Congratulations to all our Rangers Blues Brothers and sisters on here.

Here is hoping for Chelsea and Rangers to meet in the group stage 👍

Great for Rangers to qualify today, hope we get to play them this season

 

Gio looks Happy!

 

 

Can't beat a quote by Mr. Struth. Especially after last night's result.

@Boyne PSV's strongest point is f**king things up for themselves, after getting their hopes up

Joey Veerman, PSV midfielder, speaking to RTL7: "Just before half-time we missed two big opportunities, that's where it went wrong for us. They hardly created any chances. In the end, I think it's unfair that they are through, but it doesn't matter what I think of them. We just didn’t do enough ourselves."

Such is football Joey.

If Chelsea and Rangers are drawn against each other, I'm tempted to turn up at the Bridge and go to my usual seat wearing a Rangers shirt. Could get a few funny looks. Fortunately I've been in the same seat for the last 25 seasons so most people know me.

If my Dutch club Helmond Sport climb out of the bottom of the second tier division and get themselves promoted and become champions and draw Chelsea in the CL, I just don't know which club to support in this very likely scenario 😀

In some ways I'd love for Chelsea to meet Rangers. Atmosphere would be great and it would be good to have some great banter with Rangers supporting family and friends and fellow Chelsea supporters. But then again it would be a dilemma for me. Who to support? It could come to me not going to the match. 

The last time I wore a Rangers shirt to the Bridge was for the first home game after my Dad passed away. Out of respect to him as he was a Rangers fan. Wore a Chelsea shirt to the Scottish Cup Final in 1989. Sadly Rangers lost 1-0 to Celtic. 

Decisions, decisions.

If Rangers beat Liverpool, the reaction here in the Shedend will be massive!

 

I'm beginning to detest Utd again...

Joey Veermans comments have just reached the Sgt Major!😀

Very true. I'll be drunk for a week! Commentators will going on about the great European nights at Anfield. If they think they're great, wait till they get to Ibrox.

So Rangers are away to a small team from the East End of Glasgow next Saturday. Was hoping to watch it but may have to miss it. Depends on the re-scheduling of Chelsea's match against West Ham. A blues double would be wonderful.

Broomloan Road and the Enclosure. Early 1979.
Great picture. Thought it was worth posting in this thread.

John Greig receives a Guard of Honour before his testimonial match v Scotland at a packed Ibrox. April 1978. Rangers won 5-1. Ibrox certainly had more than the official crowd of 65,000 that day.  You can’t see much of the terracing stairwells in this picture!

A pain that the Chelsea v West Ham game has been switched back to Saturday. Means I'll miss the Rangers match unless a pub near the Bridge is showing the game. A blues double this weekend would be wonderful.

 

C'mon the Gers!

Defence asleep. Very poor.

2 shots on target 2-0

Rangers asleep again. First one switched off on a throw in, this one switched off on a free kick.

Game over I think. 

Defence lost and leaden footed again. Rangers just can't cope with the movement from Celtic. Lots of work needed to compete on this showing.

Typo

Celtic were better in every aspect of the game today. Looked fitter, mentally sharper, did everything at pace. Big gulf I'm afraid.

Kent was disappointing. Talented guy but head down with the ball, holds it too long and isn't looking at the options. 

Building of the new Broomloan Road end in 79/80

Here's to Rangers getting a good result away to Cleaning Solutions FC. One of my cousins is going to the game.

WATP.
