We should sign van Persie.
Same here, didn’t even make it to half time.Watched the first half but have lost interest, that’s when you know you’re seriously scraping the barrel. Hurry up Rangers man, 3 days and counting....
That sliced pass from Scholes was unreal!
I seem to vaguely remember a Rangers/celtc select in a match at Hampden(I think).Giggs and Scholes amongst others playing in a city legends testimonial. Has the equivolent ever happened with the old firm for a testimonial? Seems unlikely.
Queen's Silver Jubilee game in 1977?I seem to vaguely remember a Rangers/celtc select in a match at Hampden(I think).
The team wore blue and green quarters on their shirt.
Is my mind playing tricks on me?Anyone have better details?
Not sure if it was a charity affair.

Sounds like the majority of the guy’s career.Paul Scholes a mile ahead of everyone else on the park
Did Ashley Cole play in it?.Saw him in Euston station yesterday lunchtime and wondered if he was heading for the Manchester train
Rangers and Celtic Legends carry the coffins of one another. It goes beyond testimonials.Giggs and Scholes amongst others playing in a city legends testimonial. Has the equivolent ever happened with the old firm for a testimonial? Seems unlikely.

Silver Jubilee Appeal match as part of the Queen's Jubilee in 1977. This game was played at Hampden on May 17th 1977 - a Tuesday - but with a 3pm kick-off.
The Glasgow FA team was: Rough (Partick), McGrain (Celtic), Whittaker (Partick), Jardine (Rangers), MacDonald (Celtic), Forsyth (Rangers), McLean (Rangers) - sub McNaughton (Queen's Park), Dalglish (Celtic), Craig (Celtic), MacDonald (Rangers), Johnstone (Rangers) - sub Somner (Partick)
Football League side was: Corrigan (Man City), Clements (Man City), Peach (Southampton), Stanley (Chelsea), Watson (Man City), Wilkins (Chelsea), Francis (Birmingham), Channon (Southampton), Royle (Man City), -sub Barnes (Man City), Owen (Man City), Tueart (Man City)
The reason for the preponderance of Man City players was that they had completed their league programme and many other English sides hadn't. Players from Liverpool and Man Utd couldn't be considered anyway as these clubs still had to play in the FA Cup Final and Liverpool also had the European Cup Final coming up.
By contrast the Scottish domestic season was over. In any case Man City were a strong side at the time and had finished runners-up to Liverpool by just one point.
Dennis Tueart put the FL ahead in the first half. Sandy Jardine equalised from the spot after the break and Kenny Dalglish scored to make the final result 2-1 for the home team. The attendance was 28,380.
We also played as a Rangers/Celtc Select V Scotland XI in a benefit match for the Ibrox Disaster, at Hamden in 1971. I remember being there, and the Select team wore all white strips. Match details below :I seem to vaguely remember a Rangers/celtc select in a match at Hampden(I think).

Rangers manager Willie Waddell said "This was a Rangers commitment, but we were not left on our own. Celtic rallied to our side immediately. Bobby Charlton personnified the willingness of his fellow footballers when he said "I'm thrilled to be asked. Just tell me when you want me and where." Celtic manager Jock Stein said "I would like to think there could be no greater silent memorial to the disaster victims than the joining together of the fans here at Hampden tonight to tumble the barriers which have besmirched Scottish football so often in the past." The Rangers/Celtic Select was captained by John Greig and included Bobby Charlton and George Best of Manchester United, Peter Bonetti of Chelsea, Jardine, Smith, Henderson, Johnston, McCloy and Conn of Rangers and Celtic were represented by Murdoch, McNeill, Johnstone, Brogan and Hood. The Scotland XI was taken from Jim Cruikshank (Hearts), Pat Stanton (Hibernian), Joe Harper and Bobby Clark (Aberdeen), John O'Hare and Archie Gemmill (Derby County), Bobby Moncur (Newcastle), Charlie Cooke (Chelsea), Tommy McLean (kilmarnock), Peter Lorimer (Leeds United), Tommy Gemmell and Davie Hay (Celtic), and Ron McKinnon, Colin Stein and Sandy Jardine (Rangers). |
