Tommy Cairns (1913-1927)
Cairns arrived at Ibrox in November 1913 and made his debut the following month against Hamilton Accies.
However it wasn't until the following season that he established himself in the inside-left berth, a position he effectively made his own for 13 years.
His direct, no-nonsense style and an overwhelming desire not to lose were the qualities that made Tommy one of the top Rangers of his era.
And when Alan Morton arrived at Ibrox in 1920, the hard-working and persistent Cairns provided the perfect foil for the talented new winger on the left side of Rangers' attack.
By the time he left for Bradford City in 1927 Tommy had won six championship medals and had been capped six times by Scotland.
