What a guy

Rangers captain David Weir is the Clydesdale Bank Premier League player of the month for February.

The 39-year-old defender turned in a sequence of fine performances last month as Rangers conceded just one league goal.

"Whatever awards he receives he deserves," said manager Walter Smith.

"Davie brings a great deal to the club, and I know he'll hate me saying this, but he comes as close to a perfect professional as you can get."

Weir was Smith's first signing when the manager returned for his second spell at Ibrox in in January 2007, arriving from Everton on loan before securing a permanent contract for the following season.

His remarkable durability and reliability was then rewarded with a further one-year deal, finishing this summer.

The former Falkirk and Hearts player assumed the captaincy at the tail end of last season, going on to lift the championship and Scottish Cup.

He has shown no signs of slowing up this term, having been a near ever-present at the heart of the Rangers defence.

the old timers done well to be fair to him.as long as he's not up against pace he deals with most spl forwards pretty easily.

Spot on. If i were a fan of any other club i would want to see the fastest guy in my team just run at him. He can't handle it

I suppose you right there craig, if they speed past weir then bougherra chops them down and rangers play away, or weir pulls them back and escapes without booking! But fair play to him, why not play to your strengths or the referees weakness!

Its always good to have the view from the grassy knoll.

A few weeks ago I mentioned Weir's 'World Wrestling Federation' style of throwing opponents around without punishment. I really find it hard to credit him at all when cheating is the fundamental aspect of his game. He NEVER gets carded for it and the Higdon incident highlights his immunity in the SPL, he should have been red carded!

[DEXTER]

Dry your eyes mate. Same old celtic etc. If you think thats a red card there is something wrong with you. Scott Brown head butts someone in the chest and you want a yellow card, Weir fouls someone outside the box and its a red card??? Get a grip you muppet. As for the fundamental aspect of his game its defending not fouling. You really have major mental problems

just to point out i know choco and he supports dunfermline-he actually despises both sides of the old firm-believe me,we've had many an arguement about it!
