Alec87 331 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Making it to 96 would be quite an achievement today. Never mind 1972 !. Great find OP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears 791 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 A great read from back when journalism didn't come with a snarky comment in stories about us. If it was written by a 'Life on Mars' reporter from today, it could have included 'a supporter of Rangers, a club which will, of course, die in forty years time.'
