Do you have this program? If so, what was the Rangers line up? Reason for asking is my dad played in one of these games.

Thanks
 
@HIHI Rangers beat Third Lanark 3-0 in the Glasgow Cup Final in 1954. The crowd was listed as 35,000. In that pic it looks as though there were most likely far more than that at the game. Willie Woodburn was suspended sine die in September of that year.

I suspect the Gordon and Galt in the Army team were highly successful Rangers players.

Jimmy Gordon served in the army during WW1, and was a true Rangers great. He was one of an elite few Ibrox men to win the league title both before and after WW1, was captain for club and country, and was once described by Bill Struth as "the greatest Ranger who ever lived".

Jimmy Galt came from the same part of Ayrshire, and was a key player in the Rangers team who won 3 league titles before WW1. He then moved to Everton where he captained them to the league title before joining the forces.

Both men were lifelong friends, and went into business together after their playing careers.

DH, i think the army outside-left in that 1917 game was Fred Croot of Leeds City who also played for Rangers as a wartime guest player.

I was thinking more Scotland v Wales at Hampden in the Home Internationals. Possibly even NI or a foreign outfit.

Hampden is jam packed from what you can see of it.

According to Rangers in the black & white era you are correct, Scotland v Wales at Hampden. Woodburn played against Wales at Hampden 3 times, 1947 Scotland 1 Wales 2, 1949 Scotland 2 Wales 0 and 1951 Scotland 0 Wales 1.

There's another famous Scotland game from 'the period' against America (I think) and Scotland played in the Lord Roseberry colours.

I'm sure Willie Waddell's shirt from the game is framed in one of the club lounges.

The crowds back then were phenomenal.
