minstral 5,375 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Right, I didn't realise it was quite that early he played. I wonder if he was as good as his son.He only played around 8 games for our club, so would say that he was just average. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is great when we talk about the football, instead of all the arguments. Correct mate,fck could not even tell you who were board members of yesteryear,too many egotistical guys nowadays,look no further than the Premiership,we know most of the owners of clubs than some of the players themselves.......changed days.Big Jock Wallace would have told the board to fck up and let him concentrate on the football side of things....no problem.

Muirheadbear 1,483 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Bit of a quirky father and son are James Simpson who played for Rangers in the 1930's and Ronnie Simpson the Rhats goalie in the 1960's! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shetland Bear 443 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Did you see James Parlane play for us or was that before your time minstral?I have a story about James Parlane. My Granny had a cousin called Bobby Frew who was on the books of Rangers just after WW2. Played for the Reserves as an Inside Left. However he finally got a call-up to the first team and the whole family went to Ibrox to see him play. However on the Saturday morning, James Parlane returned home unexpectedly early from his Army duty and was put straight into the team at Bobby's expense! He never did go on to make a first team appearance for Rangers and was released not too long after. So Parlane Snr robbed me of the chance to say I was related to a Rangers player!
