Jacksgranda Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Programme from Rangers v Third Lanark, 1960/61, when Thirds finished third and scored 100 league goals (and conceded 80!). A 7, at home to Clyde 7-4, 3 x 6, home to Dundee United 6-1, 6-3 away to Raith Rovers, home to Hibs 6-1 in the last game of the season which took them to 100 goals, 3 x 5, 5-2 at home to Airdrie in the opening league game, 5-4 at Fir Park v Motherwell, 5-1 at home v Aberdeen, 4s and 3s all over the shop (including 4 at Easter Road when they lost 8-4). No games ended 0-0. There was another 5 in the cup (v Arbroath) followed by a 3-3 draw at Love Street in the next round and the resulting 8-0 defeat in the replay. They also had a league double over Celtic to celebrate, 2-0 at Cathkin and 3-2 at Parkhead. They also recorded a double over Clyde. 6 years later it was all over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knew that Scot Symon was only the manager of a company, not a successful football club? Who knew that players of the calibre of Niven, Shearer, Caldow, Brand, Wilson and Baxter turned out each week for the Rangers Football Club Ltd, a separate company from the club? Yet the evidence that club and company were one entity is clear and unambiguous, as supplied directly by Rangers themselves. It's almost as if a massive scam took place in 2012 to pretend that the entity that went into self-inflicted liquidation was only a meaningless company and not the incorporated football club we all knew it was. The fact that the programme also pertains to another defunct club, Third Lanark, who in 1967 also went into liquidation is ironic in itself. Who'd've thunk this embarrassing charade would still be being played out ten years later? Edited May 15, 2022 by Squonk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’ some more Fergie/Mexico 86 photos (as you seem to be into that sort of thing ) Apologies for the quality of some of the images, just took photos from the picture section in a couple of Fergie books I have, included Ferguson’s captions for anyone who hasn’t read them… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, the 1873 date seems to have been superseded recently by 1872. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I could probably google this, but there will be someone on here that knows. When did scottish football do away with having 2/3 replays for cup ties? My dad talks about them quite often and older guys at my work do as well, but when i started watching football in the late 80s, it was always extra time and penalties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it was early to mid 90s. Rovers' last second replay I can remember was 86/87 v Peterhead at Gayfield (about 6000 crowd). I can remember a Dundee United v Aberdeen semi going to three games in the very late 80s. The first final to finish a draw and not go to a replay was Aberdeen v Celtic in 1990. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one of the replays where Paul Hegarty getting sent off and Jim McLean having a meltdown that was wild even by his own standards. I seem to recall there was anger from both United and Aberdeen that the first semi was at Tynecastle, but sensibly moved to Dens for the replays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the three semi games in 1988 were at Dens, Hegarty was sent off in the first half of the second match, and as I recall, it was a definite red card. Wee Jim did go off his head at Willie Miller's involvement with the referee at the sending off,, but it appeared clear cut to me. Our two semi final games against the Dons in 1985 were at Tynecastle, however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Bartender Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Back to Pittodrie in 1938. Some changes to the city since for those who know it. The Links Road bowling greens only disappeared about 12 years ago. Beach Baths maybe 50-60ish years ago? Gas tank - gone in the early 70s. And expansion to the north & NW beyond Tillydrone over the years. from https://britainfromabove.org.uk/en - some great stuff to be found there. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolute nonsense. Souness was unveiled as manager of Rangers in April 1986. Why would Ferguson drop him for only the 3rd match of 3 in June, if that was the reason? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
