On This Day (January 28th)

[Sam English]

1882 - Dumbarton 2 Rangers 1 (Pringle) - Scottish Cup Quarter-Final (5,000)
Immediately after the game Rangers protested to the Scottish Football Association that the match had ended five minutes too early and should be replayed.The SFA found in their favour and ordered a replay for February 4th.
1888 - Cambuslang 3 Rangers 1 (D.Gow) - Glasgow Cup Final (Played At Hampden Park) (11,000)
The very first Glasgow Cup Final attracted a crowd of 11,000 to Hampden Park,the majority of whom were rooting for Rangers.They were to be disappointed,however,as Cambuslang powered to a 3-1 victory in preperation for the Scottish Cup Final,due at Hampden Park a week later. It was a false dawn though,for Renton beat them 6-1 in what remains the biggest cup final defeat.
1893 - St.Bernard's 3 Rangers 2 (Barker,Untraced) - Scottish Cup 3rd Round (8,000)
1905 - Rangers 2 (Robertson,Chalmers) Ayr Parkhouse 1 - Scottish Cup 1st Round (7,000)
1911 - Rangers 2 (Hogg,Reid) Kilmarnock 1 - Scottish Cup 1st Round (40,000)
1922 - Clachnacuddin 0 Rangers 5 (Henderson 3,McDermid,A.L.Morton) - Scottish Cup 1st Round (4,000)
1928 - Rangers 3 (Archibald,Marshall,McPhail Pen) Bo'Ness United 1 - Scottish League Division One (12,000)
1933 - Rangers 4 (Smith 3,Fleming) Cowdenbeath 1 - Scottish League Division One (7,000)
1939 - Rangers 2 (Thornton,Smith) Falkirk 1 - Scottish League Division One (30,000)
1950 - Motherwell 2 Rangers 4 (Williamson,Paton,McCulloch,Findlay) - Scottish Cup 1st Round (32,000)
1956 - Airdrieonians 0 Rangers 4 (Baird 3,Hubbard) - Scottish League Division One (22,000)
Rangers might have won 5-0 had the normally reliable Johnny Hubbard not missed from the penalty spot,his first miss after 23 successes.
1959 - Dundee 1 Rangers 3 (Murray 2,Millar) - Scottish League Division One (16,000)
1961 - St.Mirren 1 Rangers 1 (Murray) - Scottish League Division One (34,000)
1967 - Berwick Rangers 1 Rangers 0 - Scottish Cup 1st Round (13,283)
One of the biggest giant-killing feats that century saw Berwick Rangers defeat Rangers 1-0 at Shieffield Park in fron of a crowd of 13,365,the first time Rangers had fallen at the first hurdle in 30 years and the first time that century to a team outwith the top division.Berwick's goal was scored by Sammy Reid,a name most Rangers fans would prefer to forget,but equally the hero was Berwick's goalkeeper,Jock Wallace,later to become manager at Ibrox.The match,or rather the result was to have serious consequences for Rangers; Chairman John Lawrence stated after the game that some of the players would never play for the club again (which turned out to be true of Jim Forrest and George McLean),and although Rangers went close in the League and Europe,they finished the season empty-handed

[Orangeandblue]

Was at the Berwick game in 1978. 11 years since the 1967
debacle but it seemed a long time ago. To put it into perspective
the UEFA cup final was 12 years ago The joys of getting
old.

No "probably" about it. It did, Regarding Forrest being dropped, Scot Symon compounded it when (for a reason only known to himself) he decided to drop Alex Willoughby (Forrest's cousin) in the weeks before the ECWC Final in 1967. It irks me to this day.
