Is this true or is it just tarrier myth would like to see proof and us having less than 10k at home games on more than a couple of occasions at the end of a shity season.  

Crowds where obviously smaller but saying we regularly got crowds of under 10k for lesser league games at Ibrox I’m not convinced this is true.  

Yes the odd ones, not regularly as you mention.    Have a look at some of the old records.  Here is one link.

As for the tarriers they managed plenty of sub 10000 crowds and that was their official figures!

Fair enough mate but it’s just showing highest lowest attendance of the season, they 5 lowest between 1980-1985 all under 10k could all just be the last league home game of the season.

How reliable is the link?

I was at one or two of the games.   Here is a link from a FF discussion of the same topic.

John Greig's last two full seasons as manager the average attendances were 1981/82 18,519 and 1982/83 17,969, according to The Rangers Football Companion book over both seasons there where 9 games in total over both seasons with attendances under 10,000,one against Dundee the Saturday before Xmas, the rest were games near the end of two poor seasons, what I remember was being in the Toby Jug by about ten past five without leaving early!
