Another penalty from Kai would do for us in that LC Section.Rangers 1-0 Dundee United - League Cup, 19th August 1967. Kai Johansen scores the only goal of the game from the spot:

Remember it well.Another penalty from Kai would do for us in that LC Section.
One of favourite ever players. Great on the ball.Ian Ferguson
I seem to remember Kai hit the underside of the bar and tried to follow up and head the ball, that was ruled as a foul as no rattler player touched the ball including Simpson.I think it was Andy Penman who missed at the piggery mate? Penman hit the bar and the ball rebounded down onto the line. Johansen ran forward and booted the ball into the net in celebration, thinking it had crossed the line to put us 2-0 up with 14 minutes to go, but the ref said it hadn't crossed and gave a free kick to them. They ran up the park, won a corner and scored the equaliser from it. We then collapsed, conceded two more and lost the section. A horror show!
Edit - I'm talking crap, it was the other way about! Johansen missed and it was Penman who hit the ball into the net in celebration and was penalised. If he'd left it Johansen would have scored with the rebound. Age is creeping up on me lol!
That is exactly what happenedI seem to remember Kai hit the underside of the bar and tried to follow up and head the ball, that was ruled as a foul as no rattler player touched the ball including Simpson.
The ball was bouncing around the 6 yard line and Kai tried and managed to head the ball while Penman was trying to get to the ball before Kai and the ref gave a free kick to Celtic. That was from the Glasgow HeraldIt was Kai who followed up his own penalty off the bar.
Is that a first aider waving a white hankie at the gap in the crowd? The classic ‘assistance required’ signal back in the terracing days.The other boys in blue are in the crowd as Rangers beat Celtic at Ibrox in this 1949 clash:

That was the first game during that sectional games Gemmell scored with a penalty in the 38th minute Then Andy Penman missed a penalty in 60th minute Then Andy scored with a freekick in the 88th minute The crowd was 94,168 that was the biggest crowd i have been at IbroxPenman missed penalty at Ibrox then scored last minute equaliser
Also the biggest crowd I have been in amongst at Ibrox. Atmosphere was so incredibly tense and electric and went wild at the late equaliser.That was the first game during that sectional games Gemmell scored with a penalty in the 38th minute Then Andy Penman missed a penalty in 60th minute Then Andy scored with a freekick in the 88th minute The crowd was 94,168 that was the biggest crowd i have been at Ibrox
From a free-kick.Penman missed penalty at Ibrox then scored last minute equaliser
Celtic then went straight up the park and scored,Murdoch was the scorer I think.That is exactly what happened

Yes if Penman had scored from the rebound it would have counted. I remember Sorensen didn’t cover himself with glory as we capitulated.There's a book by John Greig that says if he'd left it Andy Penman was behind him and would have scored the rebound. He didn't, they ran up the park and scored from a corner and we then fell apart.

Great photo of THE Davie Provan. I occasionally saw Davie in his latter years still following the Rangers. I never spoke to him because I was too shy to do so but it gladdened my heart to see him following his team.
I don’t know where you find these photos @ItsInTheNet. Brilliant
"Penalty to Rangersh"
What a player he was. Skilful, quick, two footed, aggressive and an eye for goal.
Yes, Airdrie game.Was this the 1975 Championship celebration game?
I like to think that Big Nige is giving Timmy the what for in the background there!
I might have my Cup finals mixed up. Was this the one Bonnar came out his goal and absolutely cemented McCoist as he ran clear in on goal, but somehow the ref didn't give it as a foul?That's an often overlooked final but we played really well that day and I have fond memories of it. It helps we won mind!
Sure it was. Referee gave a corner to us. It was either a penalty or a goal kick for them but not for the first or last time a referee bottled it against them.I might have my Cup finals mixed up.

A much better version of Ryan Kent.What a player he was. Skilful, quick, two footed, aggressive and an eye for goal.
And he turned up in the big games.
I absolutely loved Mark Walters - he was such a talent.What a player he was. Skilful, quick, two footed, aggressive and an eye for goal.
And he turned up in the big games.
Go for it!How far back do we consider to be "classic"? I've recently found a heap of my old programs from the 90s and am sure i could get some cracking pictures from them to post if anyone's interested

Having a senior moment...
Bobby Watson the keeperHaving a senior moment...
Who is it standing in between DJ and Andy Penman, directly behind Jim Denny?
PS amazed Jock Wallace allowed Colin Jackson that moustache! He looks like a Mexican bandit!
Thank you!Bobby Watson the keeper
I was living in Canada at that time and in those pre-internet days the only link to the outside world was the BBC World Service, which was sketchy at best. I called my Dad at half-time and got him to put the phone by the radio and listened to the second half and extra time 'live on the phone'! Back then it was about $5 a minute so it was a 500 buck phone call, I would have been better off flying home for it still, it was well worth it at the end!
