Ger for life 199 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I'd like that.I would like us to wear the Gallant Pioneers' colours for one season, similar to what Arsenal did a few years ago when they wore the plum coloured jerseys to celebrate their roots. Thoughts guys? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brido1873 3 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 140 years = 54 titles.141 years = 55 titles and we are still going strong. 121 years in League Football and including the 7 titles won in the war years we have won it once in less than every 2 seasons.Rangers won 25 of 34 trophies up for grabs in the war years,yet we had many a player serving their country's cause.
