1921 - Rangers 2 (Hansen Pen ,Cairns) Celtic 0 - Lord Provost's Rent Relief Fund Cup Final (Played At Hampden Park) (25,000)
Rangers' run to the final had taken them past Queen's park and Partick Thistle,with Carl Hansen having netted four of Rangers' five goals. He was on target again in the final against Celtic, converting a penalty to give Rangers the lead in front of a crowd of 25,000, with Tommy Cairns later adding a second to wrap up the game for the men from Ibrox. Rangers' success in 1921-22 were to come from the minor competitions, with the Glasgow Cup and the Charity Cup also being won, but in the two major competitions of League and Scottish Cup,Rangers finished second in both.

1978 - Rangers 3 (Jardine Pen,Jackson,Casey OG) Celtic 2 AET - League Cup Semi-Final (Played At Hampden Park) (49,432)
Celtic had appeared in every League Cup final since 1964,winning 6 and losing 8.Rangers were the current holders,so something was bound to give in the semi-final.Both Tommy Burns of celtic and Alex Miller of Rangers were sent off in a tense and close battle,and with extra time ticking away and a replay looking likely, celtic's Jim Casey turned the ball into his own net to put Rangers into the final.
1980 - Aberdeen 2 Rangers 0 - Scottish Premier Division (22,500)
1983 - Ross County 0 Rangers 6 (Williamson 3,McPherson,Clark,Russell) - Friendly (4,500)
1986 - Rangers 4 (Fleck 2,Cooper,Butcher) Falkirk 0 - Scottish Premier Division (24,177)

2008 - Dundee United 2 Rangers 2 (Boyd,Lafferty) - Scottish Premier League (11,362)
2017 - Hibernian 1 Rangers 2 (Windass, Morelos) - Scottish Premiership (20,057)
 
2008 - Tannadice was a right bogey ground at this time. Think we'd won once in previous 8/9 visits (4-1 win in 2006). Cracking finish early on by Boyd, lost two soft goals just after half time then Lafferty equalised late on.

2017 - Thought this was the turning point for us and Graeme Murty, we were going to win 7/8 on the bounce and put them under pressure. Then we lost the next two games.
 
1913 - Rangers 3 (Bowie 2,Paterson ) Falkirk 2 -Scottish League Division One (24,000)

Jimmy Bowie scores two in his usual position at No. 8, but not enough for Rangers who came second in the league.
