Another time that " Doon the line the train came puffing, Rangers four celtic nothing"
This time 2/1/48 at Parkhead , Here is Willie Thornton's fierce shot for 2-0

Jock Shaw leads out the Rangers team, followed by Dawson before the Clyde v Rangers Glasgow Cup semi-final held at Shawfield Park, 24th September 1945.

I had narrowed it down to either of two games the other being our 4-1 win at Ibrox on the 1/1/55. A game in which Johnny Hubbard scored a hat-trick.

Another goal that's wrongly tagged. This is in fact Murray's late equaliser to make the score 4-4. Simpson did score earlier to put Rangers 2-1 up.

Is this Simpson scoring the only goal of the 1955 Glasgow charity  cup  semi final at Parkhead on the 7th of May.

I love that Tom Vallance was present the days when the ball was being kicked over the dandelions on Fleshers Haugh in 1872, and towards the end of his life watched Rangers play in front of crowds in excess of 100,000 people.

my grandfather told me about this final ,told me it was his first winning he saw and he was in his 40,s he was too young in the early days then he waited 25 year to see it ,in the first w,w, he said appart from his family all he wanted to see his team lift the cup and he did ,first took me to see east fife final  it was my first and i dont forget it.

I went to see a game in Moscow in 1985.  Torpedo v Dnepr.  The stadium was pretty awful.  The track was surrounded by a line of soldiers.  Every time the crowd got excited the troops all stood up and faced the terracing then sat down again. Oleg Protasov scored a hat trick for Dnepr in a 3 nil win.    Strange thing was at half time I was looking about and saw a Russki about 2 or 3 rows behind looking at an old  Queen's Park programme.

Both of these pictures claim to be Rangers second goal scored by McPhail in the 1928 Scottish cup final. However I can't work out how the celtic keeper in the second picture is lying on the ground as if he's dived when in the first picture he's behind the goalscorer. Can anyone shed any light on it ?

Paul Gascoigne's first game for Rangers.   Name the team we were playing.
