The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Rangers v StMirren at Ibrox 1984, shortly followed by the 3-2 Scottish Cup home defeat to Dundee, then the win at home to Bohemians of Dublin in the UEFA Cup. My most vivid memory is walking up the endless stairs to the old main stand, and when I seen the lush green pitch with the floodlights on it looked truly magical. I will never forget that, I was hooked, and it was Rangers for me from that moment on. 32Blue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyscott1963 18,287 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Was 12 and it was the SC replay against the tramps on the 15th May 1963. Used the rent money and dogged the school,jumped on a train on my own,and just followed the crowd. Knew I would have the money back by the weekend as I was a milk boy,and did papers at night We beat them 3-0 with 2 from Ralphie Brand and Davie Wilson got the other. It has been a life time of my only team. gmcf, 32Blue and 35 Yard Dangerman 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy800 34 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Against Third Lanark 61/62 season and beat them 3-1 at Ibrox. Really foggy and remember they only opened the gates around 2pm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 My Dad always took us to the Main Stand, as a boy and young man he frequented the old shed, which became the Centenary Stand. I think that because he done very well for himself financially, that going to the Main Stand was going up the Glesga business and social ladder ha ha, but in a way it probably was back then.

The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Other memories include, we always parked at The Swallow Hotel, another is looking up at the Rangers badge on the side of the Main Stand. Drinking Orange kwenchy cups lol, had to be orange eh. Seeing Jock Stein (Nuff said about that ha), the smell of pipe and cigar smoke is another clear memory. Getting a programme, which i still have to this day. These are probably things that the current generation are a bit Meh about, but for us in the 1980s, they are very special memories. 35 Yard Dangerman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILLYBOY50 1,638 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Dunfermline at east end park I think it was 1973 or 1974 the gers won 6-1 and Derek parlane scored 5 of the goals and became an instant hero of mine. Before that I was at boghead to see the gers against Dumbarton but don't remember much about it as I was a lot younger then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
