Yes a member of the 1972 Cup Winners Cup team as a youngster. There was a fitting tribute yesterday for him at Ibrox against lowly Stranraer with 46,000 present which Rangers won 3-1. Away to second top Dunfermline on Saturday and a win or a draw will see them complete the League campaign unbeaten.
