Agree ,but think sandy jardine was edging it for me.A phenomenal full back and easily the best right back I've saw in a blue jersey.

Sandy was just before my time, well I did see him play but can't really recall him as a youngster.Agree ,but think sandy jardine was edging it for me.
Jardine in his prime,along with mc grain,were two of the best full backs in european ,maybe world football at that time.Sandy was just before my time, well I did see him play but can't really recall him as a youngster.
If it’s the 89 cup final, to be honest I had totally forgotten about it.I didn't think it needed to be regurgitated.
It has been said, he scored the winner at Hamilton that started the long road to 9 in a row.Tad before my time, but one hell of a resume playing for us, 6 League, 2 Scottish Cup and 3 Scottish League Cup medals to his name, during his 6 year and 246 game stay (as per The Rangers Archive)
Main one that sticks out to me, and I am sure others, is scoring the first goal of what would be our start to accomplishing 9 in a row against Hamilton in 1988
Probably the same lump of wood who would slaughter Davie Cooper when he first signed for us.This has always stuck with me.
A game at Easter Rd and a big clueless balloon was giving him dog’s abuse from start to finish including “Stevens, you’re a horse's arse. Never a Rangers player.”
I was dying to say something, but he was built like a brick shit hoose.
That bloke is probably now a match thread veteran.
I was at that game as the Directors of Accies were clients so I took a table at their hospitality.It has been said, he scored the winner at Hamilton that started the long road to 9 in a row.
Great player.
Remember him scoring 2 at Fir Park, Gerry McNee screaming on commentary 'Gary Stevens'
My mistake, mind playing tricks on me.didn't stop us doing back to back trebles
He probably thinks everybody is aware of his aberration in the 89 cup final.Well are you keeping it to yourself?
Best RB I’ve seen in a blue jersey since Sandy Jardine!
It was never a throw in to them in the first place.In a word, class. Great player, great engine, but unfortunately there's one other memory blots the landscape.
Out of interest, who are the 4 ahead?Despite my appreciation of Tavernier, Gary Stevens is still the best right back I've seen at Rangers since I started going (late 80's). Always think he is one that can sometimes be a bit over looked in terms of his contribution to the 9 in a row team. Probably because his was in the earlier years and he wasn't a superstar like McCoist, Gazza, Hateley or Laudrup. He is 5th on the appearances list for 9inar. Immense player.

I’m thinking Gough, Ferguson, McCoist and Bomber?
As good as Stevens was, Jardine more than “edged it”.Agree ,but think sandy jardine was edging it for me.

Didn’t Walter try that away at AEK?
Brilliant player great engine one of the best right backs to play for usLoved him. Solid defender and had great work rate. He would have starred for any of the top teams around at that time. Would be in my best Rangers Xi from my lifetime
From all the comments, you're right.He probably thinks everybody is aware of his aberration in the 89 cup final.
Cost us a treble!
Excellent fullback pre injury, one of the best we had.Tad before my time, but one hell of a resume playing for us, 6 League, 2 Scottish Cup and 3 Scottish League Cup medals to his name, during his 6 year and 246 game stay (as per The Rangers Archive)

Yip,posted the same elsewhere in the thread.As good as Stevens was, Jardine more than “edged it”.
A genuine world class right back who, along with McGrain, had few, if any, peers.
Also If I remember correctly I'm sure we had an injury time goal disallowed for f.all then as well, that cup final still pisses me offIt was never a throw in to them in the first place.
I went into Ibrox a few hours before kick off at that title decider to present our supporters club player of the year award to Mark Walters. Got ushered into a small room just off the foyer and there was Gary Stevens just chilling out with his feet up. Was really taken aback by how cool and relaxed he was before such a big game. Rolls Royce of a player…One of his best games was in the league decider against the sheep in 1991. He was shifted to left back after Tom Cowan or Chris Vinnicombe got injured early in the game I think, not sure which one of the two it was but stand to be corrected.
That day was mental as we had to move Scott Nisbet to right back and Nigel Spackman to the centre of defence alongside John Brown.
In the second half Brown got injured and had to go off so Stevens had to move into central defence and it was that bad Mark Hateley had to slot in at left back for the last ten mins. You think our injuries are bad now that day it was off the charts as we put an unfit McCoist on the bench just to make up the numbers.
