21:40:25
We got knocked out that night. Honestly when Belfast boys joined in I was worried I’d be in jail great boys so they were.
7.) 04 Jan 2021 00:43:25
Bluebell Andy, I too used to deliver beer, I'd meet a few of the players in hardies bar hamilton, can back you up and say cooper although one of my heroes, was never good at talking, ally mcoist even apologised to me for him.
01 Jan 2021 21:59:36
Hello bears just a bit of fun before the game tomorrow, if you had to bring back any rangers player ever in their prime to play the game, who would it be?
1.) 02 Jan 2021 00:45:47
Richard Gough.
2.) 02 Jan 2021 00:57:26
Gasgoine on left of our middle 3 to replace arfield ðŸ‘.
3.) 02 Jan 2021 00:57:43
Also great question mate.
4.) 02 Jan 2021 01:56:10
Paul Gascoigne.
5.) 02 Jan 2021 02:30:44
Gazza.
6.) 02 Jan 2021 04:49:44
Graeme Souness. Widely overlooked when talking about our greatest. World class!
7.) 02 Jan 2021 06:46:23
Brian Laudrup.
8.) 02 Jan 2021 07:33:25
Great pass time question COOPER1872,
For me it would be the Great Dane Brian Laudrup.
He would definitely tear there defence a new one.
He probably still could as he still looks fit enough at the moment.
Total professional who has looked after himself all these years.
🔴⚪🔵.

Mark Hatelay to get on the crosses that come into the box.
10.) 02 Jan 2021 09:54:09
Ted McMinn.
11.) 02 Jan 2021 10:26:17
Great answers, I’d go with the Great Dane myself. Hopefully though we won’t need them and the players make themselves legends today, c'mon THE FAMOUS!
02 Jun 2020 10:37:45
I see scumdee utd have said they'd listen to offers for Shankland, personally I'd love to see him at Ibrox. He's got great finishing so if the service is there he will score at least 15-20 goals.
1.) 02 Jun 2020 10:45:09
So did Nicky Clark at a lower level and thay didn't work out. Don't have anything against Shankland but I can't see how he gets minutes ahead of Morelos or Defoe just now.
2.) 02 Jun 2020 11:42:26
If morelos gets injured or suspended I'm sure Shankland would be doing everything to make a name for himself not many people want to give him the chance.
Shankland ain't nick Clarke or ally Mccoist he's Lawrence Shankland and I hope that name doesn't come back to haunt us. Just saying.
3.) 02 Jun 2020 11:48:31
It good enough for us and I’d be very unhappy if we wasted money on him.
4.) 02 Jun 2020 12:18:10
Forget nicky clark mate. Because nicky clark failed to make the step up to rangers, doesn't mean lawrence shankland can't! Football just doesn't work like your assumptions Ger88,ie. if one player doesn't make it at rangers then that's a guarantee that another striker won't make it.
How do you, me or anyone know for definitely that shankland won't go on to be the next ally mccoist? You don't know and i think we just can't afford to miss out on shankland as i think this guy will be better than clark and i rate him as a terrific finisher with both feet and his head.
5.) 02 Jun 2020 12:19:10
Ger 88,morelos won't be with us shortly my friend.
6.) 02 Jun 2020 12:43:28
Good point sgl.
7.) 02 Jun 2020 12:48:12
We should of got Shankland from Ayr UTD fir nowt.
8.) 02 Jun 2020 13:26:31
I recon if we played to Shankland s strengths he would score for fun. But fans would also have to realise he’s a different type of striker than Morelos. Would probably be a wee gamble but I think he’d do well if we played to his strengths. Only thing is, I’d hate to give them a penny.
9.) 02 Jun 2020 13:54:42
bgate w I also hate to give them a penny, but I also don't want to cut of my nose to spite my face. I have been battering on about shankland's goal scoring exploits on here for months, and we should give the lad a chance, but the only person who is also seems able to see through the mist is SGL. As I said on a previous post, I used to watch the late great DAVIE COOPER when he played for Clydebank. If we had followed the same logic of HE PLAYS FOR A SO CALLED LESSER TEAM so we can't take a chance we would never have signed him. I am not remotely trying to compare Shankland with Davie Cooper, but the same logic applies. GIVE THE GUY A CHANCE TO SHOW WHAT HE CAN DO.
10.) 02 Jun 2020 14:05:07
Nicky Clarke also didn't have Kent, Tav, Hagi, Barisic, feeding him. The boy might have done better if he had.
11.) 02 Jun 2020 14:14:27
I think most people’s real problem with Shankland is that we know we could have had him for free last year and it would have been a reasonable gamble to take giving him a contract, however this sticks in peoples throats now with the thought of that gamble having a 1-1.5m fee on top when we could have had him. I personally wanted him last year but I am against paying for him now.
12.) 02 Jun 2020 14:36:50
Stephen Dobbie was a prolific goalscorer in that division his whole career and also played at a higher level down South.
Would you have paid £1 million for him 2 years ago when he out scored Shankland?
Shankland was a no risk gamble on a free - now at the price Scumdee Utd will probably demand it isn't worth it.
And in my opinion Shankland isn't good enough anyway. ðŸ‘.
13.) 02 Jun 2020 15:08:35
So if steven gerrard thought he was even better now and be the next scoring sensation in scotland, by your assumption coully, we shouldn't sign him because we would need to pay a very modest transfer fee? No chance mate. If the important people at rangers think shankland is the man, then go and get him signed. I would definitely like us to sign him!
14.) 02 Jun 2020 15:19:05
SGL as a matter of interest what do u value shankland and dykes at, I see both clubs say 2 million plus.
We scouted shankland at Ayr more than ten times and did not take him for nothing.
Makes me think we don’t rate him or we need to sack scouts.
I also think Taylor will be signed for nothing.
15.) 02 Jun 2020 16:00:00
I also think lyle taylor is a certainty to be signed by us, John25
Regarding shankland, i think the reason we've kept scouting him is monitoring his consistent improvement, each season mate, its a chance rangers are prepared to take because if we do move for shankland he'll most definitely want to come to us, as he's a massive rangers supporter. I think being honest shankland would now cost us around £2million because he's well under contract. I think we would get lyndon dykes cheaper at around £1million,
as he's going into the last year of his contract.
16.) 02 Jun 2020 16:48:58
Right, I would not pay two million for a player still playing in championship when we could have had him for nothing.
I’m told gerrard does not see him as a lone striker for us.
My research on Taylor could be a useful back up for little money in terms of wages
Being told two year deal.
17.) 02 Jun 2020 16:54:59
John25, I think Dundee United would be open to a player plus cash deal if we were interested, only problem I have, is, I don't know which player we would offer.
18.) 02 Jun 2020 17:26:44
anybody given any thought as to why scumdee are prepared to listen to offers for shankland, they have just been awarded promotion so it would be better to see how he does in the top league, i think they want to cash in on him for greed, rotten club with no ambition.
19.) 02 Jun 2020 17:26:55
John25 dykes is valued at £425k on transfermarkt obviously motherwell will try their paw abit.
But look at hagi deal we had set price but got cheaper due to the plummet in player values worldwide.
KPMG just did a audit on worldwide transfers/ players value etc and predict a 10 billion pound drop due to C. V. so good time to pick u a bargainðŸ‘.
20.) 02 Jun 2020 17:46:03
Guys there's a striker currently playing in belgium and his head at last seems to be in the right place again. He's very talented and his name is saido berahino and if gerrard could get his head right, he would be the one, no doubt about it, as he's a very talented striker.
21.) 02 Jun 2020 20:26:49
Instead of dykes, coop? ðŸ˜.
22.) 02 Jun 2020 21:14:09
Would take him as a punt on a free, expect utd will want more than I think we should pay with what will be a limited budget for transfers. Anything north of half a mill max not worth the risk and look elsewhere (that's being generous)
23.) 03 Jun 2020 00:01:48
Now, you have given shankland, dykes, berahino, and according to your guessing, Taylor is a certainty
How many more before the football starts mate,
24.) 03 Jun 2020 14:05:56
Ger4life, pay a couple of million for shankland, and if he gets a decent wage all the better, than he flops, what next, mate?
25.) 03 Jun 2020 21:22:47
Paulellen, pay a couple of million for Shankland and bangs them in left right and headers, what next mate.
You have no trust in the guy, I do.
But none of us know who is right or wrong. No one on this sit down and the theatre was packed every people might think they know, me included, that's our opinions.
26.) 03 Jun 2020 21:25:32
Paulellen,
Pay a couple of mil for Shankland and he bangs them in left right and headers, what next mate.
You don't know and I don't know, no one on this site knows if he's good or poor. People think they know me included but we don't.
My opinion is we should have got him b4 dundee utd, but would still take him now.
Respect. 😊.
04 Aug 2020 15:54:40
Agree would rather get the other boy than Zungu, however if he does join hope he turns out brilliant.
04 Aug 2020 14:31:54
Looks like Itten is on his way to Glasgow too, wouldn’t normally believe it but it’s the same articles that reported Roofe to sign aswell.
03 Jan 2021 21:18:13
John25 sounds like a great night haha!
