Rangers Legends Countdown: your say...

And now it's your turn.

The SportTimes team of top writers trawled through the record books and debated and discussed before compiling their list of the finest 50 Legends to have graced Ibrox.

True blue hero Jim Baxter was named the greatest Rangers player.

Our Legends series has drawn huge acclaim from supporters, with around 40,000 fans logging on to our website to keep up to date with the countdown and thousands more picking up a paper to see who would come out on top-thank you for the time you have taken to get in touch.

Now, the Light Blue legions have their say on who should have claimed top spot and those who missed out on a place amongst our Rangers elite.

Graeme, from Glasgow, said:

Well done to the Evening Times for producing a really enjoyable series.

The legends and pictures have brought back some great memories for me. It is almost impossible to get a definitive list when comparing different players and different eras, but all those named in the top 50 deserve to be recognised for what they have done for our great club.

Martin from Falkirk said:

I won't quarrel too much about the great Slim Jim being No 1.

For me it had to be either him or Alan Morton, with length of service perhaps just swaying it in Morton's favour.

In my view, Sandy Jardine and Laudrup are too highly placed, superb players though they were.

James Brown from Egypt posted:

Jim Baxter is a great choice. The day he died I was working in Greece, and I shed many a tear that day, it was like losing a member of my family.

He was my favourite player of all time, world-class. I remember him playing for a World select against England at Wembley.

I recall a picture of him sitting between Puskas and Di Stefano, and someone saying: 'who is that sitting with Baxter?'

Tom, in the US, posted:

Some greats were missed, some are on the list who are maybe not so great.

However, they are all legends.

Thank you Evening Times, I really have enjoyed this. Onwards and upwards.

Stevie from Toryglen said:

Main one for me is Alfie Conn is in but Ian MacMillan is not.

Could or should have beens: Ian Ferguson, Tom Vallance, Moses McNeil, Willie Robb, Tommy McLean, Graeme Souness.

I think Willie Waddell should be an automatic top 10 and not just for his playing-manager career.

Baxter at No 1 was a surprise. I expected Greig. I was pleased to see Meiklejohn there.

Tom, via e-mail, posted:

I would place Ronnie McKinnon much higher in the list, in the top 15 at least.

In terms of central defenders, I'd only put Willie Woodburn and George Young (both of whom I saw in their heyday) ahead of him.

He was a better all-round defender than either Richard Gough or Terry Butcher, good as they were.

But as you said, we are never going to get any unanimous opinion.

Thomas, Canada:

I don't see Gazza being No.8 on the legend list. He should have been listed in the 40-36 list maybe.

A great player on his day, but playing 100 games for Rangers does not in my mind put him down as a legend in the top 10.

Billy, Hamilton

I have enjoyed the countdown of the 50 greatest Rangers players. Great work guys.

It is a shame I was never able to see the likes of Davie Meiklejohn or Willie Waddell in action.

I did get to marvel at Goram, Gazza, Super Ally and Laudrup during the nine-in-a-row years and I'm delighted they have been given such recognition in your list.

Ian, Cumbernauld

I cannot believe Ally McCoist wasn't named as No 1 in your list.

He is Rangers' greatest goalscorer and has been a magnificent servant and ambassador to the club for many years.

Credit to Matthew and Chris for an excellent series.

It has been an enjoyable read this summer.
