Well Jim Spence asked which were clubs best bargain buys, I answered saying James Robertson for Falkirk FC [of course] then I asked him not to just talk about Old Firm players of the last 25 years as we have a long history of good football up here [it could be argued we are at our lowest ebb] https://twitter.com/John_Meffen/status/ ... 9240235008
You will never guess what happened, Lubomir Moravcik, Henrik Larsson & David Weir were mentioned
I seriously f*****g despair

Re: RScotland
The first two certainly were. Weir was a very good player but played for too many clubs to be considered a special bargain for any of them. As far as Rangers are concerned the best bargain for me goes back to Alex McDonald. Fifty grand got them thirteen years, 500 appearances and almost 100 goals. Value for money in anyone's language.
Re: RScotland
TBH Jim Spence got back to me on twitter, he doesn't like it either, but the paymaster is the paymaster.
Re: RScotland
Depends what you call a transfer, if you signed a player from a junior club you still paid a transfer fee unless the player was an amateur with the junior club and if that was the case then off the top of my head ,players like, Pat Stanton , Paul Sturrock spring to mind, provided they were on proffesional forms at their junior club. They would certainly be classed as bargains. (oops I forgot Stanton played for Celtic ).

I've been saying for years that Wee Doddie and Derek Johnstone carried the Blue Noses through the 1970s.

Re: RScotland
Never thought about it before but no wonder he preferred his nickname to first and middle ones. It would have been an embarrassment to have gone through school with that combination.Gorgiewave wrote: Willie Pullar?

Perhaps Davie Cooper comes close to those stats. (apologies to the OP for continuing down the OF line)scottish wrote:The first two certainly were.
