Rangers 3-2 Celtic - Scottish Cup Final, 4th May 2002. Peter Lovenkrands has just scored with virtually the last touch of the ball and the cup is Ibrox bound:

 

[ao2]

Rangers 3-2 Hibernian - Scottish Cup Final 2nd replay, 28th May 1979. Gers finally get their hands on the cup after one of the worst series of matches to decide the old trophy. To be fair this game was better than the first two, though that wouldn't have been difficult!:

Rangers 3-2 Moscow Dynamo - Cup-Winners Cup Final, 24th May 1972. The captains and match officials line up minutes before the start of the game:

 

[The Meik's Crombie]

Stunning skill from Davie Cooper. For those who were not fortunate enough to see Ian Durrant play for us, this goal shows how good a player he was. Always good to see Aitken being skinned (metaphorically speaking) too.

Davie Robertson in a match at Ibrox. Can anyone name the opponents? Looks like a European game to me:

PSV? although I can’t remember them being in the lead (as shown by the scoreboardat Ibrox

It's another happy away day for The Bears:

Looks like Stuart Daniels second from the front.

Looks like Stuart Daniels second from the front.

It is him, possibly at Tannadice!

Rangers 3-2 Hibernian - Scottish Cup Final 2nd replay, 28th May 1979. Gers finally get their hands on the cup after one of the worst series of matches to decide the old trophy. To be fair this game was better than the first two, though that wouldn't have been difficult!:

I had the dubious pleasure of attending all 3 games and can confirm the first two were bloody dreadful

 

[hawkfalcons]

Yes, we played in the blue and white stripes. There are only a couple of brief clips of that first Cup-Winners Cup final on YouTube I think:

the clip of fiorentina at Ibrox and have a guard of honour for them epitomises everything about the Rangers mind set a class apart

Davie Robertson in a match at Ibrox. Can anyone name the opponents? Looks like a European game to me:

The opponents in that match are Killie.

DJ having played as a striker on the Saturday and scored the title winning goal after 22 secs, played at CH that night and put in a MOTM performance. Of course the following Saturday he notched two in the SCF against Hearts.
Quite a week for DJ.

My memory is he played in midfield that night and bossed the game.
DJ was the greatest all round versatile footballer I have ever seen. Genuinely international class as a centre forward, a centre half and a midfielder.

DJ was the greatest all round versatile footballer I have ever seen. Genuinely international class as a centre forward, a centre half and a midfielder.

They used to say he was a good keeper as well and played there in training games and that he would be the stand-in keeper if McCloy or Kennedy were taken off injured (no sub keepers on the bench for league or cup matches then of course). You have to wonder at how many goals DJ would have scored in his career if he hadn't played so many games in defence or midfield.

Or if he took penalties. Did he ever take one?

I certainly don't remember any mate.

 

[auldyin]

I can't remember big DJ ever taking a penalty

Dundee v Rangers at Dens Park, 1968:

 

[Alex Venters]

It's another happy away day for The Bears:

Stuart Daniels?

 

[ao2]

Dundee 2-4 Rangers, 10th February 1968. Orjan Perrson has just scored at Dens Park and Alex Ferguson looks rather pleased!:

 

[ao2]

Stuart Daniels?

It is I think.

 

[Alex Venters]

Rangers 3-2 Celtic - Scottish Cup Final, 4th May 2002. Peter Lovenkrands has just scored with virtually the last touch of the ball and the cup is Ibrox bound:

The goal I'd most like to have scored.

Rangers 1-0 Aberdeen - Scottish Cup QF, 6th March 1971. The St John's Ambulancemen get a good view of the action as Rangers put the holders out at the quarter-final stage:

 

[ao2]

Rangers 1-0 Celtic - League Cup Final, 24th October 1970. Kiss and make up? Not bloody likely! A light moment between Alex MacDonald and Macari as Gers win the cup:

 

[ao2]

Rangers 2-1 Celtic - League Cup Final, 26th October 1986. Davie Cooper coolly slots home the winner from the penalty spot. The scum rapidly lost the plot and the match ended in utter chaos. As usual the bastards lost with shame:

 

[ao2]

Rangers v Celtic, 20th September 1969:

 

[ao2]

Rangers 1-1 Dundee - 28th April 1969. Willie Johnston scores a last-minute leveller at Ibrox:

Rangers 0-0 Newcastle United - Fairs Cup SF, 14th May 1969. Andy Penman sees his penalty saved by McFaul, a Belfast lad who was a Rangers supporter I believe:

 

[ao2]

Dundee United 0-1 Rangers - 21st April 1990. Trevor Steven and Gary Stevens show the colours at the end of the match, a game in which Trevor's goal clinched the 1989/90 League Championship:

 

[dh1963]

Rangers 1-0 Celtic - 31st August 1986. Ian Durrant scores the winner at Ibrox:

33 years ago today, I feel old!

The Davie Cooper reverse pass for that goal remains a favourite "out of your seat" moment.

Rangers 2-1 Partick Thistle - 1st January 1972. Jim Denny takes on a Thistle player in a match with a dramatic finish. 0-1 down from the first half, two goals in the last 5 minutes, including a 90th minute winner from Derek Johstone, got 1972 off to a winning start for Rangers. Even bigger drama would unfold as the season progressed:

Rangers 3-1 Partick Thistle - League Cup, 13th August 1960. Johnny Little takes on a Thistle player in the opening match of the 1960/61 season:

Eric Caldow's penalty miss in the first leg of the Cup-Winners Cup Final v Fiorentina at Ibrox, 17th May 1961. The keeper was almost at Caldow's feet when he hit the ball so it's hardly surprising he missed . Unbelievably the referee let play continue without a re-take:

Another shot from the Rangers v Fiorentina Cup-Winners Cup Final first leg, 17th May 1961. The beautiful castellated Ibrox press-box is a stand-out feature of this image:

Rangers 2-1 Motherwell - 10th February 1973. Both Rangers scorers are in this photo - Sandy Jardine (who hit the winner) and Quinton Young:

Here's a nice wee sequence of photos showing the aftermath of the 1962 Scottish Cup win against St Mirren.

St. Mirren’s semi final at Ibrox was just as enjoyable,as the final.

Wow! My new screensaver. What a fantastic pic!
