1983 - Rangers 1 (McCoist Pen) Motherwell 2 - Scottish Premier Division (15,000)
Rangers' fifth defeat of the season in only their ninth game was not a statistic that brought much joy to anyone connected with the club.A crowd of only 15,000 voiced their disapproval of the club's management.
1989 - Rangers 1 (Walters Pen) Aberdeen 2 - League Cup Final (Played at Hampden Park) (61,190)

2017 - Rangers 0 Motherwell 2 - League Cup Semi-final (Played at Hampden Park) (44,506)

A scandalous performance. Peña with one of the most uninterested performance I have ever seen. People around me were booing him off when was subbed.

Then Pedro bringing on that wee guy Nemane to launch long balls up to.

Totally outplayed by f*cking Motherwell in a semi final. Thank God, we've come a long way since then.

 

[Khal Drogo]

1994 - lilac strip day. Everyone loved that top, I hated it

1998 - A fantastic result and performance

2003 - last game I went to Ibrox with my Dad before he passed away

Awful day, Pedro ****ing Caixinha. Weve had far too many of them over recent years especially at hampden lets hope we get an overdue win there next sunday

 

[BruceyBalboa]

Genuinely didn't know we lost the game against Motherwell wearing the lilac strip. Always just knew it as "the game we wore the lilac kit"

Forgot that lad existed.

Still without a club since being released in the summer apparently.

 

[Craigie]

1998 - Barry Ferguson making four (5?) Leverkusen players buy tickets to get back in to the ground.

 

[krs]

2003 - was that when Phil Neville scores? Of all the talent on the pitch that night he was one of the least likely to score

 

[RutherglenLoyal]

2017: One too many for Pedro. In his short time with us we lost our home record against Aberdeen, embarrassing defeat to them at Ibrox, the Progres game and then this. A bizarre appointment that set us back on our road to recovery.

yes he was the scorer that night

 

[Avalon]

Surprisingly once again it's my Birthday

 

[uddingstonbluenose]

8th birthday, my first away game. That lilac kit at Fir Park, awful result...

 

[yosser hughes]

1998 ,watched the game in annie millars, place was that rammed the condensation was dripping from the ceiling,a wonderful performance by the bears against a very good team

 

[Alex Venters]

1977 - I'm sure we hit the top of the table that day and weren't headed thereafter despite Aberdeen running us close.
On a personal note this was the last match my granda ever attended

 

[dh1963]

1983 a horrible day. Ex Celtic Fatty Andy Ritchie scored for Motherwell, we were much nearer the bottom of the table than the top, and the crowd totally turned against John Greig as manager, even though everybody loved the man.
This was to be his last league game as manager, he resigned later in the week.

I was outside the Main Stand after the game and my picture was on the back page of the Sunday Mail. The old man was not best plessed, to say the least, "that man's a legend" he roared, as I surfaced on the Sunday morning.

 

[bluetonic]

1989 Skol Cup, two goals by Aberdeen legend Paul Mason , but we never turned up that final.
1998 great win over Leverkusen

 

[bluetonic]

It was, had a great afternoon in the Horsehoe Bar with MU fans and Alec Stepney( old keeper from the 6o’s) ,same night the Man Utd casuals trashed the Old Toll Bar with us inside

 

[Haining84]

1994 the purple top.

1998 the Ferguson pirouette.

2000 full blown crisis for Advocaat.

2003 Should’ve got a point.

2017 Pedro’s second last game.

A wee bit harsh imo. We missed more than enough chances to put that game out of sight before they got the first goal. Windas in particular squandered some great chances. Add that to a referee who was prepared to allow Motherwell to get away with brutal challenges across the entire game (I'll never forget what happened to Cardoso in particular). I was as disappointed as the rest of us that day but I don't have the same recollection of it as you.

 

[Arminius]

Our results against Motherwell in the third week of October haven’t been great over the years

 

[lutonloyal]

I was at two games on this date - alas both defeats

Both Hampden Park League Cup losses, to the Sheep 2-1 in 1989 and Murderwell 2-0 in 2017.

 

[dh1963]

1975 Peter McCloy got injured in the warm up.

 

[.k.k.]

2005 - Burke scored in the first 30 seconds or so.

[Bobby Russell's Perm]

Bayern Leverkusen1-2 Rangers. My first away European trio!!!

 

[Bobby Russell's Perm]

Trip!!!!

 

[crmpicco]

2003 Should’ve got a point.

Not how I remember it, I must admit. I don't remember us posing much threat to Man United in this game. Diego Forlan was playing and never kicked his arse.

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

1975 Peter McCloy got injured in the warm up.

1975 - I thought it was Kennedy who got injured and McCloy took over.

That old mind of mine.

1921 - George Henderson, another I'd like to look at when I get my hands on a time machine.

 

[Damask_Rose]

Wasn't the away win against Leverkusen in 1998 the first time a British team had won in the Bay Arena?

 

[themightyi]

2017 was bloody depressing.

 

[Another Dodgy Decision]

Must be the first time I’ve seen one of these threads where we’ve lost more than we’ve won. Surely one of our worst dates to play on.
