I think he was a Morton fan. Was a season ticket holder for years at Cappielow. Sad to hear of his death, was part of my childhood, watching Scotsport on a Sunday afternoon while the Parents were doon the Pub.

Falkirk born, Ye Ken? Perhaps a Scottish born, not necessarily Rangers born, but who knows what it means to be a Ranger, is what our policy should be with regards to our signing policy over the next few years. Let us get back to the basics of being Rangers. Once we do that, the rest will take care of itself.

Thinking about some of the players I have supported in the Blue Shirt, I was struck with a sudden feeling of appreciation ad respect for the above mentioned. One of my favourite memories of being a Bear was celebrating the goal he scored against Dundee United at Tannadice. Older Bears may remember the ridiculously steep terracing that ran down the length of the pitch, suffice to say it went mental, as a goal from Stuart Munro was as rare as Hobby Horse shit. Despite his limitations as a player, he knew what it mean to play for Rangers, Top Man.
Does anyone else have a good memory of some of our more unsung Heroes?

The day we stop moaning about The Gers I the day we should really start worrying

How long until Temps takes a thump?

Got to get to grips with Oyenuga. Guy is obviously out to impress, shop window and all that.

We only have to worry about us. Hearts have played out of their skin so far, have also ridden their luck. The goal against Hibs was one in a thousand. When injuries and suspension hit, they will struggle.
We have the best squad and team in our League, Boyd and Miller will fire us to automatic promotion no matter who our manager may be.

Given what we have been through recently, surely no other Bear can begrudge another having a wee snigger tonight at the expense of that lot.
We all know about our troubles, but part of being a Bear is hating the Mhanks and enjoying their misfortune. Let your hair down for once tonight lads, it cannot do any harm.

Was in Tel Aviv a few years back now. Remember practically nothing about the game at Bloomfield, different story though with the pubs down on the beach before and after the game.
Hospitality was brilliant, the locals had never seen so many travelling fans for a Club match before, the party at the beach was one of the highlights of my Rangers experiences over the years. Seem to remember local young ladies dancing topless on the tables, fantastic atmosphere well into the wee small hours, and most surprisingly (and most welcome) a heavily armed guard of Israeli troops stationed nearby to make sure that we were not bothered by anyone trying to make a political point with a car full of semtex.
Great trip.

Rangers Vs St Etienne.
Standing on The Derry End with my Dad, only 4 years old wondering why all of these grown up men were getting so upset.
I found out why they were getting so upset over the next few years as I followed us around the country getting battered from pillar to post until Big Tel headed home the winner at Pittodrie.
Joy unconfined, still my happiest memory as a Bluenose, not even surpassed by the delirium of Helicopter Sunday.

Horrendous news. The epitome of a Ranger. An Edinburgh lad, who supported the Hearts, but who ended up as one of he greatest Gers there ever will be.

It go's without saying that I have regretted not going ever since. How many times can any Bear alive apart from the very youngest, can have any hope of seeing us get to the latter stages of a European competition in our lifetime?
-
Hopefully you know what I mean, a proper, for real, means really something game. ( Not that Rangers v Forfar does not matter or mean any less to the Diehard Bluenose)

I did it once. Balked at the price quoted by Rangers Travel Club for semi at Fiorientina. For the money they wanted I would have expected at least a two day trip, or a fortnights holiday in Teneriffe.
Instead I watched the game in The District, and although the atmosphere in there was brilliant, I must admit that I would have given anything to have been in the away section that night as wee Nahco tucked away the penalty that took us to the Final in Manchester.

I know how you feel BNB. Has my pocket dipped in the Fanzone before the game against Sporting during our run to the UEFA Cup Final. Lost my cash, and match ticket, for some reason the Bawbag left my cards as I discovered when I found my wallet lying on the ground a few yards away.
The Rangers steward who I approached with my predicament was brand new, handed over a replacement ticket no problem when I to him what had occurred, seems that I was far from being the only one targeted by the Portuguese pocket dippers.
At least I was not thieved by a fellow Bear unlike the time I was sold a counterfeit for a game at Pittodrie by a so called Bluenose. I was just a youngster at the time, early teens, how a Bear could do such a thing to a fellow Bluenose, a kid at that , just beggars belief.

Hard as it maybe to do so, remember how you feel tonight, how you felt last Sunday, how you felt during the very worst time of our Clubs existence.
Remember how you felt now, remember how you felt today as you watched those Arab B'stards gloat.
Difficult as it will be to remember all of the crap we have been subjected to over the last few years, make sure that you do no not forget the despair.
When we win our next major honour, when we skelp Dundee United, when we gub The Mhanks, when The Stadium is rocking to the sound of The Champions League theme, when we return to our place at the pinnacle of Scottish football, the memory of today will make our triumph so much the sweeter.
I watched as we struggled through the Eighties, I watched us getting beat at The Piggery for 9 years in succession.I watched as we were humbled by the great and not so great of European football.
I watched as we gubbed the Mhanks on their own midden, I watched as we won the League at Pittodrie, (Soooouness), I watched as Super scored at Leeds, I watched as we humbled Lyon, PSG, Porto, Juventus(John McDonald) I watched as Big Goughie cried at Tannadice, I watched on Helicopter Sunday,I nearly fell off the top deck of Hampdens main stand when Lovelypants scored in the last minute.
We will enjoy the good times again. Maybe not under the current regime, maybe not under the regime that wants to replace the current regime, but given that what we are and who we are, anyone who doubts that we will once again be the undisputed premier footballing institution of Scotland is either the Worlds biggest pessimist or the Wolrds most deluded fool.
Although it is not pleasant you have to experience the rough in able to enjoy the smooth.
Rangers shall prevail.
Anyone remember these old items?

I have one of those, although not in such good condition. It is inside my pristine John Greig Testimonial program.
I also have several silky style scarves from 70's, and a mint condition official commemorative mug from Argentina 78, still in the box.
