Close season 1984?
Did not know of his passingMe too @HIHI Big things were expected of Junior McGillvray, so very talented. He was expected to replace Bobby Shearer but Rangers then signed Kai Johansen and as you rightly say he never featured for Rangers first team.
What a team Third Lanark had then!
Sadly Junior passed away in September RIP
Baxter smoking!
Why are the white pinstripes missing?Thought so. By the way. That is one of THE Classic Rangers Shirts. Love it.
After winning the Scottish Cup in 1962?
I think so, with Harold Davis there.After winning the Scottish Cup in 1962?
I think that photo was in the RSA annual for 1962-63. Five Rangers greats.After winning the Scottish Cup in 1962?
A young Ralphie Brand
Pic from The Scottish Football Book which was a must on Christmas Day for years. I had every copy up until the wife chucked them a few years back.
Yes, as he didn't figure the following year. That was my thinking anyway.I think so, with Harold Davis there.
That’s what I thought.Close season 1984?
I'd say that was at the start of 84-85 season
Ralph Brand.Pic from The Scottish Football Book which was a must on Christmas Day for years. I had every copy up until the wife chucked them a few years back.
Bill Struth's last signing, I believe.Ralph Brand.
Billie Ritchie, Jimmy Millar were my hero’s then.
I would tell todays young family bears that Ralph was my ‘Messi’.
His positional sense, his passing inside the full back for Davie, his goals.
Perfect inside forward.
Aitken's vacant look as Coop takes him to the cleaners plays its part in that beautiful goal.
Probably the image that "having to pay to get back in the game" came fromAitken's vacant look as Coop takes him to the cleaners plays its part in that beautiful goal.
As Rangerista has enquired elsewhere in the thread, why were the pin-stripes not in these shirts, as they were in the home games of the time? Was this a one-off tournament or occasion?
Was it perhaps a one-off shirt supplied by Umbro for the conditions in Malta, one of those"breathable" fabrics, due to the heat?As Rangerista has enquired elsewhere in the thread, why were the pin-stripes not in these shirts, as they were in the home games of the time?

When did we introduce the v-neck strip? I thought it was pre 1958.On New Year’s Day 1958 Rangers first-footed Celtic and showed no “festive spirit” to their city neighbours with a 1-0 victory, courtesy of a first half goal by Alex Scott, on a bone hard pitch.
The Rangers players are Eric Caldow, Willie Telfer, Sammy Baird and Bobby Shearer with Billy Ritchie on the ground.

Great spot , from the hairstyle it’s definitely him.Against Spurs??

Is the goalie on the ground not more likely to be George Niven, rather than Billy Ritchie? Maybe can be confirmed. I'm sure the Celtic player is Neil Mochan...On New Year’s Day 1958 Rangers first-footed Celtic and showed no “festive spirit” to their city neighbours with a 1-0 victory, courtesy of a first half goal by Alex Scott, on a bone hard pitch.

Great player for us. He'd score in the 1-0 and 2-1 wins. He did make a difference.
You beat me to it. If memory serves the shirts were exactly that, a breathable material.Was it perhaps a one-off shirt supplied by Umbro for the conditions in Malta, one of those"breathable" fabrics, due to the heat?
Billy Ritchie was in goal for us that day.Is the goalie on the ground not more likely to be George Niven, rather than Billy Ritchie? Maybe can be confirmed. I'm sure the Celtic player is Neil Mochan...
