1982 Scottish Cup Final.
Me too, I was in tears after that one, Only time I've ever shed a tear over a football match
1982 Scottish Cup Final.
I booked the hotel after we beat Bremen at home. Was a free cancellation one lol but was glad I didFlew out that morning from Belfast. Bears everywhere flying to anywhere in the mainland just to get to Manchester
I was lucky I got my flights booked cheap after the quarter final, I took a gamble and booked them
Apart from the 2008 Uefa Cup Final which was devastating another time for me was losing the 1994 Scottish Cup Final to Dundee United which cost us the treble.
SameFirst champions league season when we drew at home last game
Challenge cup final v Raith.. was mainly anger if I'm being honest.
The final v them this year was a proper sickener after the way we played.
The Hibs final was gutting and we never really recovered from it the following season.
2008 as a whole was disappointing.. losing the UEFA final then losing the league. We deserved so much more that year but ran out of gas.
Losing at home to Motherwell and missing the chance to clinch NIAR at Ibrox will always sting.
It was a great opportunity missed by the players first & foremost - we didn’t seem to win many of that run at Ibrox and the 9th would have been special.
From a personal perspective - I was in the middle of final exams for uni and turned my weekend upside down to carve out the Monday free to go to the game and time to be out that night. As it was, we went out anyway and after a few drinks the talk moved to memories of NIAR and we had a great night regardless.
Manchester was a disappointment, albeit compensated to some degree by the fact that nobody had expected Rangers to get there all the way through and it was a real bonus to be able to enjoy being in a European Final.
Without wanting to derail the thread... I felt disappointed that the club didn’t stick with Le Guen for longer. Having made such an effort to bring the guy here - we seemed to chuck the idea without trying to correct the obvious errors that he had made in those first few months.
Notable call for the League Cup Final in December made above... I was watching it with my son and I can’t wait to be watching a game with him where Rangers win something - it will mean the world to me. Rangers last won the league when he was 6 months old and he is desperate to see Rangers hold up a trophy.
2nd May 1998, that was 10iar over, I'm still dissapointed
Off topic, but did we not beat Celtic 3-0 within the next game or two?Getting beat at Chesterfield in the Anglo- Scottish Cup 3-0.
Standing getting soaked on an open terracing and totally outplayed by a Club I had to look up on a map.
If you support a huge Club like Rangers you have to soak up the defeats in big games. It makes the victories all the sweeter. But Chesterfield??? The nadir of the John Greig years.
The Kilmarnock game for me as well. What a sickener that was.Kilmarnock at home, late season 1998, Tannadice last day 1998. Missed cup final as it was a abod parade.
The end of the era, Tannadice had an air of resignation, but the killie game summed up that seasons shambles.
