J_RFC87 761 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 These pictures found here: http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?...um&album=51 Our domestic season was finished by May 1969, dropped 6 points in their last 6 League games and lost the title to Celtc by 5 points. Andy Penman penalty missed. Rangers dominated and missed a lot of sitters. The game was marred by crowd trouble, a lot of bottle throwing. Rangers team: Neef, Johansen, Provan, Greig, Jackson, D.Smith, Henderson, Penman, Stein, Jardine, Persson Rangers had Colin Stein suspended for the final seven games of the season. Played in all 3 home internationals after, and scored in all 3. 14th May, 1969 Fairs Cities Cup Semi Final at Ibrox Att 75,518.

Brubear 2,920 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I was only 9 then so my dad wouldn't take me but he was there. Always described it as the worst crowd trouble he had every experienced, worse than Barca 72. On a linked subject, anyone remember the fans climbing the floodlights to see a match at Pittodrie, not long after Ibrox disaster. Remember being there but also remember it made front page headlines in the Sunday's under the heading "how's this for football safety" or something like that.

BLUEDIGNITY 33,647 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 We got crammed into the area known as the paddock, cops couldn't control the queues outside and a gate was broken down, a lot got in without tickets, lucky there wasn't a disaster. Before the game in the pubs I remember they said to us we couldn't get tumblers and they gave us the drink in bottles, a lot of windows didn't see the logic of that idea later on. Those Newcastle Brown Ale bottles were heavy fcukers in them days. Also an remember announcement over the tannoy if you come on the park again the game will get abandoned, we were gettin beat 2-0 at that time, nuff said a invasion of the park duly began. Also a few Geordie fans came on behind the goals waving their scarfs and charge of the light blue brigade began ! Ah halcyon daze indeed ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
