I think at the time that was the longest single span structural beam in the world (or I might have dreamt that)

Yep I’m sure that was the story at the time.  

Liked it when it went up & still like it now, they got that design bang on for me.   

In desperate need of a clean, hopefully in the Anniversary plans.

Don't think I posted this Meiklejohns penalty. By the looks of it scored with a beach ball.

The First Team

I wonder what it was like to found a team form nothing and twenty years later, thousands of people are coming to watch the team you created.

I love that Tom Vallance was present the days when the ball was being kicked over the dandelions on Fleshers Haugh in 1872, and towards the end of his life watched Rangers play in front of crowds in excess of 100,000 people.

what a proud moment that must have been for Tom Vallance and coming up for our 150th anniversary would be fitting if we done something to recognize this and our gallant pioneers

our last game in the FA Cup

Is this Simpson scoring the only goal of the 1955 Glasgow charity  cup  semi final at Parkhead on the 7th of May.

[G.A.T.J. 580]

Another goal that's wrongly tagged. This is in fact Murray's late equaliser to make the score 4-4. Simpson did score earlier to put Rangers 2-1 up.

The white wall at the front of the terracing would suggest Ibrox to me rather than Parkhead.

I had narrowed it down to either of two games the other being our 4-1 win at Ibrox on the 1/1/55. A game in which Johnny Hubbard scored a hat-trick.

my grandfather told me about this final ,told me it was his first winning he saw and he was in his 40,s he was too young in the early days then he waited 25 year to see it ,in the first w,w, he said appart from his family all he wanted to see his team lift the cup and he did ,first took me to see east fife final  it was my first and i dont forget it.

My grandfather told me in the twenties with no mobile phones or television , bears who didn't attend the games would often go to their local train station to find out the score from returning fans. Which led to the famous verse, "Doon the line the train came puffing , Rangers four celtic nothing"

[G.A.T.J. 580]

24/9/49  Another time that "Doon the line the train came puffing, Rangers four celtic nothing"

Rutherford's shot flies past Miller the celtic goalie for the opener.

Waddell makes it 3-0 from the penalty spot.

I doubt the celtic defender KNEW at the time this was taken but he certainly did later on.
