My late dad used to always go on about Dougie Wallace who was a goal machine in the 1950s- also Phil McGovern - agree with comments above 7 is very restrictive - I could list 70 across the spectrum - when I was very young in 1972 at a home game against Clydebank, was introduced to a guy Tommy Rankine who was 90 and was at the 1919 cup final - and rarely missed a game - he would certainly be in the frame.

Some great shouts there but obviously Tommy Sermanni should be in there.
I just missed out on Peter Dickson and John Brogan but from various sources in my time at Rovers they have both been described quality players.
Bernie Slaven was brilliant and so was Franchetti. Both in a different class to John Gemmell.
Bruce Clelland was also a great Rovers striker and earned a move to top flight Motherwell.
From my boyhood days I would say Davie Main and Wullie Leishman,Dunky Shields.
Kasule another obvious one.
In more modern times I would Ciaran Donnelly, Alan Reid and best of all Scott Chaplain.
Goalkeeper John Balavidge who earned a move to St Johnstone was a cracking keeper.
