Greatest Rangers XI Of All Time
CM – Barry Ferguson
Ferguson was one of the greatest players to feature for Rangers in recent times. In the Heart of the midfield on his day Barry was one of the best midfielders to wear the number 6. With his vision and coolness, Barry was an asset to the midfield.
He totalled 431 games and 60 goals for Rangers, whom he captained from 2000. Ferguson won the Scottish Premier League, Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup five times apiece for Rangers, including a treble in 2003 which earned him the honour of SFWA Footballer of the Year. He also helped them to the 2008 UEFA Cup Final.
CM – Jim Baxter
Baxter quickly became the star of the Rangers side of the early 1960s which dominated Scottish football. He would only stay for five years but left with an everlasting impact.
The Scottish midfielder joined the club in 1960 for £17,500 and went on to win 10 trophies in the five years with the Rangers including 3 Scottish League First Division, 3 Scottish Cup, 4 Scottish League Cup.
He is also included in the Scottish Hall of Fame. He didn’t quite get the world-class career he potentially could have due to his gambling and drinking problems which forced him to retire at the age of only 31.
CAM – Brian Laudrup
Brian Laudrup is arguably the most famous foreigner to ever play for the Blues. Astonishing close control, vision and pinpoint accuracy meant that Laudrup took Rangers to another level. He could score with either foot, and it was his header that clinched 9 in a row.
The Danish attacking midfielder enjoyed four massively successful years at Rangers, including his masterful performance in the 1996 Scottish Cup Final where he scored two goals and set up three.
He was the complete master, terrifying defences any time he was near the ball. Opponents had no answer to his skills.
