Playing two strikers went out of fashion with backwards Kangol caps and Sony Walkmans. But Charlie Miller believes a twin pairing of Antonio Colak and Alfredo Morelos could be the made-to-measure solution for Rangers as they look to mount an autumn/winter resurgence.
The former Ibrox midfielder broke into Walter Smith’s glitzy 1990s ensemble at a time when the big man/little man combo of Ally McCoist and Mark Hateley was still very much in vogue. These days, it’s inverted full-backs and gegenpressing that’s all the rage with most managers sticking strictly to the modern-day solo striker trend.
Gio van Bronckhorst certainly adheres to that latest thinking, declaring back in August: “I never play with two strikers.” But Miller is convinced that’s a flaw in the Ibrox boss’ designs, especially when it comes to drab domestic clashes like Saturday’s 2-1 grind over Dundee United.
