Content

Grant is joined by Ross to discuss all that Barry's time at Ibrox had to offer. From breaking through the academy to become a mainstay of Dick Advocaats side, one of the greatest individual performances in the 2002 Scottish Cup Final to one of the best seasons by an individual in 2002/2003, the first part of Barrys Ibrox career had a lot to choose from. That is coupled with his return and part in the 2004/2005 season before the boys discuss his Ibrox exit and open the discussion of whether a player is overshadowed by their off-field antics. Finally, the boys discuss if Barry would be included in your Greatest Rangers XIs.

He was superb. I always wanted him to demonstrate those 9 out of tens because he was capable of that. At his best, the analogy could be, he was like a Meerkat, head up scanning the environment, Gizelle, graceful posture when on the ball, his passing, and would demonstrate the heart of a lion more often than not. What a great player for the club, especially the first time around. I loved him.

Gregg

Superb footballer - right up there for me.

Andy Barnett

Ahh, where do we start with Barry. From 2001-2003 he was arguably one of the two best British CM’s out there alongside Scholes. Prior to that he was inconsistent with flashes of brilliance. He had a good season in 07/08 but did nothing throughout the rest of his injury-ravaged second spell at the club, while the ma-baw, chip on the shoulder and off field behaviours rendered his ‘staunchness’ irrelevant. Could’ve been an all-time great, but he left at the worst time.

He was stripped of the captaincy (twice), hunted by ‘The Rangers Manager’ and is generally a fanny these days. Playing wise - he is an all time great for me. An elite level footballer with a superb football brain

Loved Ferguson, some of his performances were exquisite. For as good as he was, I feel under different circumstances, he would have become even better. Proper leader on the park and demanded the best of his team mates.

Graeme McLeod

Not sure I agree about his maturity in regards to "demanding more" from his teammates. Former players of that team have said Amoruso being stripped of the armband didn't change that he was the leader, and Numan - who is/was friends with Bazza - said that at times Ferguson would ignore advice from guys like himself and De Boer and players would switch off from him shouting at them on the field. At his best during his first spell he led by example, but there was still an immaturity there. He didn't really possess that maturity as a leader and captain until his second spell, and even then there were times when this "demanding more" was just shouting at teammates. And there's now a generation of Rangers fans who seem to think a captain is supposed to be shouting at his teammates constantly. Definitely a tremendous talent though. He made the wrong move going to Blackburn. He should have went to the Bundesliga as teams were interested. But it worked out for us that he didn't.

100% spot on - he is revered as a leader by some because we won more than we lost. He was a moaner and a bit of a bully - he wasn’t popular with his colleagues. The thought of a guy who was homesick in Blackburn trying to learn German is a funny one though

Was it not his wife that was homesick? Suppose that'd have been the same result, but his issue was getting injured then being at home with his wife who couldn't settle in Lancashire. Dunno if he'd have struggled himself abroad without the injury, but fair point all the same. From a footballing perspective though he was made for the Bundesliga at the time and just too good for Blackburn. (And that's not meant as a dig at them.)
