Brilliant! A very memorable game for me. Never forget the sheer euphoria when Stein scored in the final seconds after we had rarely been in the game throughout. Missed the supporters bus home too

Graeme Souness is presented as the new Rangers player-manager at Ibrox, April 1986:

Let's just say some things are rather vague of that evening and we ended up hitching a lift at 2am off a clapped out hippy campervan which was decorated in flowers

Rangers 3-1 Kilmarnock, 30th October 1971:

Back in the days when 2 teams could play in the same colours as long as strip designs obviously differed. Same as when Hibs played Celtic, no need for change strips.

My pleasure mate

 

[dh1963]

We got robbed that night, 2 men sent off for nothing!

Indeed.

Pretty sure my mate PalefaceRedskin was at that game. We were in 3rd year (I think) so he had to dog school for a few days. Tut, tut.

Must admit, I had never heard of Brian Heron. Apparently, he played 7 games for Rangers.

great bump

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Watching this guy play was an absolute joy.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

This lad wasn't too bad either.

The best Rangers player not to win a league championship medal?

 

[90minsofmadness]

Always love contributing to these type of threads.

Stanley Matthews playing for Rangers during the war ...

My Dad's hero ...

Eric Caldow, Jim Baxter, Jimmy Millar (No it isn't - it's Ralph Brand) and Davy Wilson ...

Just noticed how much Ross McRorie looks like Jim Baxter there.

Went to Motherwell I think as part of the deal to bring the gas meter to Ibrox I think mate.

 

[tuc]

Some great pictures there

 

[Alex Venters]

Went to Motherwell I think as part of the deal to bring the gas meter to Ibrox I think mate.

Yip,he and Bobby Watson went to Fir Park with Peter McLoy moving to Ibrox.
I think Motherwell got the best of the deal as Watson was a terrific player for both us and them.
Big Peter was never a favourite of mine.

Tbf Alex, he won some amount of honours with us, including 2 trebles, ECWC medal.

Well before my time, but I've seen full footage from the 73 cup final and 72 ECWC semi 1st leg in Munich (through a friend who worked in BBC) and big Peter was immense in both those games, particularly coming for every cross ball that came into the box.

Saw off some amount of keepers at Ibrox too, including Martin, Neef, Kennedy, Stewart, Walker, amongst others.

He may not have been a Chris Woods, but he couldn't have as bad as all that Alex surely?

 

[Kingstein]

I was at that game in gladbach
Totally robbed by a Belgian ref who stayed about 50 miles from gladbach

Brian started as a left winger and became a good left back imo

He had many great performances, cup replay at Easter Road in 1973 and away v Fortuna Dussledorf in 1979 spring immediately to mind,but was prone to horrendous errors as well, way too many for my liking.
