5 years ago today we lined up against Clyde like this

[Laudrup1]

 

[snoopyboymason]

Look how far we have come

 

[longtimedead]

Now that’s a reality check

 

[Pentasa]

Only position we haven't upgraded from that team is Left back

 

[Tubby_Tarzan91]

Was that the game we won like 8-1 or something? Pretty sure Boyd scored that day.

 

[interbear]

Scary. Really scary. The team we’ve put out today would absolutely hammer that one.

 

[mdingwall]

Legends, every one.

 

[GR6Ger]

What? It wasn’t all a bad dream?

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Thanks

 

[dh1963]

That team won 8-1

 

[Plissken]

Dark times.

 

[ElBarrileteCosmico]

The horror.

 

[Coza]

The worst bit is there were plenty in here saying things like “that team is good enough for second in the spl” etc.

Dave King appointing Gerrard was his best move ever. A manager who demands we act on and off the pitch like rangers should.

 

[millar2318]

I think the man in the dugout is even more important

 

[chucknorris]

Had a strong dislike for Zaliukas

 

[DJ Blue]

Was that the game we won like 8-1 or something? Pretty sure Boyd scored that day.

• Boyd (16'minutes, 33'minutes, 79'minutes),
• Aird (24'minutes),
• McCulloch (38'minutes, 77'minutes),
• MacLeod (45'minutes, 65'minutes)

 

[Unicorn]

Yes, we’ve come a long way since we had a team full of Bosman signings and journeymen.

Astonishing!

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Still, with a good manager, should be good enough to finish third in the SPFL.

 

[mkgers]

The scary thing is that's not even anywhere near the worst lineup we had. Brutal

 

[top_cat]

The scary thing is that's not even anywhere near the worst lineup we had. Brutal

That's what I was just thinking!

 

[_WATP_]

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

Only position we haven't upgraded from that team is Left back

Rubbish

 

[Rt. Hon. Bearman]

The scary thing is that's not even anywhere near the worst lineup we had. Brutal

Agreed. That is one of our better line-ups of the banter years.

 

[Tubby_Tarzan91]

• Boyd (16'minutes, 33'minutes, 79'minutes),
• Aird (24'minutes),
• McCulloch (38'minutes, 77'minutes),
• MacLeod (45'minutes, 65'minutes)

I was there but I was also pished. You had to be during those years!

 

[The Trooper]

Holy hell thats like a really bad 80s b movie cast!!!!

 

[JK1975]

And I thought my hangover was bad

 

[rangeral]

Played on a Monday night

 

[coplandrearl36]

Once a Ranger always a Ranger.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Gives you nightmares looking at that

 

[Chester Loyal]

The team in the OP is actually decent compared to some of the others we were served up in the lower leagues

 

[Treble Kings]

Scary. Really scary. The team that East Fife have put out today would absolutely hammer that one.

More like this, mate...

 

[Gers]

Looking back at that team give me shivers right through ma spine.

 

[strathavenbear]

That was one of the better performances of that season

 

[55degreesnorth]

Sobering stuff, although we did win 8-1 that day. I know we all want to forget then so called 'banter years' but we had resources beyond just about anyone and better players than anyone bar the mhanks even when we were at that level. The blame lay higher up imo. Although would I swap aribo for law? Probably not

 

[Talktalk]

Not a bad team

 

[KGR98]

Sure that's was One of Barry Fergusons first games managing Clyde

 

[Blue Phoenix]

I’m sure we’ve had worse line ups. Cribari, Kyle, Black, The Greek, etc.

 

[Sutton_Blows_goats]

People are complaining about paying 40 quid for a europa league ticket

 

[Amstel]

Had a strong dislike for Zaliukas

He was never one of us

 

[AnglianBear]

We had way worse line ups and players than that OP. Plus that team slaughtered Clyde that night with one of their heaviest ever defeats in about 40 years.

 

[VGM]

Even the graphics back then were amateur hour.

Half of them wearing training tops the other half wearing kits

 

[Pentasa]

Rubbish

Would you rather have had Wallace or Halliday at LB today ?

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

Would you rather have had Wallace or Halliday at LB today ?

Wallace wasn't good enough first time round in the SPL. Today I'd have Halliday ahead of
Wallace as he hasn't kicked his own arse in years and only reason performed in the lower leagues, otherwise Flanno is easily better. I'd argue the same from Borna, but the Gaffer likes Andy. But none of the 3 are good enough for us.

 

[Robert Prytz]

Simonsen is where I stopped reading, how he played in the top league in England is beyond comprehension.

 

[JimmysGers]

The team in the OP is actually decent compared to some of the others we were served up in the lower leagues

Indeed.

Simonsen, Zaliukas and Boyd the only ones giving me nightmares.

 

[IndianaRanger]

I refuse to believe that ever happened. Feels like a bad dream

 

[RenfrewBear72]

Just put me off my dinner mate thanks

 

[ssblue]

6 internationalists in that team.

 

[Go_Bert_Go]

Nowhere near the worst. Don't want to open up a debate about someone who is still a hero of mine, but with a proper manager that squad would have sailed to the top flight with plenty to spare...

 

[Davie Weir]

They won 8-1 but it does show how far we’ve came
