Orange&Blue 130 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Was a Rangers legend and played at left back as part of the famous 'Iron Curtain'."That Iron Curtain laid the foundations for Rangers to become the first team to win the Treble, which they did in 1948-49. Cox missed only one League game as Rangers took the title by a point from Dundee".Very sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
