From the game against Moscow Dynamo in 1945.

Rangers had to borrow kit from Queen's Park due to a clash of colours.

European Cup First Round.Second Leg at Ibrox. Sept 1987. Rangers 2-0 Kiev.  Rangers won 2-1 on aggregate.
The night Graeme Souness narrowed the Ibrox pitch touch lines, to prevent Kiev using their pace out wide.

And following a 1-0 defeat in the first leg in Ukraine, Souness tricked his rivals by NARROWING the pitch. During their customary training session on the eve of the match, Souness spotted the amount of balls being sprayed out wide and wanted to contain the threat of the legendary Oleg Blokhin.

Ally McCoist, who scored along with Mark Falco in the famous 2-0 win at Ibrox that sealed an aggregate win, said of the sneaky move: "The night before the game Graeme brought the pitch in five metres either side. Made the pitch really narrow so our full-backs could get a kick at Blokhin. They were absolutely raging… I can remember (the manager’s) interview after the game, he was absolutely livid. Genius from Souness."

Willie Henderson and Eusebio were great friends.

Today is the fourth anniversary of the passing of Tom Forsyth. A great player for Rangers and Scotland. So many great moments in his career. Two of those were scoring the winning goal for Rangers in the 1973 Scottish Cup Final and the tackle of Mick Channon at Hampden Park in 1976 when Scotland played England.

 

 

Rangers v Albion Rovers in August 1978. The Copland Road Stand is in the very early stages of being built.

Davie was probably on the phone to the bookie. He did like a flutter on the horses.

Rangers played some of their best football of the season in that first half. They were 2-0 up (going on 5-0).

Dundee United came back and won it 3-2.Former Ranger Ian Redford scoring the winner very late on.

Davie Cooper was outstanding in 1986-87.

Another two pictures of Alfie Conn scoring in the 1973 Scottish Cup Final against Celtic. Just noticed a Rangers fan in the stand already celebrating!

Just how packed is that Hampden terracing.

Alfie Conn in action against Celtic. Looks like 1973/74 as Rangers are wearing the black and red socks.

Bud celebrating after Rangers 3rd goal in the Cup Winners Cup Final in 1972.

No need to name this player.

Signed on 20 August 1983. A great striker.

75/76. A wonderful team.

Posted a while back but no harm in posting again. Some wonderful players. Sadly, two of them are no longer with us. From left to right: Davie Cooper, Kevin Drinkell, Ally McCoist, Scott Nisbet, Gary Stevens, Chris Woods and Ray Wilkins.

Looks like Davie is about to use his right foot. A rare moment!
