Where is the most bizarre place you have watched a Rangers game from?


Recommended Posts

Watched the uefa cup final in the Falklands, even managed to get the guys the afternoon off to have a few bevvys with me.

Must have been about 10/11 sitting in a tree in a beer garden watching a late kick off St Johnstone game.

Been sat in a JCB on exercise watching a couple of games.

I suppose not bizarre but I remember watching Rangers v Man Utd in the Champions League while on my honeymoon in Bangkok. Think it was the one were we lost 1-0 at Ibrox courtesy of a flukey phil Neville goal?

 I missed the second leg as we had travelled on to the island of Phuket and for whatever reason I didn't get to watch it.

 

Phuket.

Right in the middle of around 80,000 tarriers at the old piggery on 1st April, 1989, when we won 2-1. Was the most freaky surreal game watching Rangers in my entire life. Ran for my life with my Rangers scarf hanging out of my jacket pocket after I told the tarriers outside the ground that Joe Miller missed a penalty with 5 minutes to go.

Weirdly, all I could think of was the Billy Connolly gag about shitting in the shoes :lol::pipe:

It didn't hold anything like that. About 60,000 (if they actually count as 1 each) could fit in the old version of Parkheid until the Taylor report and it dropped to about 33,000 and I think below that right before it was renovated. Of course, that coup was usually about a third full anyway.

Us vs Them, the match when the Hugh Dallas got coined at the Piggery and the soap dodger took a header from the upper deck.  Officers Mess, Gornji Vakuf in Bosnia attached to an English Infantry Regiment.

Tough one tbh as I've went to most games in my lifetime that I could/wanted to. 

The Dundee United boycott was surreal was down in Newcastle for the Chelsea game with about 20 unsavoury individuals and watched it in a pub down there - that was the first game Id missed since the San Siro closed doors so that sticks out 

nice wee ruck with the Gremlins at  the station after it and a Police escort on train all the way back to Glasgow :lol:

Was a nice wee day that :D

I remember the report of the game and they gave the crowd at around 80,000, but to be honest being stuck right in the middle of the scum, counting the cunts was the last thing on my mind at that time. I have been at the piggery many times but being in beside the filth support was taking supporting Rangers to a new level of committment

It was my first game back in Scotland after 23 years away and for me to even get a ticket to watch Rangers after 3 days back in the country was brilliant. I've still got that programme but it's a shame it has the picture of that big donkey Roy Aitken on the front page.

:D Yeah , been there :lol: 

When Souness arrived , I couldn't get a ticket for the Rangers End for the final c....c game of the season , so decided to get one for the tarriers end . Found a relatively quiet spot , where there were just groups of 2 or 3 around me. 

When they scored , I was quite surprised with the lack of excitement about me and it seemed there were a few ' good ' guys around  . As the game went on, the odd Rangers scarf came out , soon to be huckled out by the polis. 

Two nil down at HT , Ally scored , and no one could contain themselves any longer . Polis then came down and escorted , probably 50 - 100 Rangers fans out the ground . 

Headed to the Keystane to get the final score where a certain John Brown was having a wee session .

I have watched streams of our games in central american jungles.

However, the most bizzarre place i ever watched a game was Ibrox.

While in the Bahamas my best mate was the son of a celtic director. I couldn't get a ticket for an old firm game so called him up.

He told me he had a ticket for me in the directors box with the celtic delegation on condition i wouldn't embarrass him by cheering on the Gers while in that group.

I gave him my word on it, and kept it - 90 minutes of absolute fuckin torture!
