Rangers 6-1 Hibernian,9th November 1968. Has any player had made such an impact as Colin Stein did when he signed? Eight goals in his first three games is Roy of The Rovers stuff, but he did it. After a hat-trick in 5 minutes against Arbroath in his first game he scored another 3 in his second against his old club Hibs at an Ibrox packed with 60,000 ecstatic fans. Here he scores and then celebrates one of those goals:

In his third game against Dundalk 4 days later he scored another two (and hit the post!).

Rangers 1-0 Celtic, 1st January 1965. Jim Forrest gets Gers off to a great start in '65 with the only goal of the match, cracking the ball in from a corner. To compound the scum's misery Murdoch skied a penalty miles over the bar 6 minutes from the end :

Rangers 1-0 Inter Milan, European Cup QF, 3rd March 1965. Gers came oh so close to knocking out the holders in this tie, ultimately losing 2-3 on agg, but had George McLean's shot not hit the bar we could have forced at least a play-off. A real "what if":

Jim Forrest is looking for another goal:

Eric Caldow clears this one off the line:

A great series of photos from a Celtic gubbing. I have always liked the Davie Wilson goal photo. The “brave” Celtic player to Frank Haffey’s right was Duncan McKay

 

[ao2]

Perhaps the most famous photo of the great Alan Morton, taken in a 1920s match at Ibrox. He served the club from 1920 to his death in 1971. "Legend" does not do the man justice:
