@armbar hahahahahaha internet hard men. Hard as fuck. hahahhahaha ya fuckin pie. Now when you learn anything about football, come back and comment on footballers cos you obviously know hee-haw. Trot on Mr Hawking.
This was the day before money took over! Baxter in these days would have been 50+million - he had it all - vision - skill - flair - personality and natural ball skills!
Slim Jim....played in an excellent Rangers team....Davie Wilson...Alex Scott...Ralph Brand...Ian McMillan...Eric Caldow....Jimmy Millar. The National Side was also "Hot". If Denis was "King" Jim was the "Bonnie Prince".
too much interest in foreign players mate,thats why. no interest in bringing the kids up through the ranks,the clubs want instant success these days. "money"
you can't blame the clubs the simple fact its the lifestyle of the kids that have changed we cant play footbal as much anymore because were constantly pressured to study and do well in exams and theres no places i can play either with it getting dark at 4 o'clock in the winter and finally the coaches of young players in scotland are too fxed on ''tactics'' and getting results rather than realising the main application of these clubs is to coach ,develop and improve young footballers
A great playes slim Jim and no one can deny that. 1960-64 were good years for Rangers apart from some embarrassments in Europe (0-6 to Real, 4-12 Eintracht). Scotland produced some great players in those years.
true, but lets not forget that behind Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt were the top 2 teams in the World then, and Rangers were the third force in World Football....those were the days in Peles match, Jim Baxter and Willie Henderson in the World 11 lol, two best players of there generation from Britain
What do you base this '3rd best in the world' boast on? Baxter's team were hammered home and away by Spurs in that era (2-3, 2-5) Ditto Fiorentina, etc in Europe. They lost the league to Dundee in 61 (Did that make Dundee 3rd best in the World?) Did Rangers make a Champions Cup Final or Semi Final in that Era? No! Are the teams that did worse than Rangers? Idle boasting with no basis in reality. A good team, but the Lisbon Lions proved their superiority as Scotlands greatest ever club side.
If the Lisbon lions wereso good then why is it recorded in the clubs official history written about the club that the players were whooping it up when on their team bus they heard on the radio that Baxter had been sold to Sunderland ?
One man that could scare a whole team !
Baxters departure from Rangers coincided with Celtics turn of fortunes.
Also Lisbon lions as good as they were were fortunate not to face the quality of teams of the early 60s Real Eintract and both Milan teams.
The Lisbon Lions were Champions of Europe, all the debate in the world won't change that. They also defeated some great teams, Inter (Champions 1964, 65) The Leeds 'invincibles', Fiorentina, Benfica and of course Rangers who were a good team in the late 60s despite Baxter leaving. The Gers were capable of being very good, but of course in that era Celtic were undeniably better. PS Celtic did beat Madrid just a week after Lisbon. PPS where in the history is the 'Baxters gone' whooping it up?
Anyway, Lets not turn this into a 'My Da's bigger than your Da' debate. Rangers 60-64 were great champions of Scotland, Celtic (particularly 65-74) were superb European competitors (2 finals, 4 semis, 6 Quarters) as well as dominant domestically. Both clubs had some great players and some great battles, respect to all in that most brilliant generation of Scottish players. And of course respect to Jim Baxter, truly one of the greats and by all accounts a great guy too. God, those teams had style!
Celtic hardly beat any good teams on the way to the european cup final, a tournament linfield reached the quarter finals of. Back then it was not the same comp as it is now and the teams celtic had on the way to the final was very poor.
Celtic beat Zürich, Nantes, Vojvodina and Dukla Prague to get to the final. Hardly Reald Madrid and Juventus is it? Rangers beat harder teams on the way to the uefa final! and in the cup winners cup win!
i am a rangers fan baxter and henderson are not the two best british players of there era does the name george best ring any bells he was the best british player of his era and of course jim baxter.
mate teams win trophies edwards is the best ever because anyone who saw him even a fan who hated him says it.search him in google it is worth the read.
i hate when people say players like baxter,pele,best,edwards would sturggle intodays game it is not true because they would have the same fittness levels as todays players.

thetoon99 4 years ago
Best ever what?? He wasn't a goalscorer, he wasn't a goalie.
He didn't shine in a world cup, he didn't win a european cup.
Fact is nobody knows how good Edwards would have been, he died a long long way short of his prime so it's impossible to say.
