Pretty sure that is Hearts we are playing. Recognise Jimmy Millar, obviously, but also Cumming of Hearts.Rangers v Hearts, c.1960:
Jim Baxter kept asking Scot Symon to sign Cooke,however Symon thought having one Jack the Lad at the club was enough.
I would've loved to see Cooke,Baxter,Henderson and Bud in the same side.
It was Derek Spalding,s dad who married on DJ,s mum
Who'da needed tactics there?
Cooke would have been an ideal replacement for Ian McMillan.Jim Baxter kept asking Scot Symon to sign Cooke,however Symon thought having one Jack the Lad at the club was enough.

As opposed to George McLean?Cooke would have been an ideal replacement for Ian McMillan.
That was my first ever game against the filth
What a game that was , and what a bullet header to win itBomber scores the winner in the League cup final
George was bought to originaly replace McMillan but ended up playing up front.As opposed to George McLean?
I wouldn't disagree.
European Cup Play-off v OGC NICE 1956 at Parc Des Princes, ParisRangers in the 1950s, presumably before or after a European Cup match under floodlights going by those shirts:
As per usual.
Rangers 0-0 Hibernian, Scottish Cup Final, 12th May 1979. Colin Jackson and Gordon Smith in action in a game the likes of which would get football stopped if it were repeated too often. After another dire 0-0 draw Rangers eventually won the second replay 3-2, but the two drawn matches would play their part in costing us the league that season as the fixtures piled up:
I had the misfortune to be at all 3 games
The first 2 were awful and the last one marginally better only because we won

It just shades the 2008 last minute winner from Vineager of Hasslebank as my worst moment.Was the 2nd replay not played after the capitulation at the piggery that cost us the league?
My old man is still going regularly and was at all of last season's games against them, but he still mantains that the 4-2 defeat at the piggery against 10 men in 79 is his worst ever experience against them.
Rangers 5-3 Eintracht Frankfurt. Alex Ferguson scores in a friendly on 6th August 1967:
Great photo ao2, some attendance for a pre-season friendly.

That nightmare at Parkhead in 1979 was only partially removed from my worst memories by winning the league there in 1999.
Big Roddy the proddy at centre half for them
He was garbage , but we made him look like a world beater to , how many times did he score for them against us FFS
Ronnie McKinnon, John Hughes 1964
This is simply a wonderful thread for those of us of a certain vintage and should have a 'memories of the way we were' sound track. The photo of Big Ronnie wearing his shorts pulled up speedo style as he liked to do in those days. Ronnie had a bit of a reputation along with Baxter and McLean as a snappy dresser who liked the ladies.
possibly Dumbarton,, they had a strip like that in the 70"s
edit just seen above re dumbartonpossibly Dumbarton,, they had a strip like that in the 70"s
That could've been a memorable season Alex.
Leading 1-0, 11 v 11 and losing 4 goals to 10 men in the 2nd half is unforgiveable.
We'd have been looking at a treble, plus defeating 2 of the best teams in Europe too.
Am I right in saying that we'd to go in against Cologne with Parlane and Johnstone injured, seeing that Billy Urquhart was at CF?
That could've made a huge difference.
Nah that is Dumbarton.
