I remember the 77 Scottish Cup final in the Rangers End and when they were awarded a penalty it rained bottles and cans and down the front it parted as fans ran for cover, was no joke for them down the front.

I wore a hard hat back in the day. So did a good few on our bus. I remember a really bad day at love street when the bottles were raining down and a guy next to me got his head opened.

Crazy days

Yes!!

it wisny a hard hat you needed it was an air raid shelter

[True Azure 1,414]

Anyone on here remember an article by Roger Baillie I think, on the 72 Barcelona final, I'm convinced I read " the Guarda Civil were battering the Rangers fans who ran on to the field at the end of the game, then began beating others. Suddenly hails of Cava bottles came raining down like mortar bombs on the Guarda from the top tiers of the stadium causing them flee..........."????????????

...or an umbrella, god only knows what was in some of those bottles!

[steinandbud 9]

used to have one painted red ,white and blue with players names on it

[Edmiston Drive 3,846]

I was at that game. Big John Greig came up to our end to try to stop the bottles getting chucked onto the pitch, some guy near us shouted "and you've been fuckin' shite aw nite tae" before launching a Newccy Broon bottle at him.

I also remember standing on the terracing with my Dad at Ibrox when it was too packed to get down the front and bevvied up punters all around pissing where they stood, getting pushed from the back and inevitably pishing down the back of some poor cunt in front of them with the shouts of, "awfurrfuxsake ya dirty cunt".

I was behind the dugout at Newcastle as I was on trial and got school pals in. yeah that pissing thing if the bastards caught you, that warm feeling, then cold as fuck then the smell

We got into the game thanks to The Mermaid bus parking up near us and the bears on the bus having the foresight to bring a set of ladders to allow us with no tickets to avail ourselves of the "£1 tae get up the ladders boys" offer.

I remember guys wearing the hard hats painted up and also guys wearing Doc Martens with the leather panels painted up red, white and blue. Scarfs worn tied around the wrists of course.

[loyalandtrueblue 69]

Lol! Brings back the memories!

Mine had a Union flag at the front and RFC on both sides, that and my silk scarf tied round my wrist and let's not forget the bell bottom jeans! Lol

Sadly no pictures but I still have the scarf!

The Wrangler or Levi jacket had your mums embroidery saying RANGERS across the shoulders at the back,it was usually in red or white wool.

HaHa!!!! At least us gentlemen had the decancy to open up an empty beer can with a 2 bob bit and pish in it, all the while hoping nobody scored while you were pishing incase your knob got sliced open on the sharp edges

[andymcg1986 259]

Still can't find any pictures of these, one of you old codgers must have 1

[Blue Viking 702]

I remember those days so well- me and my brother wore those hats !

Wasn't just bottles that were getting throwing, once a supporter got a dart in the head !

I have a newspaper clipping some where- will try and find it and post it.

[Non_Sucumbi 876]

Mines was yellow with all sort of Gers stuff painted over --- great days.

The hats came in handy when it rained down coins which were being donated to some charity or other. Who remembers the students rag-week???

This for the younger bears is true. People would walk around the pitch-side with a bloody big white bed sheet. Fans were then encouraged to throw coins which would be collected in the sheet and donated to some charity or other.

Problem was that many fans threw like 'fannies' and got nowhere near the track usually belting some old guy or wee boy on the napper.

Never bothered me - just bounced off my hard hat.

[Edmiston Drive 3,846]

Yeah that was the only reason I never went to the 67 Final in Nuremberg , made 3 out of our 4 finals, he told me that he just made it out before the trials started at the end of the war.

[tam57 698]

I can remember the bottles and darts being thrown.The days when they collected for charity it was pennies you had to avoid they ran round the pitch with a big sheet collecting them.

Remember it well,all the young ones who were standing doon the front made an absolute fortune,picking up tanners,single shillings,and the occasional hauf croon.

I bet the students used to hate The Gers playing The Sheep on such days,As collecting at their end of the ground would involve a fair bit of ingenuity in trying to grab the coins before the elastic bands they were attached to retracted.!
