mayhem erupted after the goal was disallowed,
2-0 up, 3-2 down, equalizer in the last seconds!
Huge Rangers support there that day

I missed the bus from Greenock that day and was listening on the radio. It wasn't even our game that was on (it was Morton v Aberdeen, with Morton putting the sheep out) and it was torture when they broke through with match updates from Muirton with us going behind after seemingly putting the game to bed. When they told us Johnston had had a goal disallowed that seemed to be it, then it came through that Redford had scored. Talk about relief!!!!!!!

Rangers 1-1 Celtic, Glasgow Charity Cup SF, 9th May 1960. (Click on the photo for a better resolution). Rangers celebrate winning the tie on the toss of the coin. McNeill refuses to believe the evidence before him and gazes skywards in vain, hoping for help from above. It's a conspiracy I tell you, they've always cheated ra Sellick :

It's Crerand's reaction I find hilarious. GIRFUY

Kept this one for the end, It's the old red ash pitch in Ibrox primary school and have absolutely no idea who is on the pitch and unsure if it's Rangers players.

It's a pretty old picture as there are trees lining the side of the pitch and wondering if maybe this picture is from around 1920/30, but all the same it's a great old picture with Ibrox in the background.

Best ever thread on FF. Spine tingling some of these.

Well done to @Cutty/Young in particular.

Highbury 67
Any FFers in the North Bank?

That one still talked about by some Arsenal fans. Bears took the North Bank over and the Arsenal made a vain attempt to have it back ?

I might be slipping into my dotage but I seem to mind King Kai dislocated his shoulder in this game. Or I am havering

 

[ao2]

I might be slipping into my dotage but I seem to mind King Kai dislocated his shoulder in this game. Or I am havering

I've checked and can't see Johansen having any time out of the side that season mate, save one or two games but I'd guess a dislocated shoulder would have kept him out for a few weeks?

I would imagine it's the thirties as the main stand was opened on the First of January 1929 if my grey cells remember correctly. Looks like our training kit from then
