HG5 11,134 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 As an above poster said we have tortured them on a few occasions notably helicopter sunday twice, the championship win at porkheid but for me the proudest moment was probably the CL win at Elland Road when beat Leeds and knocked them out, i took immense satisfaction from that night.Was at Elland Road that night - it's up there for me too!

Tiebreak54 151 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 1 May 2008. Greatest day as a Rangers fan, and we have fortunately had a few. The fact it was my birthday was a nice bonus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant_1986 73 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Nothing could ever beat winning the league at Parkhead, although I did feel a huge sense of pride at beating Lyon 3-0 away from home a few seasons back. Big Lee with a bullet header!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HG5 11,134 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I was in Lincoln that night after a RAF cup match. Sooooo many bears there I thought it was home. Excellent! Did you win?Was a tricky one, as there weren't meant to be any Gers fans there. Got lucky - girl at work's husband couldn't go, so I got his ticket. Her dad had invited a few guys down from Glasgow, who had invited him to the first leg, so there was a wee cadre of us! Was tough, trying to be polite while being smug at the same time!

S1lv3r 274 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Title clincher against the sheep in 1991, only final day league decider I've been lucky enough to attend, atmosphere, match and outcome was superb Same as this fella.... our team was well smacked with injuries, 'they' had a right good side/ we pumped em ... superb !

boab54 4 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Saturday 3rd of August 1996. The first time I ever set foot inside Ibrox. Richard Gough's testimonial when we beat Arsenal 3-0. It was the source of a few essays at school. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillete 1,338 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 plenty of great great experiences, barcalona a few years ago was special but sitting in my car on the driveway of my new house, listening to helicopter sunday unfold was a day i'll never forget, the fucking car was rocking, the horn was blowing, and all my new neighbours where informed that day that the guy in number 105 was a bluenose and that the teddy bears had just won the league Haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionRedHMS 190 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I've been going for years but only started drinking in the 06-07 season and funnily enough, best memories are after this.The 3-1 humping of the tims at the tattiedome was magic, Edu 1-0 was insane, the game where McCulloch salvaged a point in hell was magestic but the 3-2 game last season was out of this world. The best booze session and atmosphere there has been for me.The day we won the league up at Shittoddrie ,big butchers header and going home with some shittoddrie turf.Long wait for a title but boy it was great.

FlippinEck 3,707 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Brechin was brilliant. After a very long summer and everything that happened, getting back to the football was great. When the players came out the atmosphere exploded. Brechin didn't know what hit them! Performance was poor mind you Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelavic191 4,474 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 From a non-football perspective - the first day season tickets went on sale this year and there's was huge queues of bears going to renew!!Winning title number 50 at Ibrox is my best day I think!

tartansmokie 36 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Has to be the day Charles Green took over. It meant Rangers were saved and stuck it right up the rest of Scottish football that we were not going away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast forward to 2008 and due to our workforce being affected by illness - my gaffer wouldn't give me the time off to go to Manchester.So therefore, the European highlight of my life (that I was present at) was the semi-final at Ibrox against West Germany Bayern Munich but even though I wasn't there, Barcelona 72 was the day of all days for me as a Rangers fan.

legalbeagle 3,734 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 For me, it was actually an away game at Celtic, The Prince scored after 10 minutes or so, we were in complete control.Second half, Gazza missed a penalty, then we missed what seemed like endless chances through one on one with the keeper, culminating in PVV scooping it over the bar.The when the Goalie saved their penalty seconds later, I have never celebrated so much at anything but a goal.My brother driving us back home, scarves flying out the window and singing was just immense.

I listed all my 'worldly possessions', (bike, stereo etc....) and was prepared to flog the lot. My dad relented (I think my mother had a bit of sway there) and they paid for my trip. Manchester - was there as well. 4000mile round trip for that one.Was sure we were going to win. In fact I met my M8 outside the ground. A person whom I hadn't seen in years but who was one of the gang I was with in Barcelona. Thought it was going to be an 'omen' sadly not.
