Thought it strange mccoist worrying about the legendary status of Barry Ferguson and the reception he will receive at Ibrox tomorrow night after the the so called booze gate scandal, I shouldn't worry yourself about wee Barry he'll be fine his status is pretty much intact, what you should do is take a long hard look in the mirror and think what am I doing to my legendary status. As a striker there weren't many better, as a manager there aren't to many worse.

Agree with nearly all of your post however the part about there weren't many better as a striker? Ally was a great striker for Rangers but wasn't a world class striker and there were plenty much better than him who performed on a bigger stage

Both r legends! Both rangers greats, loved ferguson as a player, loved his attitude both on the park and off it, regardless what he done, rangers through & through, still is, mcCoist status will NEVER change in my eyes as well, he's not the best of managers, but he's put up with a lot, and he's done up to now what he said he was goney do, get us back to where we belong! The SPL, he's doing that, at this moment, it's not been great, we all no that, but he's only human, his first managerial job, he's a strong minded man with a great mental state, there nights a can't sleep at night with all the crap in the papers, but that guys always the same week in week out day in day out, great mentality! WATP

"Wee Barry" a legend?. GTF. I seem to remember Walter Smith showing him the exit door after he embarrassed and let down our once proud institution. Oh and I don't remember him rushing to pay back the £1m EBT. but perhaps I am missing something. Always seemed to me like a player who thought he was better than he actually was. In the late 1990s both Steven Gerrard and BF looked like they had promising careers ahead. Only one of them ever fulfilled their dreaded "potential".

Cheers mate and good post

The remit for any Rangers manager is to build a team that is capable I challenging at the top and to improve the team. Are you seriously suggesting Ally has done this? Do you believe we will be able to challenge in the top division?

Re 2) here we go again with the old ''he has put up with a lot'' complete BS, you talk as if he did it out of the goodness of his heart for nothing. Re 4)Spot on.

Sorry Stewie canny have that. if you took away all ally's goals from 85-90 rangers would have been relegated. consistantly scored 30+ goals a season. yep missed probably more than he scored but what constitutes as world class. in my eyes probably not world class but he was definitely up there. still pis has a manager though.

@4 sort yourself out. Fergie was and is a rangers legend. And ebt's were murrys fault, not the players, please understand this!

If not players fault? they will all have no problem paying the money back? and help pay the people we are still owe money too.
That would be a good example from our ex players who didn't understand how they were getting paid? although they must have understood that it was a LOAN and as such has to be paid back?

@8

Messi, Ronaldo & Suarez to name but 3 world class strikers. Ally couldn't have laced their boots. Agree he was a great player for Rangers however it's all about putting his achievements into perspective

N6 stewie we best worry about challenging in the championship first imo

@9, can only assume you are relatively young if you think he is a legend, neither on or off the field can he compare with the wonderful players we have had the privilege to watch on field, and unlike him admire off the park also.

@10 the players (or their agents) agreed to a salary of £x,000 per week. Murray operated the EBT to make it cheaper for Rangers to pay the players the £x,000 they were contracted to earn. The 'loans' were not repayable. This is why HMRC closed the loophole.

@9 the legends I've watched at Ibrox. Cooper, McCoist, Gough definitely. Were Hately, Laudrup, Albertz, Numan etc there long enough to be legends? Possibly not. But I class Fergie as a legend, maybe because it's the best we've had for a while, and maybe because of the number of trophies he won as a player/captain. Remember how good he was in Advokaats team? The only thing that let him down was giving the fingers at the Scotland game, which was just daft.

Sorry, my last post should have been @13, not @9

Sg75 must agree mate barry ferguson was bossy yep but he gave his all for the jersey and tried to make sure the rest of the team done likewise
