Nice jumpers and the handshake is not bad at all either.

I thought that was Ralph Brand in picture not Jinny Millar - sorry if I am wrong!

Here's a nice wee sequence of photos showing the aftermath of the 1962 Scottish Cup win against St Mirren.

Correct mate,its Brand.

RFC1952, you're absolutely right. I don't know why I said that was Jimmy Millar!

Thanks for posting the great photos JohnKP. Also good to see a proper lap of honour with the players at the run holding up the trophy. Much better imo than the modern version of a stroll round the park with assorted weans in tow.

Spot on, TMC. Those were the days!

Look at the crowd outside the St Enoch Hotel in the last photo. That's more than a lot of SPFL teams get at their games now.

The very first picture in this thread - who did the Gers play in that game?

 

[Shengus Malengus]

I was there as a 12 year old who'd travelled to Ibrox from Castlemilk on my own.

My parents obviously couldn't give a f uck about me as it was them that decked me out from head to toe in blue and sent me on my way. The auld man must've been gagging for his Nat King.

It was pissing down if memory serves.

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.

Cant find a game from then that Ian McMillan and Jim Forrest played in the same team

This picture must have been taken between 1962-1963 when Jim Forrest made his debut and 1964 when Ian McMillan left. Mr. Struth, are you sure it was not something as simple as a Celtic team turning up for another hammering?

Some additional information : if that was before a Celtic game, it is likely to have been the quarter final of 1963-1964. And as suspected, we won (2-0) with Jim Forrest scoring just before half time and Willie Henderson just after half time.

 

[Arminius]

Brilliant thread.

Look at the size of our crowds in some of these photos.

 

[Dalmore bear]

Like the top in the 1st picture blue with white "v" neck, all it needs is the crest & it's a cracker.

got it - Scottish cup 4th round 07/03/64 - 2- 0 to the Gers

 

[MrStruth]

They had just qualified midweek for the cup winners semi final and Rangers applauded them onto the field.
Rangers then stuffed them 2-0.
