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. 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. 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. Davie Cooper was an immensely elegant winger who thrilled Rangers supporters for 12 years with his creativity. The forward even dazzled his opponents as Dutch hero Ruud Gullit named Cooper in his ‘Perfect XI’ in 2007. They had met as Rangers and Feyenoord played a friendly.

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.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. SUBS: Carroll, Arveladze, Wallace, Jelavic, Boyd, Vignal, Hendry, Rae, Albertz, Lovenkrands, Andrews, Johansson, Cousin, Beattie Jermaine Defoe put in a man of the match performance but it wasn't enough for the Rangers Legends to see off a World XI. FOLLOWING a hugely successful Weekend of Legends last season, Rangers are delighted to announce that the Weekend of Legends II, presented in partnership with 5 Stars, will take place in March 2023. Rangers then opened the scoring just short of the quarter of an hour mark. Alan Hutton played a delightful cross into the path of Jermain Defoe and, in typical fashion, he was ice cold in front of goal as he took the ball out of the air with his left foot before chipping the ball over David James from close range to put the Gers ahead.

A team of club legends took on a Rest of the World select and served up a feast of football in the Glasgow sunshine. 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. World football icon Luís Figo will captain a phenomenal array of talent at Ibrox for an unforgettable game against a Rangers Legends team on Saturday, March 26 at 3pm, before a special dinner takes place on the evening of March 26. Greig established himself firmly as a Rangers legend during a storied spell at Ibrox from 1961 to 1978. The defender graduated from Rangers’ academy and helped the Glasgow giants go on to lift several trophies. He would eventually retire as a five-time Scottish top-flight winner.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. 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. 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. 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.

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. 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.” WORLD LEGENDS: James, Huth, Stam, Dawson, Chimbonda, Essien, Petit, Downing, Wilshere, Van Persie, Yakubu 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.RANGERS LEGENDS: Waterreus, Papac, Alves, Amoruso, Hutton, Ferguson, Mendes, McCann, De Boer, Defoe, Miller 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. Rangers’ First Team Coach Roy Makaay will also join the occasion by playing for the World Legends team and sampling a taste of what’s sure to be a sell-out Ibrox as a player.
