    I hope they are all diehard Rangers fans.

    Every one of them I’ve mentioned, their attitude is or has been impeccable when representing us.

    I’m not old enough to have seen Dalglish or McGrain but given they are two of our greatest ever players I’m going to go ahead and assume their attitude was alright :56:

    The 3 games he’s started against the Huns this season the performances he’s had in them have been next level.

    The new year game his performance after it I was saying you’d struggle to think of a better performance against them ever. He had one today better. He was * everywhere. Rodgers gave him a lot of freedom today, not just sticking as the deep lying player and he was devastating at times. They couldn’t get near him.

    We carefully nursed him to match fitness for this, games I was moaning like * playing him clearly unfit. I’ll hold my hands up being wrong, we made sure he was going into this game at his best and he absolutely * stormed it. Love him man

    Absolutely * world class player.

    World class captain, one of the best I've ever seen, better than Lambert etc.

    Seems to have gone grey in the hair overnight, so I'll just be sitting back enjoying watching Callum until he retires.

    A true legend.

    Honestly think you can slot him into any midfield in the world and he doesn’t look out of place.

    The way he collects the ball, shields it, rolls it and then does that wee 5 yard dash from a standing position.....the only person I can compare him to is Modric.

    Put himself about.

    Kept running off his marker and offering an option to Hatate and O'Riley.

    Only missing a goal from that performance.

    Absolutely superb.

    Back to his brilliant best yesterday, you could see he was loving it with the mind game’s against the scum, they couldn’t get near him and he was just laughing in their faces, a true captains performance.

    Aye he was awesome yesterday. The kind of performance that's been too rare this season, the level we need him at going into next season's CL. Legend pure and simple.

    Honestly man, what Callum does for this team is so unnoticed.

    Captain, Leader, Legend. And a decent guy to boot.

    I was the same. Did my head in at the time, was certain it was the wrong thing to do. Shows what I know. He had a stormer and that's with being constantly chopped down, and absolutely no protection from the referee.

    Aye Rodgers has handled his injury brilliantly in my opinion. The game at Ibrox I was screaming for him to come on, it backfired but I wasn’t complaining about the sub at the time. Since then he has given him ample game time to really get back to match sharpness but still enough rest as well. We saw the benefit of this at the weekend. Another top performance against they *.

    What else can be said about him.

    He's an elite level player.

    I genuinely don't think it's much of an overreaction to suggest he could go into almost any team and not look out of place. His technical ability and movement off the ball is incredible and he is the type that, with better players around him, would just go up a notch. The kind of player Pep would love and the type of player who would be incredible under Pep.
