Glasgow Rangers Legends 2023 Calendar

Product Information

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. I’m looking forward to captaining a team that will include former World Cup, Champions League and Ballon D’Or winners and best of all, the weekend will raise important funds for my foundation which supports children around the globe.” Duncan Ferguson stuns Sheffield Wednesday for first Forest Green Rovers win as he vows they CAN beat the drop It was a great day for the fans, charity game, and an amazing turnout. I really enjoyed it. It meant a lot to play in front of the fans again because to be totally honest I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye when I left. It was a day of celebration at Ibrox as the highlight of Rangers' 150th anniversary events finally arrived.

Rangers recognised Tavernier, plus fellow modern-day legends Allan McGregor and Steven Davis, for their iconic contributions. Tavernier joined the club whilst they were competing in the Scottish Championship and helped to secure the title in his debut campaign at the club.Jermaine Defoe in particular has lost none of his striker’s instinct, albeit he’s only recently retired, as he scored a double and Kris Boyd was also on the scoresheet for a team of Rangers Legends. Tavernier has served the Gers with distinction since arriving in Glasgow to amass more than 390 appearances. He has also offered the Premiership giants treble-digit hauls of goals and assists across all competitions. While Rangers inducted him into their Hall of Fame in 2023.

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.”It is the second year the event has been hosted in Govan. Last year, the Ibrox favourites from yesteryear took on a team led by Luis Figo. The visitors narrowly won 3-2, with Shota Arveladze netting before an emotional late goal from Paul Gascoigne received a big response from fans. Former Porto and Portugal star Ricardo Quaresma got the winner after Carlos Marchena and Nuno Gomes also hit the target.

Playing for Rangers was one of the highlights of my career so it is always a privilege to relive that experience and to do so for a match celebrating our 150th anniversary makes it even more special. His 15 years at Ibrox further returned a staggering 20 major honours with 10 top-flight titles. McCoist helped to make Rangers the all-conquering force in Scotland from the mid-1980s to the late-1990s. His haul of winners’ medals featured nine League Cups and a Scottish Cup. Souness was confident in Ferguson being a success in England as he had taken up Rangers’ captaincy at only 22 years old. He also won the SFWA Player of the Year award in 1999/2000 and 2002/03. The final year of Ferguson’s first spell at Ibrox also saw Rangers win the treble.

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. 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.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. Gough helped Rangers win each of their nine-in-a-row league titles, alongside three Scottish Cups and six League Cups. While the Scottish Football Writers’ Association even named him as its Player of the Year in 1988/89. A Gers player had not won the SFWA title since 1977/78.

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. Some of those on show still looked in decent shape. Defoe and Van Persie, for example, were sharp and bright and both took their goals with the quality that they were famed for during their careers. 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.Rangers even enjoyed their only European success so far during Greig’s spell as their captain. Their six-time Scottish Cup winner lifted the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1971/72. He was also regularly a forceful presence and a true leader of men to see the Gers win three trebles.
