lol..just noticed that, typical researchers not researchingPicky, but shouldn't the pic above with Eric Caldow and the team with the Scottish Cup say it was 1962 and not 1966?
Also my first cup final ,although my first game against them was a league game in 1971That 1973 final is special to me.
My first cup final.
My first game v them.
My first trophy.
All in the presence of royalty
Not sure who he is or the two kids, it was taken inside Ibrox, The smaller trophy i think is from the Empire Exhibition which was in Glasgow 1938Who is the man with the trophy and the 2 boys in the top picture? What trophy is it?

You would think this day and age, they could revamp any coverageI really wish decent film footage existed of that 1928 final.
One of the iconic Rangers games.
1965:
Was John Greig captain by this time?
Usually the captain sat in the middle of the front row, but it's Jim Forrest sitting there. Or maybe Eric Caldow?
Yeah noticed that, just can't get the staff these days....One of the pics says Scottish cup 75 and it's the league cup in pic.
Andy Penman penalty v Newcastle was saved.
Home team changed in the sixties and seventies, no official away strips in those days.The away strip at Ibrox...this would be v Dundee. Wonder why this always happened against them?
Think they reached a semi final we applauded them on to the park,and duly shagged them 3-1i think?They were applauding the Celtic team (well except Baxter that is, who looked rather nonchalant about the whole thing ) after they had recorded a European win I believe.
What was the occasion where John Greig was getting a medal from John Lawrence?
Rangers 2-0 Cowdenbeath, League Cup SF, 14th October 1970. Colin Stein (wearing stripes for the night) scores the second and Gers are through:
