One of the most famous goals in Rangers history (and my avatar ). Kai Johansen's shot screams into the net and Rangers have won the cup again, 27th April 1966:
Reminds me of the same picture in Rangers The New Era by William Allison, the book my old dad had and I grew up reading over and over.
Also had this same picture above my bed for years, later joined by DJ's 1970 League Cup goal and Ronnie McKinnon lifting that trophy.
By 1973, my dad had been taking me to games quite often for 5 years and those were the only 2 trophies I had pictures of us winning.
By 1978 the wall was covered!

According to David Mason and Ian Stewart’s book “The Boss” Bill Struth had a leg amputated on 26 August 1950. The day to day business affairs were taken over by Baillie John Wilson and J. Rogers Simpson. The book does not make it entirely clear but it would appear team matters were taken by Jimmy Smith and Joe Craven.Programme article from first home league match Sept 16 vs Dundee, season 1950-51.
I have never heard before Struth missed at least part of season 1950-51 due to illness...
This message is three months later for the Ne'er Day clash at Ibrox against them.
Anyone know how much of the season he missed and who took over his duties?
Rangers failed to win a trophy in this season for the first time since 1937-38 (inc. war years).
