St. Mirren’s semi final at Ibrox was just as enjoyable,as the final.
Indeed. The scum were as gracious as ever in defeat

John Greig leads the team onto the Ibrox pitch with the Cup-Winners Cup, 25th May 1972:
I was in the Main Stand that night, never stopped raining.
Wow! My new screensaver. What a fantastic pic!
My next colouring project
Baxter's debut.Rangers 3-1 Partick Thistle - League Cup, 13th August 1960. Andy Little takes on a Thistle player in the opening match of the 1960/61 season:
Great reaction from Peter GrantRangers 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:
Johnny Little surely. Lol.Rangers 3-1 Partick Thistle - League Cup, 13th August 1960. Andy Little takes on a Thistle player in the opening match of the 1960/61 season:
A lap of honour with Davie Wilson and Eric Caldow as it should be. Running instead of the modern day stroll. Seeing the delight on Eric Caldow’s face outside Hampden is just great : it is as if it was his first trophy whereas he had been down that winning route before.St. Mirren’s semi final at Ibrox was just as enjoyable,as the final.
Was from Coleraine Co Londonderry,Got called Iam short for William,played for Linfield and N.Ireland,never got that many caps because he was up against one of the greatest keepers in the world Pat Jennings,Iam went on to manage the Magpies.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:
Johnny Little surely. Lol.
Pre match nerves....understandable.Of course it is! Doh
I have not been able to have looked at one of these photos on my laptop, but have looked at every
one of them on my phone.
Greatest thread ever on FF.
Davie Robertson in a match at Ibrox. Can anyone name the opponents? Looks like a European game to me:

Totally agree, and it’s great to be corrected by other old bears when the memory fails from time to time!Another great bonus for me I find is that this thread is good for memory and just seeing one pic can bring back so many memories of, friends, family, times and places. Its brilliant.

Rangers always did a series of these type of pics in the sixties and early 70's. I remember getting them from either the old red evening times or the green evening citizen. Some classic pics over the years.Ron McKinnon in a posed photo at Ibrox, c.1969:
I always liked this photo. Great reactions from Slim Jim and Eric Caldow. Nice touch too in having Eric, who was a former captain and had returned from his leg break, running out with the captain of the day and the League Cup.Rangers 2-1 Celtic - League Cup Final, 24th October 1964. Captain Jim Baxter and one-time skipper Eric Caldow take the cup onto the field at Hampden to show to The Bears. The scum end at this point was already virtually empty:
Rangers in 1902:
looks like a decent amount of bears in their end of the south stand alsoRangers 2-1 Celtic - League Cup Final, 24th October 1964. The match is over and captain Jim Baxter and the players celebrate. The "faithful through and through" myth of the scum support was never better exemplified than in this photo as their end of Hampden appears to be populated by the proverbial "three men and a dug"
Still amazed me Jock Drummond played with a cap on!
I wonder if the date on this photo is incorrect. I recognise Alec Smith seated at the right and the trainer looks like James Wilson. However there is no sign of Nicol Smith and I think the lad with the bunnet is the keeper and not Jock Drummond. The keeper does not look like Matt Dickie who played for the real Invincibles. A distinct lack of moustaches which were evident in photos of our teams around the early 1900’s too. Any thoughts (that are printable)?Rangers in 1902:

What happened to the forum, can't see any pics?
The Saturday Evening Times was Pink, not Red. Pink didn't have the same connatations then as it does now.Rangers always did a series of these type of pics in the sixties and early 70's.

McKinnon, Greig, Henderson, Johnston, Persson, Mathieson, Johansen, Dave and Alec Smith, SAF, Penman to name a few.
The Evening Times and The Evening Citzen both used to produce a pre match Saturday edition which included an A4 size colour souvenir picture. I’m not sure, but I imagine they did the same for Celtc, when they were playing at home.The Saturday Evening Times was Pink, not Red. Pink didn't have the same connatations then as it does now.
The pictures would have been issued by the Evening Citizen.

( IIRC, both the pre match E Times, and Citizen were printed on the normal white newsprint )
In our house it was the red and green evening sports papers. As for the Connotations of the colour I fail to see the relevance.The Saturday Evening Times was Pink, not Red. Pink didn't have the same connatations then as it does now.

I was at this game in the old jungle, which Rangers used to get about a quarter.Quinton Young versus Murray in the return match at the piggery, 25th August 1973. Rangers won 3-1, revenge for a 1-2 loss the week before:

Couldn't be sure but it could have been around that time. There are still younger bears who think this didn't happen.I think the last time we got a part of it was the 1976 Glasgow Cup Final?
