Callum_Doon 1,036 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Don54, you mentioned a short time ago, your surprise that there were no archive Rangers team photos between certain years in our history.

As you note, somewhat peculiar gaps there? Comprehensively doubt if we can find anything you haven't, however, least we know precisely now what's 'missing'. There's a surprising amount...!

The Glasgow FA team was: Rough (Partick), McGrain (celtic), Whittaker (Partick), Jardine (Rangers), McDonald (celtic), Forsyth (Rangers), McLean (Rangers) - sub McNaughton (Queen's Park), Dalglish (celtic), Craig (celtic), MacDonald (Rangers), Johnstone (Rangers) - sub Somner (Partick) Football League side was: Corrigan (Man City), Clements (Man City), Peach (Southampton), Stanley (Chelsea), Watson (Man City), Wilkins (Chelsea), Francis (Birmingham), Channon (Southampton), Royle (Man City), -sub Barnes (Man City), Owen (Man City), Tueart (Man City) The reason for the preponderance of Man City players was that they had completed their league programme and many other English sides hadn't. Players from Liverpool and Man Utd couldn't be considered anyway as these clubs still had to play in the FA Cup Final and Liverpool also had the European Cup Final coming up. By contrast the Scottish domestic season was over. In any case Man City were a strong side at the time and had finished runners-up to Liverpool by just one point. Dennis Tueart put the FL ahead in the first half. Sandy Jardine equalised from the spot after the break and Kenny Dalglish scored to make the final result 2-1 for the home team. The attendance was 28,380. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
