20 Best Rangers Players Of The Modern Era

2. Brian Laudrup

There can't be any denying that the likes of Brian Laudrup and Paul Gascoigne were signed by Rangers in an attempt to solidify the club as a force on the European stage. All too often, that didn't work out for the club, who looked less like a titan when up against superb footballing sides like Ajax and Juventus in the Champions League. Nonetheless, Laudrup was worth every penny of the £2.3 million paid to Fiorentina in 1994. A magnificently skillful winger, Laudrup thrilled crowds at Ibrox each and every time he took to the field. One of the man's team mates, Stuart McCall even stated during a Rangers home video release that every Gers player hated playing against him in training, because the temptation was to cut him down with a foul, just to stop him running rings around them! Of course, that would have been silly, because come the weekend Brian Laudrup could be relied upon to steer Rangers to victory. Pinpoint crosses and a healthy return on goals (33) during his 4 year tenure at the club helped secure the Dane as a Rangers legend, and perhaps the best foreign player ever to work at Rangers.
