    Treble season 1948/49, the year of the Iron Curtain
    Our first treble, back in season 1948/49, is probably the least celebrated of the record 7 trebles we have won.

    A last-day dramatic title win at Albion Rovers in the league, on a day the prolific Willie Thornton scored a hat-trick, saw the title regained from the great Hibs team of the time.

    The League Cup was only in its third season, and Rangers won it for the second time, beating Raith Rovers 2-0 in the final.

    The Scottish Cup was retained in front of 120,162 at Hampden as Clyde were beaten 4-1.

    Rangers played a total of 44 games that season, and although the magnificent Thornton played a huge part in the clean sweep by scoring 34 goals, the triumph was built on the most famous defence in the history of the club, and of Scottish football.

    In the days of the 3-2-5 formations Rangers line-up for virtually the whole season saw Bobby Brown in goal, full backs George Young and Jock Shaw either side of centre half Willie Woodburn, behind Ian McColl and Sammy Cox at half back.

    This was the great Iron Curtain.

    In that season of 44 games, Bobby Brown played in all 44. George Young in 42. Jock Shaw captained the side and appeared 41 times. Willie Woodburn played in 42 games. Ian McColl in 41 matches. And Sammy Cox made 43 appearances.

    The rocks on which Mr Struth built his latest great Rangers team were virtually ever-present, and such was their combination of ability, determination, dedication and organisation, they are remembered to this day. All 6 players gave Rangers at least a decade of service, and in total they played an almost unbelievable 3169 times for the club.

    All 6 players are in the Hall of Fame, and they all deserve a place at the top table in among that company.

    Their names, and the Iron Curtain nickname, will live on forever as part of the great history of The Rangers Football Club.

    Amongst the countless medals and trophies they collected, they were the biggest reason why the first treble in the history of Scottish football was won.

    I doubt there will ever be a defensive unit to rival them in terms of longevity, consistency and success. Anywhere.
