Ryan_1 1,136 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 My earliest memories of being a Rangers fan are the week of us losing 10IAR and the 98' Scottish Cup final. What a horrible week it was and some people call me a glory hunter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KarlG45 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Ibrox 1975 or '76 against St Johnstone as a 10 year old. I THINK we won 4-1, but I could be wrong. I was in the Celtic part of the enclosure, and I just remember looking at the size of the terraces at the Celtic end (completely empty of course, I think the crowd was only about 20,000) and thinking "FUCK ME, HOW MANY PEOPLE COULD FIT IN THERE??"

Silver Fox 167 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 First game i went to was at Ibrox around 1968 ish, Rangers V Dunfermline, Dunfermline had a decent team then and I think they made it to the semis of the Cup Winners Cup around then, anyway The game ended 0-0 and as I was only about 10 and not really the avid football fan I was to become, I came away wondering what all the fuss was abouyt with this boring football larkTook me until 16 Yr old Derek Johnstone scored the winner angainst the paranoids before I really got exited about rangers, and seen good times and bad times since thenC'mon the Gers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManchestGer 347 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I always supported Rangers but my first memory was about 1990, I lived in Holland till I was nearly 7 but we were in Glasgow visiting family and my Dad promised to get me the Rangers shirt while we were over. Remember going back to Holland and playing football with the other kids about and all of them kept asking what team it was, told them exactly what I was told.

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Was about 5, and it was the 1978 Tennents Caledonian Tournament. Checked and it Rangers Vs Southampton. It was the terracing at the Broomloan and you walked up stairs and then saw the pitch- was amazing. Love even thinking about it. I knew when I left Ibrox that day I was a Rangers fan. Fell in Love with the Club that day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM1872 3,772 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Not sure who they were playing, but the earliest rangers moment for me was running into the living room and looking at the TV which had the cameras running its way through the Ibrox crowd. A European game none the less, August or March, I'm not sure. It was sunny though. Must have been about 1998 or something. I was around 5 or 6 then.My first game though has to be the one. Rangers v KAA Genk - 7th of July 2000. Rangers won 3 - 2. Was only a friendly but a great experience for a 7 year old none the less Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMenace72 133 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Running upstairs in disgust when Celtic were winning an OF in the closing stages, only for Rangers to equalise.
