Zetland reacted to TEFTONG in Rangers 72 film (and website)
Loved it.
Laughed at wee Willie's cheeky grin and sitting on the ball.
Cried when everyone was talking about how much they missed Sandy.
I managed to talk my Dad through finding it on Prime whilst on the phone to him for what felt like forever. But he called back as soon as he had finished watching it to tell me how much he loved it too.

Zetland reacted to ayrshireranger in Rangers 72 film (and website)
The trailer for Rangers72, a new feature film reliving Rangers Football Club’s incredible European Cup Winners’ Cup campaign, has been launched.
Rangers72 chronicles the extraordinary twists and turns of the captivating 1971/72 season which saw Ibrox legend Willie Waddell guide the Scottish giants to European glory at Barcelona’s iconic Nou Camp. Half a century on – and in the club’s 150th anniversary year – the emotional, poignant film features in-depth interviews with many of the heroes who delivered arguably Rangers’ finest hour.
These include Rangers greats John Greig, Derek Johnstone, Dave Smith, Peter McCloy, Alex MacDonald, Willie Johnston and Colin Stein, as well as tales from supporters and journalists such as Archie Macpherson. The trailer hints at the drama to come in the feature-length film, which is due to be released next month, as Hollywood actor James Cosmo’s dramatic narration casts a spell over the viewer.
The film is made by The City Talking Studios, who also produced the acclaimed docu-series ‘Take Us Home: Leeds United’ which was shown on Amazon Prime. Executive Producer Lee Hicken said: “It has been an honour to make this film both for Rangers fans and the wider world. The more we talked to the players and the fans who were there, the better the story became and we can't wait to share it with audiences around the globe.”
Giuseppe De Luca directed the film and interviewed many of the team who beat Russian side Dynamo Moscow in Barcelona. He said: “Rangers’ journey to lifting the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1972 is a story with a special club at its heart, of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, of circumstance and courage; this is football at its most relevant. I feel truly privileged to have been able to capture this story and share it with an audience”.
Willie Mathieson is another of the heroes to feature prominently in Rangers72, the story of Rangers’ only European trophy to date. He said: “Over 15 years I had the honour and privilege to serve Glasgow Rangers as a player, and the interview brought back many happy memories for me. Fifty years on, the memories of Barcelona remain the greatest achievement of my footballing career and to be able to see the film will be a very emotional and proud moment for me.”
The film and special collectors’ items are now available to pre-order at rangers72.com.
Details of the digital release of the film will be revealed in April.

Great player for us and for Scotland (when I was once proud to support them) ..... will never forget his part in the game against England when Caldow got his leg broken and davie moved from left wing to left back ... and played a blinder.
Sad to hear of his passing .... and convey my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Zetland reacted to Madina in Davie Wilson RIP
Sad news. He was one of my much missed Dad's fave players. Hed always tell me how he was over in Canada and Rangers or Scotland were over there at the time and he went for autographs and Davie just sprinted past him and wouldnt sign. He was gutted. Fast forward to maybe 15 years ago and before a game we were walking along near the main entrance and Davie was walking past us. We managed to get a pic and autograph and my Dad was delighted. It may have took an extra 35+ years but he finally got to see one of his heroes

Sad news. I recently read his autobiography "Wilson on the Wing" and would recommend it. He was just before my time but was clearly a great player.

I have fond memories of watching Davie Wilson and listening to his stories at functions. Davie gave everything in every game he played, had a good goal scoring record and could pick out a pass or a cross.
He was a class act.
RIP, sir.

Last time I met him was in Shawlands on a cold winters day and he had a Rangers scarf on ... I don't do selfies but it would have been a great picture
He was just the nicest guy and what would a class winger with an eye for goal be worth in the modern game?
RIP Davie

RIP to a true legend. That early to mid 60s team will live as long as Rangers exist.
