Popular Post RockwellGers 14,754 Posted August 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2018 I've rewatched 4 or 5 epic victories against celtic tonight, culminating in this belter. For me Jorg Albertz was fucking untouchable in this, such a powerhouse in every department. Holding up the ball, running at players, passing, also blocking and defending. Running the show. What a player. Sometimes I think he's the best we've ever had. He also had the temperament for these games, check him booting Petrov then squaring up to him around 1:08 haha. So many great players in this side, and some great goals. My favourite goal was Amoruso's to make it 4-1, corner whipped in by Albertz and a bullet header, BOOM. Goals like that get such an explosive response in these games. Just thought i would share that, I've enjoyed reliving each of these and I've felt such a rush watching each goal go in. Can't wait for this game on Sept 2nd, regardless of different eras, different quality, so-called gaps or gulfs between teams, I will relish this and I know Gerrard's men will too.

Never tire of seeing this so you can imagine what the beggars must feel like last few years Albertz was one ,if not my ultimate favourite player for Rangers The most explosive player on his day .And he done the same thing in many big games for us .The quality and power he had was phenomenal Running with the balll ,his passing could be incredible ,his unbelievable shooting power .His passion for Rangers . When Albertz scored his amazing goals ,he always celebrated the way a player should celebrate a goal .Running to his own fans with nothing but absolute pleasure and joy on his face None of your pussy celebrations of nowadays Truly a mans man celebration imo Many of his thunderbolts brought the house down literally .No player could ever do this quite as often in this beautiful time to be a bear A giant for our club and should absolutely never be forgotten Blue Rino, gmcf, The No.9 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember how my heart sank when stories started circulating that he couldn't get on with Advocaat . I might be wrong , but I'm sure we sold Albertz , GVB , Reyna and Tugay in a 12 month spell and replaced them with Nerlinger. Took a couple of seasons to get over that and probably cost DA his job . eejay the dj 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboscot 1,176 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 This was the last game against that mob I attended before leaving for Oz. Ended up mangled in the local until shutting time, happy days ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperPapac05 3,383 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 That was Flo's debut. IIRC that was the only time we beat them that season. Great victory against such a strong celtic team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty1976 1,671 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Look at the strength of both clubs and see how far Scottish football has dropped. It’s not the only factor of course, but those who have wrecked our game in a blinkered attempt to bury us should be thoroughly ashamed of the damage they have done to their own clubs and football as a whole. I think the arrival of Gerrard could save the game up here and hopefully we get a few results like that in the process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the best ever! Found this wee interview, well worth a watch. Mad how he says the best Scottish player in the squad (for potential) was Charlie Miller, but his career went to waste.

CoopsLaud 4,186 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I remember this game well as I was working in london at the time and staying weekends in a hotel in richmond. The french receptionist who I was pumping reckoned the bar by the river side might put on football. Tried it out and they did put it on the telly as there was only 1 other cunt in the bar. He sidles over at some point and starts mumbling away in scottish accent. Turns out the prick is a rhabid scum fan in to watch the fitba. Dont remember all that much about the game but the sight of this slug shrinking further and further down the bar as each goal went in will stay with me for a while.

IanFerguson2013 397 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I was in hospitality in the club deck. After the game there was a party up and down the whole club deck. There are various separate rooms and everyone was mingling in the corridor behind them and parting load and hard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
