Found this which I thought might be of interest. Attributed as the queue for that game.

Spelling mistake, "Ghampion" ??? Is this a real ticket??

Yes it is the real deal.  It is misspelt like that on my old original.

I was talking about the Brazil game. Was that the queue for tickets for that game? Where would that be I wonder?

Fair enough. Definitely away to Thistle - we can see a glimpse of the legendary advertising sign: 'Firhill for Thrills, Johnstone's for Rolls'!

Probably correct with Firhill but the legendary 'Firhill for Thrills, Johnstone's for Rolls' sign was over at a corner.  Pretty sure it was north west corner where the brickwork boundary wall was much higher than the rest.

I thought that queue was for Rangers tickets probably leading to The Sportsman's Emporium  in St. Vincent Street which used to sell the tickets.

My mix-up, thought you were referring to being at the Inter Milan game - duly now noted it was JCDBigBear who recalled same from the ticket posted.

That photo is the crowd build up from the Milan match

If it helps, another example.

'The Rangers'? Would that not be unusual?

I still have a ticket from 1967 and it has "The Rangers v Real Zaragoza" .  It has never been unusual to refer to us as "The Rangers".

It was for the Inter game in 1965 I posted it a good while back

Rangers fans in 1965 forming a very orderly queue in St Vincent Street, stretching round to Hope Street to buy briefs for the Rangers v Inter Milan European Cup quarter-final tie. Rangers were three-one down from the first leg but it didn't deter supporters, and nearly 79,000 crammed into Ibrox to see Rangers beat the European cup holders 1-0 but sadly going out on aggregate. Inter went on to win the cup that year in the final against Benfica. Jim Forrest scored the Rangers goal that night and was their top scorer that year, however the shock cup defeat against Berwick saw him transferred.

Yea, that would be fine. Attributed from the 'Glasgow Herald' as 'Rangers v Inter Milan ticket queue 1965'.

If it was St Vincent St, then they probably sold the tickets from The Sportsman's Emporium!

Used to buy my Subbuteo stuff there ...LOL

Oops..never saw JCD's reply

If we have a look at contemporary home and away programs, especially including European ties, it seems to vary between 'The Rangers' and simply 'Rangers'.

Just something I noticed from the Inter Milan ticket and had never really thought about before!

This might be one of the last if not last that had "The Rangers" on it

What was the reason for that change?

Not sure about that

[Callum_Doon 1,036]

[Callum_Doon 1,036]

[Callum_Doon 1,036]

Note again, 'Rangers', not, 'The Rangers', from 1954.

[Callum_Doon 1,036]

1960 and 'The Rangers'.

[Callum_Doon 1,036]

Seems like that change to, 'The Rangers', was for some reason early 1960s?

Again, it's simply 'Rangers' here:

[Callum_Doon 1,036]

1961 and we are now, 'The Rangers'.

[Callum_Doon 1,036]

Is it maybe the case that, 'The Rangers', became reserved for European matches/friendlies and was never used in the Scottish league?
