Rangers legend once used chocolate bars as shinpads 🤣 | OneFootball

Rangers legend Ian Durrant shared a brilliant story with the Scottish Sun about his 20th and final Scotland cap, a match which he did not expect to feature in.

The midfielder, who featured for Rangers from 1985 to 1998, recalled being flabbergasted when he heard manager Craig Brown call his name in the final minutes of a friendly.

“My last cap was away to the Republic of Ireland in 2000,” Durrant told the Scottish Sun.

“Craig Brown called me into the squad but I was so convinced I wouldn’t play I didn’t take any shin pads with me.

“I was amazed when he said I was going on as a sub near the end.

“I’d to turn to Stewart McMillan, who was the backroom guy. He always had a bag of chocolate bars for the boys so I took two Mars Bars out of it and jammed them down my socks to protect my shins!”

Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.
