Your dead right. Doug Baillie followed Paterson, and for a short while was the regular centre half. Ronnie MacKinnon came through from the reserves and quickly took over from Bailie. I started going to matches at that time (while still at school - Govan High) and particularly followed Ronnie as he was a local Govan lad. As I recall he played for Benburb, before signing for us. I'm guessing he wasn't in the reserves for very long, but it's a while back (1962/1963-ish), and the old memory bank isn't as good these days

I remember reading a coaching book from the '50s (decade I was born in) that referred to the 'classic WM' formation. I read this over 50 years ago, so can't recall the exact wording , but it went along the following lines; the W would give you 3 (defenders as in the opening post) then 2 (halfbacks?) the M would give 2 (inside forwards?) then 3 (2 wingers and the centre forward). Happy to add to the general confusion on tactics from 60- 70 years ago.....

What a wonderful Sunday read about our greatest ever player.
fitalspark replied to backup's topic in Jimmy Bell's Kitroom
Didn't know about the Old Firm record, but I saw enough of Slim Jim in the early sixties to be absolutely convinced he was the best footballer to wear our jersey. He was simply up there at the top of the pile back in the day. Difficult for an old codger to compare the best then with the so-called superstars of today, but I'm convinced he would be up there. It's all about personal opinions of course. And he had that gallous swagger as well, just glorious.,... -
Yup, first Rangers captain I watched and he oozed class both on and off the pitch. That team was something special, as you say, possibly the greatest Rangers team ever. RIP captain.

I agree with the OP's comments in general, but I've also seen (Daily Mai?) comment that it was a must win game for Rodgers, possibly after their less than stellar transfer window. I can see that might be the case. Maybe, there's less between us and them than some folks are suggesting? Doubt they will improve from Sunday, but we will.
