In the game at Hamilton Ontario, Rangers captain was "Whitey" McDonald, and the home team captain was his brother "Red" McDonald.

Brilliant @dh1963. I had heard of “Whitey” McDonald from away back but did not know he had a brother “Red”.

It's been a long time since I posted in this thread since tinypic blocked all my old uploads. But it's still the best thread on the forum and so I thought I'd do some reloads of old photos. Apologies if they've been posted by others since:

Rangers 1-0 Celtic, 2nd January 1969. John Greig scores from the spot past the bigot Fallon at Ibrox and it's a league double for Rangers over them in 1968/69:

After both victories we drew 3-3 with Killie in the next league games.

Celtic 1-1 Rangers, 1st November 1975. Tommy McLean nicked the ball off a scum free kick, passed to Derek Parlane and he scored at their end of the piggery a week after we'd beaten them in the League Cup Final. The natives were not amused!!!!:

Rangers 1-0 Celtic, 25th October 1975. And here's the winning goal from the aforementioned League Cup Final, and a classic it was from Alex MacDonald with a flying header at the Rangers End of Hampden:

Rangers 2-1 Celtic, 30th August 1975. Is there a better sight for a Bear than a crestfallen Tim keeper after a Rangers goal? Here it's Latchford looking forlorn as a Derek Johnstone piledriver nestles in the onion bag for Rangers equaliser on the opening day of the new Premier League in front of a still record crowd of 69,594:

 

[ao2]

And the Bears didn't have long to wait for the winner, and another cracker it was too from Quinton Young. Despite being down to 10 men Rangers held on to open the new league in the best possible fashion:

Aye, we always seemed to throw away the advantage every time we beat them. Weird it was the same score each time. 3 points dropped to Airdrie and 2 to St Johnstone didn't help either. We had a good side then but for some reason they had a habit of tossing away good chances of success.

I remember the Ibrox game. I'm sure they had a squinty-eyed winger called Gerry Queen? And as you say, the two points won against them, were spunked away in the next game.

They definitely had a wee winger called Tommy McLean

Never apologise for posting goals against them @ao2. It is good to see you back on this thread.

43,000 at Ibrox and yet Rangers are playing the best part of 200 miles away! Rangers put up screens for a closed-circuit TV beam-back to Ibrox as Rangers played Leeds United in the Fairs Cup QF, 9th April 1968:

Rangers 5-0 Morton, 26th October 1963, League Cup Final. You'd be forgiven for thinking this was one of Jim Forrest's FOUR goals in the final but it's actually his cousin Alex Willoughby (on the far right) slotting in number three as Rangers run riot after a scoreless first half:

Q : Is the Partick Thistle player Donnie MacKinnon, Ronnie's brother??

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

Staunch Scotland socks

Pretty early for that game. Usually it would have been played at the tail end of the season.

Had the date anything to do with it being a Euro Championship qualifier?

John Greig has pulled his socks up and over his shin pads. The white shin pads are showing through the stretched weave in the socks.

 

[dh1963]

Pretty early for that game. Usually it would have been played at the tail end of the season.

Just before my time.
Did the winners of the Home Internationals qualify for the Euros back then?

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

Just before my time.
Did the winners of the Home Internationals qualify for the Euros back then?

Not strictly.

It was decided that the Home Internationals of 66/67 and 67/68 would be the qualifying group for the 68 Euros. (Won, coincidentally enough by Italy)

PS. The SNP will no doubt now be launching an investigation into this disgraceful behaviour

Save that bench

Yes mate. Scotland needed to win to qualify and it was played early for qualification. Typical Scotland took 3 points from England but lost to Northern Ireland and drew with Wales!

John Hughes scored for Scotland I believe.
