Well spotted Ali59! Big Davie Provan, and Dave Smith both look like they are hunched up against the cold!The straw on the pitch suggests it was the winter of 67/68.

Yes mate. It was covered during the summer of 1968.
Thats the game we sang the number 1 song, The Aintree iron but we sang "thank you very much much for John Fallon thank you very much"Celtic 2-2 Rangers - 2nd January 1968:

I think DJ scored his first goal that day before 3p.m. Remember it poured down that day. Got in climbing over a wall, massive big guy giving punty ups. Official crowd was about 85,000 but I reckon there was a lot more.Rangers 3-1 Hearts - Scottish Cup Final, 1st May 1976. Derek Johnstone makes sure of The Treble with the third goal:
I know my dad, uncle and late grandpa were all there when we beat them 4-2 later in 1968 and the Rangers end was covered then.
My dad said the Rangers fans nearly took the roof off the place that day.
That Davie White team could certainly more than hold their own with the much esteemed Lisbon Lions.

Big DJ did something similar the previous week in our 1-0 victory at Tannadice. He scored in about 20 seconds from kick off. Great celebrations outside the ground at the end with Alex MacDonald leaning out the dressing window while holding a bottle of champagne.I think the goal was scored at 2:58. For some reason the ref started the game 3 minutes early and there were hundreds still outside when that goal went in, maybe thousands. The crowd definitely looks more than 85,000, which in itself was a huge crowd of course.

Sorry the song was "thanks for 2 goals Fallon thank you very much"He made not one but two howlers that day iirc?!

Voodoo does work!

I remember it well mate. We were expecting to win it at the piggery on the Monday but the scum lost at home to Ayr United and so that goal at Tannadice meat we were Champions.
'The animals sang The Soldier Song,...and a Happy New Year from Ibrox Park as the Rangers beat the 19th Century Terrorists once more.
Monday night game finished 0-0.
We ripped the urine out of them that night.
John Greig took Doyle apart, in fact big John facing us put his hand to his chest making a sign with his hand that Doyle was a tit.
Oh how we lapped it up.
Thats my memory of the 2 goals alsoI think Willie Johnston put the first between his legs and Kai Johansen's shot squirmed under his body as he was slow to go down on it. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving bitter bastard
Thats my memory of the 2 goals also
Kai hit that like the one at the Hampden replay goal same position but didnt hit it as well as the winning cup goalHere's Willie Johnston scoring and then celebrating the first:
And a video of Kai Johansen's goal a couple of minutes or so from the end:

This is a cracking pic. The game that Bud Johnston put the ball through the bigot Fallon's legs for the equaliser.Rangers end packed in the background
Pretty sure that is the pre-season team photo for the start of season 1967-68. This was the last season that we had the white v necked strip and red and black socks. The traditional socks did not re- appear until Jock Wallace brought them back in 1975-76.

Maybe my favourite Rangers goal.
One season during the famous five days Hibs had an average crowd of 36k. I remember my Dad saying Scotland should not put any other players from clubs about Rangers and Hibs The Rangers players 1-6 and Hibs 7-11
Hibs v Rangers
