  1. Another sad day for the Rangers family. RIP Ian. Condolences to all his family and friends.
  2. RIP Ronnie. Loved watching you play and one of my favourite ever CBs. Condolences to all friends and family.
  3. Brilliant. My first Scottish cup final win over the Mhanks. Almost made up for being at the 1969 and 1971 defeats. Happy days.
  4. RIP, a great Ranger and a class act
  5. Taken far too young. RIP Goalie.
  6. Took this pic when visiting in 2019. His MM was gazetted on the 9th July 1917. I have an ancestry account so let me know if you need a copy of his MIC/ROH etc
  7. Sad indeed, a great part of one of our truly iconic sides. RIP Davie.
  8. Sir Alexander Chapman Ferguson; CBE, loyal subject of Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith
  9. Many happy returns Sir - 79 years young. Hope you enjoy many more in the future.
  10. Fantastic pic which brings back great memories. Walking up to that magnificent Copland Terracing as a kid in the 60's. Hearing the noise from the crowd and climbing the stairway with that sense of anticipation. Unbeatable atmosphere with 70-80,000 inside for the big games.
  11. Could well be, was at the game but +60 memory not that good. However checking the excellent Bears 1872 DB the players all match - Willie wan fit, Tam F, Wee Doddy and Big Peter. Mhanks also match - Johnstone, McGlaughlin and Lennox.
  12. What could go wrong? It was a perfect day up till then, I can remember sitting proudly in the Copland Stand for the first time as we opened it that day. Then we manage to lose 2 goals in the last 6-7 minutes and the Mhanks draw 2-2.
  13. G.A.T.J. is spot on. Worst feeling ever at the Mhank Dome. After that we beat Thistle 1-0 at Ibrox, beat Hivs 3-2 in SCF at Hampden (after 2 replays) then lost to Hivs 1-2 at Easter Road. We played 61 games that season - way more than the Mhanks. Still gutted that the Greatest Ever Ranger did not manage a championship winning team.
  14. Sorry, lost the thread. Will check the series of The Rangers Journey Through the 60's videos on YouTube. For sure Wee Buds goal is in one of the videos (there are 4 in total).
  15. The game is on Youtube here: Maybe you can screen capture the goal.
  16. Not too much over exuberance either. It was clearly quite a normal occurrence spanking the Mhanks in those days.
  17. Jelavic 2 - 1 2011 SLCF Apologies for quality of some PICS but great memories.
