1914 - Third Lanark 0 Rangers 4 (Reid 3,Pursell) - Belgian War Relief Fund Shield 1st Round (5,000)
It was Britain's guarantee of Belgian neutrality that had been one of the contributing factors behind the British involvement in what became the First World War.As the German army swept through the Low Countries the hardship endured by the Belgian population became even greater and a mini competition was organised to raise funds for their benefit.A crowd of 5,000 were present to see Willie Reid score a hat-trick and Pursell grabbing the other.

1971 - Rangers 3 (Stein 2,Henderson) Sporting Lisbon 2 - European Cup-Winners Cup 2nd Round 1st Leg (50,000)
What was ultimately to prove one of the most crucial ties in the run to the final began well enough for Rangers,who powered into a three goal lead before the half hour was up,thanks to Colin Stein (two) and Willie Henderson.Then they took their foot off the pedal and allowed the Portuguese back into the game,conceding two late goals that seemed to give little room for error in the second leg.That was to prove just as dramatic.

1990 Kuznetsov knee injury, Souness had his hammer throwers rant and fell out with Aggie the tea lady.

2010 was that the game we were denied a blatant penalty for a foul on Naismith?

1917 - Rangers 1 (J.Bowie) Celtic 2 - Scottish League Division One (45,000)

Playing in the No. 8 jersey and scoring Rangers only goal, they would go on and win the League for the first time in 5 years in 1918

2009 - absolutely brutal

I took the family to the Argyle House hospitality suite that day and met my boyhood hero Willie Henderson and Alex McDonald, it was a great day.

This was the original Glasgow "Derby"

.....,

2010 was that the game we were denied a blatant penalty for a foul on Naismith?

That was against Seville the previous year.

This game was the one Foster missed an open goal with a few minutes left. We played really well and a win would have gave us 7 from 9 and a great chance to qualify.

 

[EKBB]

2007 should have been 4 nil. Got a goal wrongly ruled out for offside late on. Would have taken us top on goal difference too IIRC

 

[Ozbluenose]

2010- we should have won that game easy.
