Good Players We've Had Direct From The Old Firm

I remember I felt the same about Colin MacAdam. Though he did turn out a better player than Santala. Colin was one of these players that needed a bit of rehabilitation after being part of what must have been the dirtiest Motherwell team in history and possibly the dirtiest Scottish team in history (with the possible exception of the Rangers team that kicked and head-butted Dundee United off the park while the ref did an excellent impersonation of Lord Nelson).

 

Funny, I thought about big Col as soon as I started to read this thread but on checking he doesn't count here as he didnt arrive direct from the team formerly known as Rangers either time.

The other thread about Rangers cast offs has got me thinking , I know we've had some really poor players from them over the years but what about good players ,so I'll start it off Kenny Watson (Rangers ). Gerry Britton,Davie Elliott,Andy Murdoch (Celtic)

 

I think we should only count reasonably established OF players for this. Kenny Watson would be number one for me. 60+ appearances for rangers albeit over a 4.5 year period then went on to give us great service, including a period when we were in the doldrums and he practically kept us together single-handed.

 

Surprised, no one's picked Kenny Watson from Rangers! Surely one of our best ever buys?

 

As you can see he`s already been mentioned at least twice!

I hadn't meant to put him forward as one fitting the theme - though I see it might have easily been read that way. I was just responding to the comment re Santala and wandered off the theme as it were.
