Rangers' Ultimate 25-Man Squad of the Modern Era

Despite the utter misery Rangers fans have had to endure over the course of the last decade, the Gers have still had some good times in the modern era and more than a few superstars pass through Ibrox

Before the turmoil of financial troubles and subsequent relegation, Rangers were worthy competitors - alongside Celtic - for the title of the best team in Scotland, often leaving their mark on various European competitions as well.

Rangers are the most decorated club in Scottish football, a feat that couldn't have been achieved without a number of the following servants. To clarify, we're looking at Rangers players from the 1990s to the present day.

Goalkeepers

Andy Goram - Spending seven years with Rangers in the 1990s, Goram amassed 10 domestic trophies, while also establishing himself as one of Scotland's greatest shot-stoppers of recent times and a firm fan favourite at Ibrox.

Allan McGregor - After enjoying his best days at Ibrox during his first stint at the club between 2001 and 2012, the Scotsman has since returned to Glasgow and is still an unquestionably important figure for the Light Blues, making over 300 appearances for the club.

Stefan Klos - Nicknamed 'Der Goalie', the German joined Rangers having recently won the Champions League with Borussia Dortmund. It didn't take long for Klos to showcase his undeniable quality in Glasgow.

Centre-Backs

Richard Gough - An old-school, no-nonsense defender; few attackers found their way past Gough easily. The centre-back enjoyed 11 years at Ibrox and won pretty much everything on offer to him with the Gers.

David Weir - Adored by Rangers fans, Weir spent five years in Glasgow between 2007 and 2012, winning three Scottish Premier League titles. He was also named SFWA Footballer of the Year in 2010.

Lorenzo Amoruso - Adding a little Italian flair to this back line, the former Fiorentina man spent six trophy-laden years in Glasgow, winning domestic trebles on two separate occasions.

Dave McPherson - With Terry Butcher just missing out as he barely played for the Gers in the 1990s, McPherson gets the nod. Coming through the academy at Ibrox, the Scot enjoyed his best years in the 1980s with the club, but came back for two swansong seasons in the mid-90s.

Right-Backs

Fernando Ricksen - The late Ricksen spent six years with Rangers at the turn of the century, winning seven domestic trophies with the Light Blues, while also making 12 appearances for the Dutch national team.

Alan Hutton - Whether Hutton was ever actually that good is still a question that floats around today in Scotland, but the right-back enjoyed many fruitful years with Rangers - and fruitless years with the Scottish national team.

Left-Backs

Arthur Numan - Rangers have an affinity with fantastic Dutch players, with Numan being one of the greatest examples. The dynamic full-back would easily be a starter in this team and could help bring the glory days back to Ibrox.

Lee Wallace - Sasa Papac deserves a mention here, but you have to consider that Wallace stuck with Rangers through the dark days, enjoying - and probably simultaneously not enjoying - eight year between 2011 and 2019 with the Light Blues.

Central Midfielders

Giovanni van Bronckhorst - Despite moving to left-back towards the end of his career, Van Bronckhorst was a technically-gifted midfielder in his prime. Rangers long for the days where they could attract players of the Dutchman's ilk.

Barry Ferguson - Lifting 15 trophies in two separate spells with the Gers, Ferguson is a fan favourite for a reason. Ferocious, tenacious and full of beans, he epitomises what you need to be to be truly loved at Ibrox.

Stuart McCall - When he wasn't falling off cars in Bradford, McCall was plying his trade in Rangers' midfield with aplomb. Despite being born in Leeds, he snubbed England to play for Scotland, making him an instant winner north of the border.

Lee McCulloch - Undoubtedly there have been better players than McCulloch to have graced Rangers' midfield, but the Scotsman just epitomised what the Gers are all about. Known for his versatility, the 41-year-old put his body on the line for the club no matter where he was told to play.

Right Midfielders

Brian Laudrup - Bayern Munich, Ajax, Milan...just some of the great clubs Laudrup played for over the years. You can certainly add Rangers to that list, with the Danish winger instrumental in three successive title wins for the Gers between 1994-1997.

Andrei Kanchelskis - Perhaps better known for his exploits south of the Scottish border, there's no hiding from just how talented the Russian wide man was. He won six trophies in four years at the club, and dazzled Ibrox weekly with his phenomenal performances on the wing.

Left Midfielders

Jorg Albertz - The German could pretty much play anywhere across the front line, but we've plonked him on the wing. 82 goals for the Gers says it all, but Albertz was about a lot more than just finding the back of the net, with his power, precision and gifted footwork making him a formidable player.

Claudio Caniggia - Short but sweet is perhaps the best way to describe the Argentine's time in Scotland. The winger is another attacking player who was comfortable pretty much anywhere and it's easy to see why the hirsute forward was loved wherever he went.

Attacking Midfielders

Paul Gascoigne - Despite scoring that goal against Scotland at Euro 96, Gazza remained a loved man in one half of Glasgow. Three years was far too short a time for Rangers' fans liking, but the Englishman still managed four trophies at Ibrox during his stint at the club.

Ronald de Boer - After swapping Camp Nou for Ibrox, the midfielder managed 40 goals in 129 appearances for the Light Blues, and is yet another flying Dutchman to have donned the Rangers jersey.

Steven Davis - Again, Davis would probably prefer to be a little further back in our team, but we're confident he can do a job a little higher up the pitch. The Northern Irishman rejoined the Gers in 2019, but enjoyed his best performances during his first spell with the club between 2008 and 2012.

Strikers

Ally McCoist - Who else other than Rangers' greatest ever attacker, eh? Over 15 years at Ibrox as a player, McCoist bagged 20 domestic trophies, 28 hat-tricks and two European Golden Shoe awards, before then becoming the club's manager in 2011. Legend.

Mark Hateley - His nickname 'Atilla' perhaps says everything you need to know about Hateley's approach to football. McCoist's partner in crime bagged 115 goals for the Gers in just over 200 appearances.

Kris Boyd - A robust penalty box poacher, Boyd is the closest thing Rangers have had to McCoist since the great man's retirement - though not as universally beloved. In two spells over six seasons, Boyd scored 138 goals for the Gers and won four SPL Golden Boots.
