The programmes in those days were great - straightforward but interesting articles, some facts & figures, bit about the visitors, some historical content and decent value (not sure what your 1987 60p is worth now but Indontbremember feeling fleeced for the programme back then).
My mental arithmetic was based on 10 Embassy being around 70p back then and with 20 fags for £13 now then it would be equivalent of about a fiverAbout £1.60 apparently

Remember it well working alongside Budgie McGhie at the time and he had to ask for the afternoon off .
I can never get the game we played at Kilbowie the previous April out of my head. The game was played in atrocious conditions and I stood there contemplating, while soaked to the bone, why I bothered going to the football. Rangers had only won one match from nine, and it didn't get much better than that for the last three games of the season. Only a win in the final game of the season against Motherwell brought that run to an end. It truly was grim in those days.
Thank god for Graeme Souness and the revolution he started the next season.
We were brutal in those days lol only good thing if the game was a shocker at Ibrox you could stretch out and have a kip having the whole row to yourselfI can never get the game we played at Kilbowie the previous April out of my head.

Your SCANS are improving Mark...
I remember the Fine Fare that was near the Eglinton Toll...getting old
was at that game which happened to land on my birthday so happy birthday hawkfalcons today lol
Interesting to note some of the crowds were still pretty low. You could still pay at the gate up to the Hamilton match the next week, there was a really big crowd that day with people visibly having to stand on the stairs in the Broomloan. After that game it was all ticket for home matches.

Good work fella.Fine Fare. Ha!
I worked for them at the time.
My boss was a mentally challenged and he hated me.
He had big lambchop sideburns and sticky outy eyes.
After we’d gubbed them on New Year's I remember him being extra c*nty when I was back in work.
In retaliation I left a slick of yoghurt at the entrance to the stockroom on which he slipped and fell on his big fat arse.

Great memories.
