8 (Eight) for the Rangers

[DarcheVinny 1,003]

Immediately after the game yesterday I was attempting to remember the last time that the Rangers hit 8 (Eight) in a competitive game and I couldn't think of anything in recent years, so I took to the archives this morning dug out just the post-WW2 results (because I don't have all day and there's too many the further back we go).

The thrashing of M'gladbach is the most impressive

I think we have to mention one result slightly earlier. It would really not be fair to omit it.

January 1st 1943: Rangers 8 c****c 1 with goals from Gillick 3, Waddell 2, Young 2, Duncanson.

Rangers had a great Team In the Sixties.

If I hadn't started work 15 mins ago I woulda gone all the way back.
