Taking over the reigns as temporary manager towards the end of the 2014-2015 season, Stuart McCall did an admirable job, almost single-handedly hauling one of the worst Rangers team in living memory through the Scottish Championship Playoffs and into the top flight for the first time since 2012. Sadly, it almost seemed like he was appointed just too late, the damage had been done earlier in the season by terrible leadership from Ally McCoist and Kenny McDowall. McCall may not have managed to achieve what he set out to, but he did improve Rangers as manager, just as he did when playing for the infamous club. Signed from Everton in 1991, the midfielder instantly used his dogged determination to secure a berth in the middle of the park for Rangers, something which wouldn't change until he left Ibrox in 1998. All in all, Stuart managed 194 appearances for the team, a stalwart of Walter Smith's ultra-successful '9 In A Row' sides. By virtue of the fact he was one of the players who captured that ninth league championship title in 1997, McCall will always be remembered, but he is often overlooked when fans discuss their favourites. Although flash wasn't really his thing, the midfield man was far more accomplished than he's often given credit for.
