1974 a golden year?
Not in my house it wasn't.
It started with a defeat at the scum hut. Only the second time in 60 years the filth did the league double over us.
Well I suppose things took a turn for the better in the September mind.

The worst thing about that year (and I lived in Dundee at the time) was Rangers losing 0-3 against Dundee in the Scottish Cup, in what was one of the first-ever Sunday fixtures. The crowd was 65,000.

The ball came at Bremner really quick and it more or less rebounded off him and past the post.

We were awful all season 73/74. Losing 3-0 at home to Dundee in the cup encapsulated everything. It was during the 3-day working week caused by the first miner's strike when games could not be played under floodlight because of the power shortage. This was the first game we played on a Sunday. Ibrox was full - 65,000. Dundee were a very good team then. We only started to see the light when Jock Wallace shifted Greig to left-back, Derek Johnstone to midfield and introduced Iain MacDougall beside him at Fir Park. Ian St John was managing Motherwell then and they were going well and favourites to win that day. We trounced them and that laid the foundation for the League win in the following season.

I was there also mate.....we played in blue that day.
We wore red against them a few years later in a 6-3 cup win at Ibrox.

From whenever Bomber scored the header at the Rangers end at the piggery , things looked a hell of a lot better mate.
Ok now as pedantic is my middle name I did a check and you are quite right about the cup game that year but in the league we wore red as we beat them 4-0.

Aye and I think the 6-3 game was in 78.
I was standing in the Broomloan that day right behind the goal and saw five first half goals fly in.
Even a collectors item from big Tam as he took a nosebleed and got up the park to score with a front post header.
