Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I was at home, listening on the radio, until 5 minutes to go, had given up. Went out the back for a smoke, left my son listening to the games on the radio. I heard an almighty roar from his room. Went running back indoors. Met him in the kitchen, running out to tell me that Motherwell had equalised. Switched on the radio in the kitchen, there were now 3 radios on in the house, Herself was trying to keep us quiet, reminding us that it was a Sunday. Then McDonald scored again! We both roared loudly and danced out into the back garden singing, and shouting. I've never celebrated like that with my son before, or since. We were high fiving each other, hugging each other, laughing, singing. The neighbours were wondering what was going on, I heard someone say that Rangers must've won the league. Within the hour, my sons mates were here asking him to go into town with them. They all had their Rangers strips on, and one of them had a car. They went driving round Stornoway town centre, tooting the horn, and celebrating with loads of their mates, all out celebrating another Rangers win. It was one of the best days being a Rangers fan, without actually being at the game. ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geneva_ger 9,328 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Driving to shops with my boy when motherwell scored and did a quick about turn and was heading home when they scored again so went directly to the pub. Told the boy to walk home and tell his mum, and the car stayed there a couple of days. One of the greatest days of my life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching at my local, place was still going mental after Motherwell first goal no one in place knew they had scored another untill well after. But got chucked out after the game at some point as I was under age and they realised my dad had been giving me vodka to put in my can of juice. Ended up heading along the road to the pub they all drink in to wind them up, on the way Big Marv drive past me and my mate and stops for a couple of mins to hear the songs. His church was in Kirkcaldy which is just next to the village I live in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfc_watp 1,503 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Watched it at home with my dad as a 16 year old. Flicking between the channels in the hope of a Motherwell goal. Will never forget my Dad going mental when it went in, was running around screaming smacking the walls with hands When the 2nd goal went in was bedlam. My mum was in with her pal seeing what was going on. What a feeling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CF2 WINNIE 1,006 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Was in the Elizabethan (now closed) in Berwick that day, Unreal for an 11 year old getting in to see it alone was good enough will never ever forget the reactions for both goals unbeatable.

Brackley 1,398 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Old memory not what it used to be but seem to remember McNee doing the tv commentary on our game and with a couple of minutes to go says something like " well Rangers now need a miracle" . No sooner had he uttered this and the Rangers end erupted at the news of Motherwells first goal. Never to be forgotten day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom0411 1,226 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Was in an absolutely jammed Rumours in Barrhead obviously just a show of defiance when a wee lad sitting with his feet on the edge of a table with earphones on right at back of the pub started shouting & table went over with pints going everywhere. Everyone looked at him trying to figure what the hell he was doing. TV screen then switched over to their game to show 1st goal cue place going mental. Wee lad shouted again & everyone thought it was full time, TV changes again then it was bedlam/madness/craziness. On drive down to Ibrox never seen so many people giving us thumbs up and smiling. That's when I realised we really are a huge silent majority. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Walnuts 1,061 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I turned the telly off, went and played the PlayStation then got a phone call from a mate asking if I wanted to go to Ibrox when I asked why he said cos Rangers just won the league and I still didn’t believe him until we were pretty much down at the stadium Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuistraHairDo 12,489 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I can remember big Marv in the paper on the run up with his message "believe" ...well it must of hit a nerve with me because that Sunday I played Sunday league and scored 2, went from football to the bookies and stuck a fiver on the Rangers/ motherwell double it was 20/1 ..... I can't remember much of the games ...I cant even mind if i watched or we listened to the radio but me and my bro went mental when macdonald scored that overhead kick .... needless to say I was back in the bookies within about 20 mins after and collected £105 and we got absolutely writ off! I can only echo above and say it was an amazing day considering we weren't at the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
