I'm sure it was on the right hand side going towards the Rangers end & yes Mulhearon had a couple of boots at him before retaliating & the punishment dished out to Colin made sure he missed the run in for the league ( we were in a decent position) & the Scottish cup final.Did he confirm how many times Eddie Mulhearn booted him before he retaliated.My recollection is Colin running with the ball towards the goal at the celtic end and Mulhearn kicked him from behind once,then a second and on the third time Colin retaliated.That was when the ref stopped play and sent him off.Mulhearnshould at least have been booked for the first tackle.
I had a good chat with Colin at the Braga game,he spoke in great detail of that game against Clyde at Ibrox.
And Her Majesty The QueenWe’ve got John Greig, Colin Stein
remember his second debut as it was the day my Granny died and was told on my return to PrestonpansMy first hero. Colin, not you
Fk Mulherron, scumbagI had a good chat with Colin at the Braga game,he spoke in great detail of that game against Clyde at Ibrox.
Don't remember any clamour to get rid of Colin Stein, or indeed Wee Bud for their disciplinary records the way there is for Alfie?

Never felt a thing mate.Ouch
Thanks SB, loved reading that.
My favourite rangers player ever, named my son after him.
It was in the second half and on the main stand side going towards the celtic end. My Gramps and me always stood at stairway 3 as it was quieter. Mulhearn tried to do Stein in the first half as well.I'm sure it was on the right hand side going towards the Rangers end & yes Mulhearon had a couple of boots at him before retaliating & the punishment dished out to Colin made sure he missed the run in for the league ( we were in a decent position) & the Scottish cup final.
Head man at the SFA/ SFL at that time Sir Robert Kelly of Celtic !!!!
50 years on not much changes
Very modest of him not to mention he scored four of the five goals against Cyprus.

He is still a bit of a legend down these parts to the oldiesMy first and only ever non Rangers kit as a kid was a Coventry kit when they bought him from us.
It gave Kelly and the SFA the chance to ban Stein from the 69 SCF subsequently boosting the mentally challengeds chances. We all know what happened next.First time I saw Colin getting his marching orders was when he played for Hibs against us at Ibrox in 1967. He got involved in a tussle for the ball with Fergie (Sir Alex) over near to where the Derry stood, fists were raised and the two of them got belted into each other. Next time I saw him go was In January 1969 at Rugby Park when he had a rammy with Billy Dickson and Tommy McLean. Dickson and Stein got sent off. From where I stood I thought McLean was the instigator and should have gone as well but he got away with it. The next time was that day at Ibrox against Clyde. The referee, Ian Foote, watched Eddie Mulherron kick Stein at least 3 times before he put his whistle to his mouth By the time he blew it for a free kick Colin had clobbered Mulherron. I've said for years that that incident was probably a history changing moment for our club.
Take it this is from 'Playing For Rangers'? I may have this somewhere in the house
The ref told him after the game,if he had stayed down after the first tackle he would have booked Mulhearn,you can imagine Colins response.Did he confirm how many times Eddie Mulhearn booted him before he retaliated.My recollection is Colin running with the ball towards the goal at the celtic end and Mulhearn kicked him from behind once,then a second and on the third time Colin retaliated.That was when the ref stopped play and sent him off.Mulhearnshould at least have been booked for the first tackle.
That is my recollection, & years later Mulherron was boasting about it to anyone who would listen in the bars in Durban, south AfricaIt was in the last couple of minutes of the second half.
The first assault on Colin came just inside the Rangers half and continued all the way to goal line at the Rangers end, where Colin let Mulherron pass him before toe ending him up the hole.
Colin after realising he had went to far finished on his hands and knees in front of the Rangers fans in the Copland Road end.
Had the pleasure of his company in Blackpool a few times , a very modest and unassuming gentleman
