A guess that it looks like John Prentice who was a manager when I was young. Falkirk I think.
Rangers 0-0 Dundee United, 4th May 1976. The Rangers players parade all three domestic trophies around the Ibrox trackside 3 days after clinching The Treble in the Scottish Cup Final. This point was enough to keep Dundee United in the Premier League (so it wasn't all good news lol):
DJ again - this time a diving header at Fir Park...............
Wee missed a penalty and it kept them up.
Gregor Stevens playing for Motherwell?
Was the 2nd replay not played after the capitulation at the piggery that cost us the league?
My old man is still going regularly and was at all of last season's games against them, but he still mantains that the 4-2 defeat at the piggery against 10 men in 79 is his worst ever experience against them.
Hibernian 1-2 Rangers, Scottish Cup replay, 28th February 1973. Tommy McLean scored both Gers goals and here scores the winner from the spot in a match watched by an incredible midweek crowd of just over 49,000 at Easter Road:
Never got in that night,gates closed minutes before the start. Cash at the gate that night.
Was that not the game McAlpine missed a penaty for them.Wee missed a penalty and it kept them up.
I'm pretty sure it was their keeper Hamish McAlpine who missed a penalty that night mate, and there was a fair mad dash for him to get back in his goal from the restart. He made it, just!
Getting old loyal.
How the mind plays tricks.

DJ runs off to celebrate after scoring against Thistle at Firhill on Jan 2nd 1978 in a 2-1 win which leapfrogged Rangers above Thistle for top spot in the SPL. The bears in the old Firhill shed (including me) are going berserk. There was a crowd of 30,000 at Firhill that day which was the largest for many a year.
Rangers fans queuing to get into Tynecastle
Dunfermline won 3-1Was at the Scottish cup replay 68 with dad.
Nothing to do with this picture.
Over 44,000 for a Wednesday night,
We lost 1-0 after a 1-1 draw at Ibrox on the Saturday.
Hearts won the cup that year beating Dunfermline 3-1 in the final.
We lost the league that day, Sheep scum winning 3-2 at Ibrox.
Agree with this, Greig should have been sacked immediately after the game
That's ok,I am a dolt.
The great Willie Woodburn in a match at Hampden. Does anyone know the player behind him?:
Yes I think you, Templbluenose, and Warren Hill are all correct.
I know it was the days before squad numbers, but I can never remember Alex Miller wearing number 11 at all. Must have been one of John Greig's master plans to stifle the midfield
Davie Wilson in action at Ibrox, but.......................who are the opposition?????
Cheers.............I thought it might have been Killie but the guy chasing down Wilson looks more European.Killie
Cheers.............I thought it might have been Killie but the guy chasing down Wilson looks more European.
Correct.Think it's frank beatie
So, not European, just ugly..................Think it's frank beatie
I think the other player was John White
Wilson, Henderson & I believe Hamilton of Dundee soak it up after Scotland has defeated England at Wembley.
I hate going back to this game.
Was dragged out by faither saying its for the best son, not watching the vhermin winning the league.
Left at 3-2.
To be 2-1 up with 20 minutes left and to lose 4-2 was totally wrong.
Rangers greatest ever player should have moved on after that game.
The game was at Ibrox as stated by Alex venters, November 11th 1978, a 1-1 draw with Lynch scoring for them & Alex Forsyth netting a penalty for us. The Rangers Companion lists Alex Miller as number 11 that day, which is the only time he wore that number during the possible timeframe for the picture.

Sorry - you are right that game was at Hampden. I had thought it looked like the Rangers end at Hampden originally as it looks like there's a fence running up the terracing, which Hampden had and Ibrox didn't. It's the only OF game that Miller wore number 11 between the signing of Bobby Russell & the date on the programme of March 8th 1980.If it's the November 1978 game it must be Hampden.
Defo looks like Ibrox though.
Ayr United 1-2 Rangers, 27th November 1971. Somerset Park was never an easy place to get the points in those days and it took an amazing goal from Willie Henderson (seen here) to get the points in this match. Alex MacDonald is in the thick of it in the other photo:
