Simply put, Ally’s GC goals aren’t counted.
Hence every record book saying 355, rather than 362. I’m not trying to be a prick, but the factually don’t count.
@dh1963 made a good argument as to why they should be, but right now, they officially aren’t.
You seem determined to turn what should be a joyous Birthday celebration of the two Legends who have scored the most Goals in our entire history, into a petty and persistent argument of what is, and is not Official.
Who actually determines what makes a Rangers Goal official?
Is it You?, is it Me? is it the SFA? is it the Celtic Chairman?
Since you sucked me in on your stance, here is a wee unofficial fact, that wont show up in the record books, or in your Official Rangers Bible,
but is certainly worthy of our knowledge and respect nonetheless.
As an 18 year old, Jimmy Smith went on Rangers North American tour in 1930, having made only 3 appearances (1 goal), in the previous two seasons.
The great Jimmy Fleming was our Centre Forward, having banged in 119 Goals in 126 Games,
in the previous three seasons.
His partner, Bob McPhail, had weighed in with 68 Goals in them three seasons (1927-30).
So the teenager Smith, would have to bide his time, to get a spot up front in this Rangers team.
Rangers had 14 games on this tour, and Mr Struth gave the boy Smith a run out in 7 of them.
In those 7 Games, the young Jimmy Smith scored a mindblowing 18 Goals!
None of them official, ofcourse, but certainly worth a mention, and an indication of here was a kid, that over the next 16 seasons, would score close to 400 Goals, in less than 400 Games.
I'm not sure what the official count is on Jimmy Smith, but official or not,
Jimmy Smith is the most prolific Goalscorer in our rich 150 Year History.
