OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I found these after viewing the other thread on the topic. I think the transitions could have been smoother, but they're certainly worth a look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCDBigBear 10,810 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I remember the 'old' Ibrox. 80k at some games eh.We could do with that now.haha Was at a couple of games with over 90k back in late 60s both against the dark side. One was a Wednesday evening League Cup game when Andy Penman scored a late equaliser the other was a League game won by a Orjan Persson goal.

One Jock Wallace 858 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Must have been some atmosphere for big games in those days. I started going just as the new stands were built & would have loved to seen how it used to be. I remember the old hampden & piggery was always bouncing when the Gers were in town.

BlearyEyedBear 4,148 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Are there any images in existence of the first Ibrox Park? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Are there any images in existence of the first Ibrox Park?Football pitches at Fleshers' Haugh on Glasgow Green, c 1920s. The Green was the first home of Glasgow Rangers Football Club, founded by a group of rowers who played their early matches at Fleshers' Haugh before moving to Burnbank in 1875.By 1914 there were eighteen football pitches on Fleshers' Haugh, maintained by Glasgow Corporation. The black ash (later red blaes) playing surface was laid on a rock hard foundation and the pitches flooded quickly after rain. Generations of Glasgow's aspiring, has-been and never-did footballers played at the Green until the facility was closed in 1992. The Glasgow Green Football Centre opened in its place in 2000 providing both grass and artificial turf pitches.Reference: 480.85.89Reproduced with the permission of Glasgow City Council, Glasgow Museums Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlearyEyedBear 4,148 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 That looks like a picture of Glasgow Green. I meant the old Ibrox Park (1887-99). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
