74/75 season ?
love that picture, basically the Rangers I grew up with
Did McAlpine (goalie) not miss for Utd that night.If Dundee Utd lost they were relegated. We missed a penalty which kept them up.
Can’t remember any pre match announcement but I was very young! I find it incredible that I can remember details from Rangers games 40 years ago yet can’t remember the Champions League final from last year. It just shows the excitement of going to Ibrox as a young kid.
He did. Hit the post.Did McAlpine (goalie) not miss for Utd that night.
I remember him running back up the park after he missed.
Possibly September 73 game the year before.The next season the game was at New year'.
And we ended up selling him to Partick Thistle
Looked a real prospect but never kicked on.And we ended up selling him to Partick Thistle
That would be John Hansen, Alans brother.
That is definitely Ibrox.Is this the game we won 4-1 at Parkhead despite Jock Shaw carried off injured?
Me too, DClove that picture, basically the Rangers I grew up with
has a 'staunch as F' look about it!
Newish member wanting to know how to load a picture.
To old to be computer literate so go easy with me.
I met Willie Allison when i was a kid over from Belfast in 1967. I was staying with family friends at Aikenhead Road and used to go down in the mornings to Bridge Street underground and travel out to Ibrox to watch the players going over to train at the Albion. One morning the Ibrox doorman asked me where i was from and when i told him he returned a few minutes later with Willie Allison. Willie then took me inside the main door into the stadium. He showed me inside the away dressing-room and before i left he presented me with a club lapel badge and black and white postcard photo of The Rangers first team which i still have.Willie Allison wrote one of the Rangers books in the late 1950’s, “The New Era.” No photographs of him in the book!
With regards to Allison having undue influence in the “Corridors of Power” - Ferguson is talking bollocks (as he inevitably does speaking of his time at Ibrox).
Definitely Sept 73. We won with a last min Ally Scott strike.Possibly September 73 game the year before.The next season the game was at New year'.
My 1st ever Rangers hero
‘Mr Rangers’ IMO
Scorer of first goal I witnessed at Ibrox.
I would say yes. A hat trick in a 6-1 victory (but you already knew that!).Was that his Ibrox debut?
The conditions hint at it.
Wow two heroes in the same picture
Three - I can see Doddie behind Colin Stein.Wow two heroes in the same picture

Bobby Russell was a marvellous player for us. He followed a well worn path that a lot of our greats of the past took namely signing directly from the Juniors.
78 SCF. Russell ran the show that day if I recall correctly.
What a signing that was.78 SCF. Russell ran the show that day if I recall correctly.
A class act.

I love these slightly different photies.
Was that the game against Dynamo Kiev, where we moved the lines in?
