stuart54 218 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Haha well this has been a complete success. I think I'll just pick decent stories and upload them when I can.I apologise as I didnt read your post correctly - thought it was 'to' 1919 and that is why I asked for 30th June 1899. That was my late grandparents wedding date.Sorry about that mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 If it was for Scotland then I doubt it would be in the book. It's only famous Rangers victories. Sorry.no need to apologise mate, you made it clear it was just about Rangers. Was just chancing my luck incase the report was in there, I first read about it in a Rangers book.

minstral 5,375 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 do you have the report, not Rangers related, but he was a Rangers player - Bob McColl aka R.S.McColl (the guy who started the chain of shops. He scored a hat-trick against england whilst playing for us. It was early 1900's, dunno the exact date, or even decade. Maybe someone can help out with the date???Edit: whilst playing for us, I meant he was our player. He was playing for scotland when he scored the hat-trickIt was 19-01 mate when Scotland beat England 4-1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMac 1,405 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Can anyone remember at the 4-4 game in 86, did we know that Souness was going to sign, i'm sure we either knew or at least there was a rumour that something was about to happen?Wonder if any articles mention it.

I attended the match and dont recall anything other than the goals and the terrible weather.Dont think there was even a hint about what was going to happen.

For defini te i attended Jock Wallaces last game on a sunday afternoon (2-0 loss to Tottenham) and there was no talk of GS at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
