Zikos, how about the guy with the Govan Stand named after him, the great Sandy Jardine, Alex Clelland wasn't a bad full back either, just an opinion.

Irvnger - unfortunately I never got to see the great man play at Rangers. I can vaguely remember him playing for Hearts. How about from Souness era onwards?

Gary Stevens was a brilliant rb I also liked porrini and Alan Hutton was a good player considering he was a youngster when he left us. Never mind RB we could do with numan papac at LB I also thought davie Robertson was a quality LB only for injury to blight his career!

Sandy Jardine best by a mile. Many others better than Tav as most could defend.
In recent times our best right back was Whittaker who could score from open play regularly.

Never seen jardine play so just going by what players I’ve seen. Gary Stevens the first 1 I remember. Used to get the video at the end of each season. 40 caps for England as well. woods, butcher, Stevens, Trevor Steven, Roberts and ray Wilkins goodness me what a team.

Jboy can’t agree with you on Whittaker, lost count of the times he got dispossessed trying to dribble past someone which then led to conceding a goal. Another player (like Ricksen) that played better in Midfield. Would rather Tav than Whittaker all day long.
What is interesting is we can only quote a rangers legend in Jardin or an English international as being preferred to Tav - yet most on here slate him most weeks?

I remember Alex Clelland getting torn a new one by Alessandro Del Pierro - he was a utility man at best, but he played a big part in 9 in a row.

David Robertson was a class act - him and Laudrup teaming up down the wing.

Jboy your just blurting our names now. Whittaker - constantly gave away possession. Porrini - technically very good but no pace. Moore (my favourite Rangers player of all time) was terrible under air Walter at rb. Only when he left and Advocaat brought him back as a cb he was immense. Reyna and Gattuso never played rb. Which takes me back to my point about Jardine and Stevens.
We need to go back to a couple of legends to find a better rb than Tav!
I suppose the real question is if we want a defender who defends, doesn’t put a foot wrong like a Porrini. Or someone that attacks and presses and influences the game in the opposition half. I think most managers nowadays prefers the latter.
