Sander2006 50 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I was there, although I cant remember to much about it now. It was the reserve team that was up and I can remember Pressley playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighlandBear 1 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Rangers used to send a 2nd 11 too Lewis most summers to play against a few of the local teams. Back in the 80's and early 90's. Not sure if they do it so much any more though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackRegan 1 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Amazing how many of these guys I recognise since I live in their "catchment area". Some good pics of these guys from years ago. There was a Rangers XI up here a couple of years ago to open Point's pitch but it was a horrendous night which affected the attendance. Couldn't tell you the score though I'm afraid. Even then Pressley didn't look as if he was interested in being a Gers player. Staffin Loyal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stornowayrovers 0 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I've seen Rangers play three times in Lewis. In 1985 they played against Lochs FC at Goathill Park, Stornoway to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Rangers team included Andy Bruce,Davie McFarlane,Billy Davies,Iain Durrant,Andy Kennedy and Robert Fleck. In 1991 they played Carloway FC opening their new pitch. One player that stood out in that game was Steven Pressley. Carloway have a pretty decent set up in Lewis football terms having arguably the best pitch on the island,decent changing rooms and a pretty decent support by Lewis standards. Now they need to win silverware Most recently on a wet and windy night they played Point FC again opening their new pitch.All I can remember about the game was trying to stay dry and warm, the horrendous mistake by the Rangers goalie to gift Point an equaliser and the size of the crowd on an absoluetly awful night. Rangers also played against a North Uist side in the 1980s. Maybe someone on here can remember that game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chookes 21 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Most recently on a wet and windy night they played Point FC again opening their new pitch.All I can remember about the game was trying to stay dry and warm, the horrendous mistake by the Rangers goalie to gift Point an equaliser and the size of the crowd on an absoluetly awful night.It really was an awful night. Grant Adam was the goalie that night, letting in a 30+ yard free-kick (Point's only shot on goal, IIRC). I remember Jamie Ness was playing in the middle that night.
