Ideas for Flag Day?

Ideas for Flag Day?

In season 1974-75 we stopped Timmy doing 10 In A Row.

In the final game of the season we played Airdrie at Ibrox but lost 0-1 in a dreadful game.

I was in the old Centenary Stand with my dad and his pals and their kids - roughly in the corner where the Govan now meets the Copland.

In my mind's eye I can still see John Greig going around the running track on what I still call "the chariot" - a horse and buggy.

The other major thing I recall is that there were majorettes and they paraded around the ground with the previous league winning pennants which they must have taken out of the Blue Room for the day.

I think it would be major symbolism if we paraded the championship trophy along with the old pennants, perhaps with youth players - publicly marking the continuity of the club to our earliest days. Perhaps with replicas rather than dismantling the Trophy Room!

It's been a long journey and I think we should use this to make a statement about who we are.

 

[Brother Moses]

What a picture that is!

 

[Davie2021]

The chariot would be an excellent idea again . Would love that

 

[BroomloanWATP]

Tav parading the trophy while led by a big white charger would be an enjoyable sight

 

[dh1963]

I like the idea of the oldest living ex player and the oldest current season ticket holder being part of the flag unfurling ceremony.

 

[Crouchy]

Something like this.

50,000 flags or scarves twirling as Tav walks round.

 

[mdingwall]

I think at one time on his charge around the ground he actually had the league trophy in his hand.

I remember thinking it was like Steptoe and son!

 

[mdingwall]

The band that day, was it the Prince of Wales Accordion Band or the Glasgow Rangers Accordion Band?

 

[TN8]

We should definitely get to see the trophy at some point. Maybe JG could repeat those scenes at half time maybe!

 

[Epsom Royal]

Was also at the game that day, I was 13.
I also recall big John on a chariot lol and the celebrations. Don’t remember anything about the game or opponents.
We certainly need a big celebration Flag day, just to rub it in some more.

Jodie Pollock on the park singing We love you Rangers..


Steven Gerrard came to Ibrox
Along with Gary Mac
And they were set the challenge
To bring the title back
The day that he arrived here
He ended with let's go
And now it's there for all to see
The league flag has come home

We love you Rangers...

We had McGregor, Tav and Goldson and Borna at the back
Alfie, Kent, Roofe, Itten, Defoe all in attack
Davis, Jack, Kamara, Arfield, Hagi came alive.
With Helander and Balogun they won us 55

We love you Rangers...

Not forgetting Joe Aribo
His name we couldny fit
Like Edmundson, Stewart, Barker
We know know he done his bit
McLaughlin, Jones and Bassey
Patterson, Zungu
Though Niko Katic didny play
He's Rangers through and through

We love Rangers...

Dave King and the 3 bears
Deserve some special praise
They fought and won the battles
To bring these glory days
Too many more mention
Who gave us everything
Now every bear around the world
Can celebrate and sing

We love you Rangers...
...

 

[Langland]

Flute band and parade pls.

In all seriousness, I think having Walter there would bring the house down.

This is...quite something.

 

[Al Needham Loyal]

If like to have Messrs Greig, and Smith on the park presenting the trophy to Gerrard and Tav.

Not a dry eye in the house.

Was at the game as well with my old man on the Twa Corbbies bus from Cumbernauld ( pre Ribenna)
The result was a terrible let down but remember well the carnival like atmosphere
Not sure what the 2021 equivalent would be, suppose the Harmony Row accordion band is a no no ?

 

[CooperBlu11]

Bring Shane Duffy out as a guest of honour for his services to help securing 55.

Agree with jodie singing we love you Rangers and if Walter was fit to do so, be wonderful to see him and John Greig on the pitch too.

Yer alright pal

 

[Timardim]

Could it be a white horse called Sorrel....?....

 

[The Railway Bear]

I like the idea of the oldest living ex player and the oldest current season ticket holder being part of the flag unfurling ceremony.

I’ve always advocated this, I wonder who our oldest current ST older is and how old they are.

 

[TibbsyBear]

Bring Shane Duffy out as a guest of honour for his services to help securing 55.

With a mock knighting ceremony. Sir Shane of Shettleston.

 

[Sritch]

Govan proddy boys to walk round the track would do me

 

[Langland]

I’ve always advocated this, I wonder who our oldest current ST older is and how old they are.

Probably about 72 knowing our support.

 

[Theblueloyal]

I was at that game too,standing in The Derry and all i can recall was cans flying by my head when the game finished. Crazy days

 

[DechmontLoyal]

54 replica league trophies on 54 plinths

plinth #55 empty, until our latest League title is unveiled and paraded, and the stadium erupts

when plinth 55 has the trophy placed - plinth #56 is brought out

 

[Meldy]

Like the previous poster I was in the Derry up the top just below the pie stall…. Remember the girls coming around the park with the league flags from the trophy room to magnificent welcome of “get your tits out for the boys”….

 

[Ambiorix]

A Viking funeral at half-time to mark the end of Neil Lennon and Terry Monro's careers.

 

[WBD]

Makes sense, come on let's be having it

 

[Pleanderry]

A Was on the same bus with ma old man a was 16 years old loved it. The game at Easter Rd was better when we won never forget that game.

Was at the game as well with my old man on the Twa Corbbies bus from Cumbernauld ( pre Ribenna)

I like the idea of the oldest living ex player and the oldest current season ticket holder being part of the flag unfurling ceremony.

any idea how old the oldest season ticket holder would be? My Granda has just turned 85. I’m curious how many people can call him “young man” at matches to cheer him up. Lol

 

[Chesterfield loyal]

I’ve always advocated this, I wonder who our oldest current ST older is and how old they are.

I will start, my FIL is 87

No idea, but wouldn't surprise me if we had a few even older

 

[blueismycolour]

A red arrow fly by would've been the dugs bollocks.

 

[11alberz]

A red arrow fly by would've been the dugs bollocks.

The Everton Pipe Band who played at Ted McMinn's testimonial v Derby.

 

[LOL 133]

Tav parading the trophy while led by a big white charger would be an enjoyable sight

Why not a black horse?

 

[mdingwall]

Online another guy confirmed the band was the Glasgow Rangers Accordion Band.

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

It would be great to see Carol Smillie come on tbe pitch and getting her kit off.

Must have been about 50 yards away from you that day in the Rangers end corner of the terracing.
I was 12 and remember it well. Result put a bit of damper on it to be honest but Greig in the "chariot" cheered me up.
Great memories!!
