20 Best Rangers Players Of The Modern Era

13. Lorenzo Amoruso

Signing on from Serie A's Fiorentina in 1997, Lorenzo Amoruso didn't exactly settle in brilliantly during the early months of his Glasgow Rangers career. In fact, the big Italian defender looked more like a liability at the back, and fans found themselves shouting, 'Oh, Lorenzo!' on more than one occasion as he slipped up or unnecessarily clattered through the back of an opposing player. Admittedly, mistakes were prevalent throughout the man's 6 years at Ibrox, but there was just something about him which supporters dearly loved. It was obvious to everyone watching that the man gave his all each and every time he strutted out on to the pitch, and his tempestuous run as Rangers captain, along with his love/hate relationship with former manager Dick Advocaat, made his story all the more compelling. Even now, when Lorenzo Amoruso is mentioned, smiles appear on the faces of fans. He may not have been the best defender around, as evidenced by his failure to really break into the Italian national side, but he did grow into the job, and had an insane likability about him which struck a chord with all who witnessed him play. Amoruso is the kind of man who will always be welcomed back to Ibrox as a guest.
