TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 In our clubs history? This is just my opinion but 18 months ago we were all worried that we wouldn't even have a club to support and within two short years we bounce back and take one of the major honours from the third tier. That's downright romantic.Not to mention all the other factors like squad depletion, transfer embargo's, being crowbarred into the bottom tear, stumbling from disaster to disaster off the pitch, etc, etc. I think it'll be up there with our greatest ever achievements and I've been present at some magical nights for our club such as Leeds United and Champions League run, 9 in a row at Tannidice, Parma, winning the League at Parkhead, Manchester, Rugby Park 2011, etc.Regardless what people think about that, it'll be some feeling to be competing for and winning the major honours again.

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The most satisfying for sure - no debate Achievement wise I'm unsure as we do have the second best squad, wage bill etc in Scotland and resources that dwarf everyone else Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 "Downright romantic" your new favourite phrase?Anyway, it would certainly rank as one of our best cup wins, I don't think with our resources it should be out of the question but to do it as a third tier team would still be pretty special.

skinnymate1690 783 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 i think it depends how we get there , if we got an easy run without spl teams then to be honest i dont think it would be a massive achievment but if we had to get past a couple of dundee utd , ict and aberdeen then it would be a big deal Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannerall 25,935 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Would be downright orgasmic.Would be the greatest against the odds achievement by our team ever, remember where we were 12 months ago.Don't want to get too carried away though, so will still go with us being the underdogs for now.

When have we not had that? I didn't say it would be the greatest either, I said it would up there with our greatest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 21,707 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 If we even get to the final I'll probably shoot enough load to impregnate a female fitba team. If we win I'll die.Worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the rest of the league have similar resources as we romped our way to 9IAR? As long as I can remember we've been in the top 2 for wages etc. I never heard any one say that our domestic successes were lessened by it.

ArchibaldLeitch 380 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 To win the scottish cup at torbett towers while in league one will be one of the sweetest moments in my rangers supporting life considering what we have had to endure these last 2 years.It will be the biggest GIRFUY to our haters in a football sense to date.

As long as I can remember we've been in the top 2 for wages etc. I never heard any one say that our domestic successes were lessened by it.But your talking like I'm saying it's not an achievement - it is You've used this 9 in a row analogy on a few people on here but I don't see the comparison 9 in a row was a massive achievement collectively but on a year by year basis except for the last two titles it wasn't a massive thing for me as there was no challenge - it was little steps on the way to the big prize Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornabear 6,270 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 History shows we were favourites to win the cup on many many occasions, in those days we all expected to us win.This year, from the first kick off, we all hoped for a good run, that's all.We are now on the cusp (with a bit of luck in today's draw) of adding to our glorious and enviable history.Yes, winning the cup this year would certainly go down as a great achievement.

eejay the dj 31,964 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Winning it at the Scumdome when we are in 3rd league of Scottish football surely puts that at the very top of all time wins???Can you imagine how we would feel .? 4 Helicopter Sundays wrapped into one .The whole of Scottish football would be in mourning .FFS the beggars are probably canvassing Doncaster at this very minute to come forth with a statement saying 'there has been a mistake .The Final cant go on as planned at Scumdome due to unforeseen circumstances .
