Glasgow Rangers Legends 2023 Calendar

Product Information

Ex-Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler managed the World XI which featured stars such as Jaap Stam, Michael Essien, Emmanuel Petit, Yakubu and Georgi Kinkladze. For Rangers Lorenzo Amoruso, Bruno Alves, Alan Hutton, Pedro Mendes, Ronald De Boer and Kenny Miller pulled on the blue jersey again for the occasion. No sooner in the contest it was all-square at three-a-piece. Defoe this time linked up with Kris Boyd who appeared as a half-time substitute and, after finding himself in the area, he saw his initial strike kept out well before smashing in the rebound from the angle as the Ibrox faithful saw a sixth goal on the day. Okay, they might have lost a yard of pace - they’re not quite at the walking football stage yet - and gained a few inches around the waistline but plenty showed they still have the quality. There would have been several thousands in the stands who were not even born when those on the park were in their pomp at Ibrox. This was still a day for supporters young and old to enjoy, however, as some of the greats of yesteryear pulled on their boots once again.

Alex McLeish was in the dug-out for the Light Blues with Robbie Fowler taking charge of the visitors but charity was the real winner on the day with a crowd of around 30,000 turning out. On Sunday March 26, a star-studded Rangers Legends squad will play a World Legends squad full of global talent at Ibrox stadium at 2pm. Gazza was brought on for a late cameo and the opposition stood aside to allow the Englishman to notch a goal to give the crowd something to remember. SUBS: Carroll, Arveladze, Wallace, Jelavic, Boyd, Vignal, Hendry, Rae, Albertz, Lovenkrands, Andrews, Johansson, Cousin, Beattie Injuries and poor form would blight his final days in Glasgow as they had in Rome. But the larger-than-life character announced himself as a future Rangers legend in the only suitable way by ending a lung-busting run from his own box to meet McCoist’s cross and beat Celtic.

The squads

Gascoigne only had a brief stay in Glasgow but left more than a mark on the Gers’ history. He helped the Gers claim two top-flight trophies and lift a Scottish Cup before making a move to Middlesbrough. While his icon at Ibrox began from the first day he walked through the door. One day with Smith was enough to convince future Rangers legend Paul Gascoigne to move to Ibrox from Lazio. He was one of the most naturally gifted Englishmen of all time and chose to join the Gers for his return to Britain in 1995. The next three years were the stuff of icons. At 31, it was perhaps no surprise that Wilshere still looked the part. It was a shame in some regards and a harsh reminder of the toll that injuries had taken on the former Arsenal playmaker. The term ‘legend’ is often overused in the game today and that was perhaps the case, with all due respect, for some of those in both sides but the Rangers team – skippered by a true great in Barry Ferguson – still had multiple medals on their respective records.

MORE RANGERS STORIES

A consummate professional, Richard Gough became a Rangers legend over his two stints at Ibrox. The defender briefly departed the Glasgow giants after a decade in 1997 to try his skill in America with Kansas City Wizards. But he would return to Ibrox to enjoy one more season. Barry Ferguson can’t wait to return as captain and said: “Everyone knows how much I love the club so to have the opportunity to lead the Rangers Legends team as Captain is an honour and I can’t wait to play again in front of the fans.” Rangers have enjoyed the services of numerous legendary goalkeepers over the years but no shot-stopper can overshadow ‘The Goalie’, Andy Goram. He featured 260 times for the Gers from 1991 to 1998 and touched five league titles, three Scottish Cups and two League Cups. The away side equalised through the Dutchman as Stewart Downing played a left-footed delivery from the right channel and the former Manchester United man glanced his header beyond Waterreus to level up proceedings at Ibrox. As part of the match, Rangers will proudly make a donation to the Luís Figo Foundation, which was established in 2003 to support education, health and sports for children and young people across the world.
