1989 trophy day at Ibrox. The game didn't quite go to plan. And it got worse the following week at Hampden.
2007 First domestic defeat of Walter's second spell? Pretty sure Naismith scored for them.
2009 Was that the night we scored another goal but it got ruled not over the line? Thought we had blown the title, then the filth drew there a few days later.
 
2007 - everyone in stadium came out of the ground wanting to sign Naismith.

2018 - Strange, strange game. Amazing to think how far we have come.
 
2018 - Hibernian 5 Rangers 5 (Tavernier, Rossiter, Alves, Holt, Windass) - Scottish Premiership (19,579)

still dont know what to think of it
 
2009 I thought we may have blew it after winning the old firm game.

Celtic also went on to draw at Hibs and set us up for the first title since Walters return.
 
2009 - Thought we had fucked it that night.

2018 - was there that day and it was a very surreal game.
 
1985- was on this night that we found out about the hastily arranged friendly against Chelsea for the Bradford City fire disaster
 
1877 - Robert Cumming Hamilton, commonly referred to by his first two initials RC, one of the most prolific forwards at Rangers in their early years, was born. Hamilton was the first man to net 100 League goals for the club and by the time he left the Light Blues in 1908 he was the record scorer. Hamilton won many trophies during his spell at Rangers, including captaining the Rangers side which famously won every League match in the 1898-99 season.
Although a few have surpassed his tally of 182 goals in 209 competitive appearances and 310 in all matches since then, one mark he set still remains to this day. With 35 goals, nobody has scored as many times for the club in derbies against Celtic as the Elgin-born forward.​

1930 - Inside-left Sammy Baird, who made 179 appearances for Rangers, scoring 52 goals, was born in Denny. In total, Sammy Baird won three Scottish League titles and one Scottish Cup during his time at Rangers. A high point in Baird's Rangers career was bagging a brace in the 3-2 win against Dutch Champions Sparta Rotterdam in the 1960 European Champions' Cup Quarter-Final play-off at Highbury. On the final whistle, Baird was carried shoulder high back to the dressing room by the Rangers supporters ! Baird also holds the record of being the first Rangers player to score in a World Cup Finals, when he struck against France in the 1958 tournament in Sweden.

Just over 75,000 fans inside Hampden watched Matt Busby's English champions Manchester United defeat Rangers in the eight team, cross-border competition The Coronation Cup. The Rangers side was weakened for the match, without wingers McColl and Cox and also top scorer Grierson. In Grierson's place came Peter McMillan making his debut from the reserves and it was McMillan who opened the scoring with a header in the seventh minute from a Hubbard cross. In this end, United were the dominant team on the day, winning 2:1 after goals from Pearson and Rowley

Hibernian 5-5 Rangers. Who played in that game who also played on March 6th 2021. Rangers 3-0 St. Mirren which effectively got us the title?
