The quality of the opposition (or rather the lack of it) was reflected by a miserly crowd of only 5,000 at Ibrox, one of the lowest of the season. Those who did attend were treated to history in the making, for the 14-2 final result represented the first time Rangers had scored 14 goals in a first-class fixture, beating the previous best of 13 established against Possilpark (1877), Uddingston (1877) and Kelvinside (1889). With 86 minutes gone it seemed as though the record was safe, for although Rangers had hit double figures they had only registered ten goals, but a final flurry in as many minutes gave them the record. The game was a personal triumph for Jimmy Fleming, who hit nine of the goals to establish and individual record that has seldom been troubled since

This was only Rangers' second defeat of the season (Hibernian at home in September had been the first), although those present at Ibrox found it hard to believe Rangers had lost at all; they had pressed almost constantly throughout the game, only to be caught by three breakaway goals by Hearts. Rangers were to suffer only one further defeat this season, away to Hearts in April

2013 - my memory of that game at Peterhead is of a freezing cold Sunday where I was well wrapped up and being stood next to this very burly bald headed tattooed guy from Hull who watched the game bare chested. The game itself was lousy but at least I saw the rarity of a Sandaza goal.
 
2008 - was in the home and that day.

Late goal from Darcheville, an instinctive finish.

Adam had one disallowed earlier on.
