2002 - I remember quite a reaction to that result, utter disbelief.

 

[Sam English]

1972 - My first ever trip to Pittodrie and got my Rangers hard hat confiscated by Aberdeen plod.

Bastards

2017
if that game was in Scotland
it was getting called off

1910 - Hamilton Accies 2 Rangers 3 (Hunter 3) - Scottish League Division One (8,000)

Willie Hunter, the Marco Negri of the day.
Was at Rangers for 4 years, but only played for 6 months.
Played 17 League Games, scored 19 Goals.
This was his 4th Hat Trick of the season, having scored all 5 in a 5-1 win v Hamilton back in October, followed by back to back Hat Tricks in November against Motherwell and Queens Park.
Remarkably, despite his playing career at Ibrox lasting just six months,
Willie Hunter is one of a very few Rangers Players who can claim Hat Tricks in different decades!

1969 - Was that Holland's 1974 WC goalie, Jongbloed (sp) in goals for DWS?

 

[SDF]

1994 - Our second late equaliser to rescue a point at Dens Park that season.

 

[Alex Venters]

1969 - Was that Holland's 1974 WC goalie, Jongbloed (sp) in goals for DWS?

Yup.

It was indeed, Jan Jongbloed played in 2 World Cup Finals, 74' v West Germany, and 78' v Argentina.
We faced some Goalkeepers that year in Europe.
I know you remember Angel Iribar (Atletico Bilbao), who was Spain's National goalie (64-76), and in the first round we faced Ilija Pantelic (Vojvodina) who was Yugoslavia's National Goalkeeper.
Apparantly, we made an attempt to sign Pantelic just prior to that game.
Even Newcastle had Iam McFall (that Penman penalty), in goal, who won 6 Caps for Northern Ireland, but was very much back up to the great Pat Jennings.

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

Yup.

I was at the home game.

Do you know what I remember? His sideburns!

It's the same, I remember the Hibs goalie, Jim Herriot, in the early 70s, would put mud under his eyes in a night game. Apparently he thought it helped him see through the 'glaur'.

Great weekend but frozen from start to finish

Just for You

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

Just for You

You could have kept that to yourself you know.

 

[Numanloyal]

2017: flew with the team to Leipzig

 

[Berrytoon Bear]

2002 - freezing night and poor game. Didn't think I'd be going back there for league games just over a decade later.

Replay was the next Monday between a Saturday and a midweek league game as well. 3 games in 5 days, are you listening Timmy?

2002 - I remember quite a reaction to that result, utter disbelief.

It was up there with the coldest that I have ever been in my life either at or not at football

 

[Numanloyal]

1997 : this is when the cracks started to appear in our 10 in a row bid

This was the 9IAR season.

 

[dh1963]

The home game against DWS Amsterdam was the first midweek game my dad ever took me to.

When I tell folk that, I get the same reaction every time.

"Who the fùck are DWS Amsterdam"?

Am I correct in saying Rob Rensenbrink, who hit the post in the 89th minute of 1978 World Cup Final, also appeared in this tie?

 

[scottyfrancis1996]

If I remember rightly, the game in 2011, was the first game they did the shoutouts at half time as well as the scoreboards cos I remember it as I was the first one as I turned 15 the day before

He did indeed. I too was at game at Ibrox with my Dad. I recall their goalie played in what looked like a woolen polo neck jersey. Was at all the home games that year in Fairs cup, Dundalk, Vojvodina, Bilbao and Newcastle as well as DWS. Was in Broomloan Rd end when Andy Penman had his penalty saved by McFaul

You have brought back some great memories of 1968/69 Fairs Cup - Greig missing a penalty against Bilbao, Stein scoring two against Dundalk, Penman’s penalty save by McFaul, the defeat at St James’ Park.

A European trophy that should have been clinched.
