5. Alex Forsyth
The Lanarkshire born full-back helped Manchester United return to the top-tier of English football when they won the Football League Second Division (now EFL Championship) in 1975. Playing 101 times for the Red Devils, Forsyth would lose his place in the United squad to the aforementioned Nicholl and moved, originally on loan, to Rangers in 1978 and stayed at Ibrox until 1982. | SNS Group 0141 221 3602 Photo: SNS Group
6. Henning Berg
Currently the head coach of AEK Larnaca in Cyprus, the Norwegian international defender has a seriously impressive honours list. A three-time winner of the English Premier League (once with Blackburn Rovers), he won every domestic trophy with Manchester United and was part of the squad that won the UEFA Champions League in 1999 to complete a historic treble. Finished his career at Rangers in 2024 before moving into coaching, where he's also found success. | SNS Group 0141 221 3602
7. Amad
The Ivorian bagged a goal on his debut at Ross County, but struggled on loan at Rangers after joining in January 2022, though he did win the Scottish Cup at Ibrox. However, following a successful spell at Sunderland a season later, he has developed into one of the world's top young talents at Old Trafford. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
8. Jack Butland
The nine-time England international moved to Rangers from Manchester United on a free transfer in the summer of 2023 having never ever made a match appearance at Old Trafford. Winner of the player of the year award in his first season at Ibrox, Butland has proven to be one of the club's best signings in recent years. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
