The weird thing is that many Rangers fans travel over it on the way home from a match Lol. And I bet almost none of them have a clue Cheers.

A team from the other side of the city have lost more cup finals than any team on the planet ? We better remember to start winning them again as we've won fuck all in 7 years.

Bobby McColl is 100% too young to be the wee guy on top of the Scottish cup mate. Probs wrong then mate. I'll see if I can find the advert again and see what it says.

Rupret 223 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Biggest old firm win 8-1, cue article ... Jan 1, 1943, Rangers hammered their unwashed rivals from across town 8-1. The Rangers team featured some famous names from the club's history, including Scott Symons, who would lead Rangers as manager to six League titles and five Scottish Cups, Willie Waddell, who would serve the club with distinction as player, manager and director over a 50-year career, and Dougie Gray, the club's longest serving player. Unofficial it might have been, uncompetitive it was not. As Glasgow stirred the morning after that particular Hogmanay, having ushered in a new year of uncertain fate, the lure of the Old Firm was strong enough to attract a crowd of 30,000 to Ibrox - restrictions were in place on the size of public gatherings - and the intensity of feeling on the field was such that two celtic players were sent off. As is noted in the Official Biography of Rangers, written by Ronnie Esplin and Graham Walker: "The game featured the usual controversies. Indiscipline and harassment of the referee resulted in celtic having two players sent off following George Young's spectacular 50-yard free kick that gave Rangers a 4-1 lead in the second half." Newspaper reports suggested that celtic's Malky McDonald was convinced that a Rangers player was offside at the moment Young unleashed his shot. The official in charge took exception to the tone of McDonald's argument and sent him off. Appearing later before the Scottish FA, McDonald was fined £10 and suspended for the remainder of the season. Matt Lynch, having continued to protest, was also sent off, fined £5 and banned until March. In front by 4-1 and with celtic obliged to play for most of the second half with nine men, Rangers took full advantage. Torry Gillick finished with a hat-trick, with Waddell bagging two and Young adding a penalty to his long-range effort. Jimmy Duncanson, who had given Rangers an early lead, was the other name on the scoresheet, along with celtic's Davie Duncan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must've been the best old firm game of all time (tied with the 0-3 at the tattie dome in '99) I now know my first stop if I ever get a time machine :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Mark Hateley was one of the greatest headers of the ball in Rangers' history. He had the distinction of scoring 9 times against ra sellick - not one was a header 8 with his left foot 1 with his right - funny game eh?

East Enclosure Row N 2,861 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 From 1986 to 1990, one of the joint top scorers against Rangers was ........ Terry Butcher - with six own goals! I think the other was Frank McAvennie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
