Malkytfp1 18,594 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Was 25 and full of optimism. Little did I know what was about to unfold but that day we won the league was brilliant. Was before I had a season ticket and me and the auld boy watched it in the masonic. One of those moments war your da you don't realise is special at the time. Great post. Typing this after reading some of the stories with the song from the video playing in the background is a wee tad emotional and signifies the magnitude of the upcoming 55. This title has truly been 10 years in the making and once the dust is settled, we will look back on this one and realise it was one of the most important in our history.

Willis 20,919 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I was 21, pretty sure we had a sash bash in the Shieling bar in Largs which unfortunately isn't there anymore, was the only pub in largs that would let folk sing or play the tunes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumloyal 14,966 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I was 30 and I watched the game at sea with about 40-50 other bears packed into the Jr ratings aboard HMS Dragon.

Paulie Walnuts 1,061 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Was 22 then, had a season ticket, only bills I had were digs to the parents and nearly choked on a big gulp of champagne that day, which resulted in it spraying out my nose.

Genuinely think I’m just as buzzing for them as I am for myself about this title win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersInCanada 7,775 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 My first game was in 1963 at Ibrox when I was 9 v Dunfermline. Don't remember if we won the title that year or not but we have won many since. This one will be very special after the last decade. Just hope that my liver can take the celebrations. My wife doubts it. House is full of booze. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all our other players and fans, that aren't around now to witness us winning our 55 league championship . 10 years since we last won our last league at Rugby Park . All the pain is now over . We can hope our legends in the sky . Sandy , Coop and the rest will be looking down with a smile. I was 46 back in 2011 , thought it would be an idea for bears to post their age in any comments , the day we won our last league title before this beautiful season . Life is short bears, but at times like this , so worthwhile Cheers eejay. That's the stuff that gets me emotional. Have never cried at any defeat. Have wept tears of joy a few times. Seeing that makes me happy i have a million memories and Sandy Jardine and Davie Cooper feature in a good few. The one day that will live with me forever was 1999 at the piggery. I was 48 and my son who was 16 had got me a last minute ticket,and on the way back to the bus i started thinking about the people i had lost in lifes journey,and how lucky i was to witness days like that. Tend not to reminisce too much,and just enjoy the here and now. BUT!!!!what is coming is something special,and it is only Rangers supporters who could've stood strong in the face of what happened. Tend to think the more that they threw at us the stronger we became. Give yourselves a round of applause some time soon. Cheers again eejay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,428 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 17 i was, absolutely loved it. Can’t believe i had went most of my 20s watching us without a title. Hopefully we make up for it from now until I’m 40 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
billscott 2,463 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 i was 68 bought a ticket in the main stand beside the killie season ticket holders most of whom left after 10 mins the stand was full of gers fans seen it all over the years but that first 7 mins was unbelievable as cammy would say who would have thought at the time that 10 yrs later we would not have won another title it is going to be very sweet soon and very emotional for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElBufalo20 7,890 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I was 25 I had to get the train to Rugby Park myself for various reasons that day. The train on the way home was bouncing. On that train I met a girl who is now my wife! We have a wee boy who’ll be 8 next month. A great day I’ll never forget for more than one reason. When I set off that day I had a girlfriend and me and my wife think we put a 10 year curse on Rangers for my misdemeanours. Cant wait til we wrap this up and have the party of all time.
