Rangers get back to winning ways after drawing their previous two games at Ibrox.
George McLean scores his 14th goal of the season, in his 19th appearance.
Four days later Rangers travel to third placed Aberdeen at Pittodrie, and George McLean nets a brace, as Rangers come from behind to win 2-1.
This takes George McLean's goal tally over the last season and a half to 55 Goals in 54 Games.
Ten days later, McLean, and the great Jim Forrest (146 Goals in 166 games) are binned.
They were 23 and 22 years old respectively!
 
1989 - great result up there . Guy behind me in the Beach End faceplanted into the bench after Fergie's goal. He came up minus a few teeth but was well "anaesthetised" shall we say. Bet he felt it later.
 
1995 - Huistra was excellent that day. We wore the "Basile Boli" strip with the huge crest in the design.
 
1995 - Falkirk 2 Rangers 3 (Huistra 2,1Pen,McCall) - Scottish Premier Division (13,495) ?

Haustra's last game?

This changed our history.
It still takes some believing.

Derek Ferguson’s goal was an absolute cracker - great lobbed pass from Ian Ferguson and Derek took it perfectly, settled himself and slotted it away.

Edit:
Derek Ferguson certainly wasn’t famous for scoring goals but he took that one so well that you kind of wondered why!

99 years since we last lost on this day.

If you don't include the summer months, that must be some kind of record.
 
1989-Great goal from Derek Ferguson,ran through the sheep defence and slotted the ball home :)
