2003 League Cup final highlights popped up on my socials this morning, some very attractive football being played (McLeish manager). What's the opinion of you guys as to which manager (any era) got us playing the most attractive free flowing football? Just a bit of fun.

The Little General hands down π¬π§.

Fourlads, he's my choice also!. Can't remember which year (2000 I think) but always remember the match at Dens Park, 6-0(to us) at half-time with a wee Rod Wallace hat trick , he was some player! One of the best 45mins I can remember. Although we took the foot off the gas second half(felt sorry for themπ
).

We felt we could beat anyone under him π¬π§.

I remember we destroyed Kilmarnock 5-0 at Rugby Park under advocaat and the football we played that evening was sensational π²πWe played with our fantastic two wingers that evening, kanchelskis on the right and mccann on the left and both were unplayable and ripped killie apart ππ¬π§.

Definitely Advocaats team which given the money he spent was not surprising , but a shout out to big Jocks second treble team with the forward line of McLean , Russell , Johnstone , Smith and Cooper who played some good stuff , McLeishs team that won the first helicopter Sunday , who scored over 100 goals that season to put us ahead on G.
D and goals scored . Canniggia , De, Boer , Mols , Arveladze , Arteta , McCann etc and for all his pragmatism at times Walters team ended up with Laudrup , Gasgoigne . Miko , Durrant , Albertz and others , they could play some great stuff too. Great days.

Wee McCann. He is a great lad. Took some pelters off us when he first signed π€£π€£π¬π§.

It's crazy seeing the names of some of the players we all had the pleasure of seeing gracing the Ibrox turf! Even crazier that someone who played with some of them on the pitch has responded to my postπ€―(pinch myself momentπ
). Thank you!

Can't beat a bit of nostalgia guysπ
. Hopefully the young Gers fans of today will get the chance to reflect back in their latter years and do the sameπ€π» WATPβ€οΈπ€π.

That's what it's all about RWN. Kids can be anything they want to be as long as they put there mind to it and they are actively encouraged. They are our future π¬π§.

How good was our right winger andrei kanchelskis guys π²ππ¬π§.

The players we had in the squad made it a lot easier for the little general to play decent football to be fair.

4lads, if you don't mind me asking. Why did it go wrong for Advocaat in the end. At time talk of splits and cliques in the camp. I remember him being interviewed about and he came out with a comment about something was going on in the background in an accusatory way and that all would be revealed.
Unless I missed it . Was always curious what happened.
11 Nov 2026 15:27:04
SWS, you certainly like your wingers! Have to agree though, Kanchelskis was a class act. Had a poster of him standing on the ball and saluting the crowd during the cup semi-final on my bedroom wallπ
. Showboating at its finest, the fact he followed it up with a wee one-two with Reyna before setting up Dodds for the 4th goal made it all the more finerπ.

Advocaat was a very good man manager however he was much different to the gaffer. He wanted a disciplined set up with his own players brought in to help Rangers succeed. He achieved that instantly before he lost certain players. I don't want to get too much in to that as I am a great believer of what happens in the dressing room stays there ππ»π¬π§.

Fair enough 4L. Cheers for the reply.
