20 Best Rangers Players Of The Modern Era

16. Peter Løvenkrands

When the Danish midfielder Peter Løvenkrands signed on at Rangers in the year 2000, his first few games gave no indication of the vitally important player he'd become for the Glasgow giants. Seemingly ill-fitting for the task of performing in front of 50,000 screaming fans at Ibrox, the Scandinavian attacker appeared nervous and failed to really grab any headlines. Then, as if by magic, Løvenkrands suddenly found his feet. By the time the man departed Rangers in the Summer of 2006 to join Schalke 04 in the German Bundesliga, he had become a firm favourite of the Teddy Bear faithful, and - whilst he did have obvious attributes - there didn't seem to be any real secret to his success. Instead of baffling defenders, the player's tactics were quite obvious, but that didn't mean anyone could stop him. Lightning pace and a quick frightening ability to lethally play through the middle, coupled with composed finishing and real desire, made Peter Løvenkrands a great player in the modern era. The best thing about the man for most fans was that he had an uncanny knack for scoring against Celtic during his tenure.
