On this day, they went to Aberdeen for a North-Eastern League Cup semi-final, they were a man short.

Can't remember 2008. Thought Boyd only ever scored 1 goal for us at Tynecastle? Last minute winner from the spot?
 
1946 A genuine all time great Ranger.
1986 A masterclass by another all time great, Davie Cooper was simply unplayable.

I remember little about it but was there. Missed the bus back and spent the day drinking in Edinburgh.

I think this one was called an own goal by some of the papers at the time. I vaguely remember it as an o.g.
 
1919 - Albion Rovers 0 Rangers 4 (Cunningham 2,Cairns,Bowie) - Scottish League Division One (16,000)

Jimmy Bowie playing in the No. 8 jersey scores the last goal in a good away win.
Bowie would also play in the No. 4 and No. 6 positions, Tommy Muirhead would start to make the No. 8 jersey his own this season.
 
1980 - yet another howler from Peter McCloy resulted in my only scuffle with a fellow fan. It was no more than handba...sorry,a storm in a teacup.
