In a season dominated by one player blessed with almost supernatural skill, Rangers were devastated by the loss of another. Memories of Davie Cooper, his passing, how Rangers wrapped up the title and how they planned to win more are discussed by Martyn, David and Alan as well as asking how sustainable the dependence on one gifted individual actually is.

Martin Davies

Started listening on the way to work this morning, and find myself with tears running down my face thinking back to Davie Cooper. I was born 76 and he was my childhood hero. As a local Motherwell lad, I had the pleasure of meeting Davie a couple of times, and he was an absolute gentleman and very down to earth. A very sad loss to us all. David, I was at Tannadice and remember the 2 quick fire goals shortly after the minute's silence. McLaren's was indeed a cracker.

I was too young to have seen Cooper play live but I remember being utterly devastated by his passing. I blame my dad's VHS collection as I loved him as a player, although on a personal level I wonder if the fact my dad was also born in 1956 might have had an impact. His celebration of his penalty kick winner in the 86/87 League Cup Final is for me one of the iconic images of modern Rangers.

This is going to be a tear jerker with Davie Cooper isn’t it? Slightly before my time but I saw him over 86-89 and after he left, you just knew he was one of us. I could feel that as a plooky teenager!

Iain Harvey

Hard reminiscing about the passing of my first boyhood hero, but very well done guys, another excellent episode.

Callum Dinnen

The Gary McAllister 'signing' I seem to remember was destined to happen for years. I have no idea why we didn't sign him during the 90s, particularly given the foreigner rule.

David Baillie

Great show lads. Something that I think gets overlooked with regard to Coop was his bravery. Go back and watch the 86/87 League Cup final. Aitken, McInally, Grant, McLeod all smash Coop. He keeps coming back and gloriously sticks the winner away under massive pressure. A legend indeed.

Martyn Dick

‪Intrigued as to why Freedman is always known as ‘Duggie’ rather than ‘Dougie’‬????

Martyn, Alan, David, a difficult listen and well done on expressing your thoughts. Hit like a train, eh. As a family we had suddenly lost my dad’s older brother at 40 whom I worshipped. I was 12. My first experience of grief and to be perfectly honest I’m unsure if I’ve processed it properly yet. When we (for it was we) lost Davie was as close as it comes to that devastation. And like you all said, it’s actually still genuinely upsetting to talk about and recall. These days it has extra resonance to me; 8 years ago my older sister collapsed at a parents evening. Rushed to hospital & tests run; a subarachnoid haemorrhage. Blue lighted to the Southern General doctors, nurses and surgeons battled and saved her life 3 times as further bleeds took place, and she survived due to a procedure carried out to stop the bleeds (sadly invoking a stroke too, but at least she made it through albeit with serious debilitations). Sorry, probably not the place but sometimes I write it down. I think for people in their teens when it happened it perhaps was one of the first experiences of grief and that’s why it still resonates as looking back it was so bloody hard to understand (to be fair it doesn’t get much easier). That spontaneous coming together of fans at Ibrox I think was the disbelief manifest. And a final word that the season review video section on this tragedy is almost perfect. The slow motion lifting of Coop by Ally after his penalty and then Coop turning to take the adulation of the fans is my very favourite image of all things Rangers, I wish I could get a high quality copy and get it framed!

Is my mind playing tricks or were we not linked with Paul Ince during this time aswell????…I’ve got this image of Ince in the Inter Milan strip n the back page of one of the papers linking him with us

Davie Cooper what to say? At this time of average players moving for astronomical money and being lauded , what would a Cooper be worth? Saw him from his signing what a player. We played Killie at Ibrox and he was completely anonymous but won 5-0 my Killie supporting mate said “ he’s finished”. We then played them at Rugby park a week or so later in the league cup and he scored 4 one of the best individual displays I have seen from a Rangers player. I’m sure he beat the whole Killie team plus the ball boys at one of the goals . Mate had the decency to admit he was wrong. You were never really sure which Davie would turn up under Greig but it was always worth turning up just in case.

Gary Brown

Thanks again Martyn for the latest episode of your wonderful series. As always thanks to Alan & David, their reflections and opinions are such a huge contribution to making it so. Super Cooper! 😥 Not much I can add to what's already been said in the platitudes of his talent & character. One word, gravitas! Davie joined Rangers when I 'joined' Rangers, as a 7yr old just when I'd gained the "consciousness' of the game & supporting the team, actually involved, reading the paper, being emotionally connected. Davie was my idol growing up, turbo charged by the fact I could only kick with my left foot (right handed!) so could 'be' him when playing in the 1-40 a sides 😄. He was the brightest star shining in the very dark skies which covered my formative years as a cub & bear. Rice was right it was always 'about how he played the game'. A legend.

Fraser Black

Great show again lads, thoroughly enjoying the series. My first ever memory of Ibrox was going through with my dad & brother to leave a scarf at the gates for Super Cooper, as a 7 year old. Martyn, great debate to open with the 95 final being the strongest 11 vs 11. I actually raise you the previous year? Milan v Barca; Romario, Stoichkov, Koeman. That outrageous Milan team played 3 straight finals in a row. What a force of nature. 90s football really was the best . . .

No I meant the full 22 players. That Barca side had those 3 special players but it included Ferrer, Nadal, Bakero, amor, Txiki. No danger it’s as strong as either 95 XI. Thanks btw! Glad you’re enjoying it

I remember the Herald at the time with a full page advert for the "Ready for the Future" and it was a picture of Laudrup quoting to Jasper Blomqvist "Come on Jasper, you'll love it here"
