GersInCanada 7,775 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 First leg in '63 was at home. I remember watching it on TV. Had to have been black and white in those days. Second leg was not on TV so I had to wait until the paper arrived to see we lost 6-0. Then off to school.

Can you confirm mate that they moved their home leg to a training pitch next to their stadium? Absolutely positive I read this in an old Rangers book from the 70s handed down to me scottyscott1963 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyscott1963 18,687 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 31 minutes ago, Drunk and disorderly. said: Wasn't the home leg first? Regardless, they are an excellent team and it will be a great workout for our squad. At least we know they won't sit back and hold on for a draw. Friendlies are usually boring but I think this game will have an edge to it. Posted an apology a couple of posts after that one mate. Puskas scored late in the 1st match at Ibrox,then they went to town on us away with Puskas scoring a hat trick in a 6-0 defeat. Tiger Shaw pointed out it might have been at their training ground. Remember reading a story about them playing teams from lower leagues to help them rack up big scores at the start of the season. Seemed to work against us Quite sure their reserves will give us a game Drunk and disorderly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Match thread will only get going after the team is announced in about 8 hours time. Meanwhile I see no harm in reminiscing about the only time we played Real Madrid.

They will have a lot of quality in their second string but I agree that if we play anything close to our 1st team then we will win the match.

EMRFC 4,851 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Hope we play it like a competitive game rather than a pre season game in terms of team selection and subs. Granted, this isn’t a star studded squad they’ve sent but will be good to see how our first 11 looks before next Sunday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Finny 5,652 Posted July 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2021 My wee nephew text me this morning saying he got a ticket for the game and was absolutely buzzing. I'm glad the young mob are starting to see what it is like with us competing against the big boys in Europe again. I know its only a friendly but imagine playing against real in a packed ibrox. The glory days are back on there way. markem, BillyG91, Bluekev and 9 others 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
