MJC Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Not a specific former player but it is eight years to the day since the playoff 2nd leg, part two of the most important result for the club in the last decade and more. The players on that day really stepped up to the plate after failing to do so all season. Ainsworth, Pearson, Johnston, McManus and of course Lee Erwin are the names you instantly think of when remembering those games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 I give a lot of credit to Baraclough for getting the tone exactly right in those games. Another huge factor was having guys like Pearson, McManus and McDonald in the team. Winning at Ibrox was quite normal to them and that mindset was something we'd been lacking in many previous visits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Exactly, there was none of the subservient fear of them that'd we'd seen all to often in previous games against them, especially under the man in their dugout for those games. For once we went out and showed them no respect instead of 'playing the name' of Rangers and we got the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't forget the Rangers team we played in those games was absolute dug shite which helped a lot, light years away from the team they have now.

Very true. Despite the media hype, it's easy to forget they finished 3rd in the Championship that season 22 points off the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 That Rangers team was absolutely bang average, or rank rotten by their standards. But I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that had Stuart McCall been in charge of us instead of them for those games then we would not have beaten them.

joewarkfanclub Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 The Rangers team we beat in the play offs clearly werent the standard of the teams of the past or that they have had since. However, it was a team that still cost way more money to put together than we could afford at the time and they were still playing in front of 50k of their own fans. Beating them 3-1 at their place shouldnt be talked down. It was still a hell of an achievment and a thoroughly satisfying night out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Charles Dunne, Richard Tait and Curtis Main all leaving St Mirren. Even as we speak, Robinson will be on the MFC website working through the list of our released players to replace them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretzel Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Still have nightmares of McMillan and Jules vs Marcus Haber in McGhees last game. I actually think that might have been Jack's last game for us as well. Seemed to do alright at Livi before moving on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
