1878 - Clapham Rovers 1 Rangers 5 (M.McNeil 2,Hill,Struthers,Steel) - Friendly
This was the first time Rangers had travelled to London for a match and they recorded a fine win over Clapham Rovers, a side that would end their season with an appearance in the English FA Cup final (where they were beaten by Old Etonians).Despite the scoreline, which would reflect an easy win for Rangers, it was their first win of the season, having already lost to Govan, Vale of Leven and Queen's Park and drawn with Third Lanark. On their way back to Scotland, Rangers stopped off at Nottingham to renew acquaintance with the Forest club.

1884 - Third Lanark RV 0 Rangers 3 (Lawrie, Cook, Morton) - Scottish Cup 3rd Round (4,000)
The two previous encounters with Third Lanark in the second round had produced a number of protests from Third Lanark,and after Rangers had swept them aside in the third round, Third Lanark again complained to the SFA over the composition of the Rangers side.The offending player this time round was Tommy Cook, who was a Rangers player, but the registration cards appeared to have been altered, for the initial alongside Cook's name looked more like a J that had been altered to a T. Third Lanark complained but the committee found in Rangers' favour and they progressed into the fourth round to meet Arbroath.

1905 - Bob McPhail was born in Barrhead. McPhail was signed by Rangers from Airdrie in 1927 for a then substantial fee of £5,000 and went on to become one of the most prolific strikers ever to play for the club, scoring 261 goals in 408 appearances. He made his first appearance for Rangers on 13 August 1927 in a 3-2 win over Aberdeen at Pittodrie. He netted his first goals on 3 September 1927, a double in a 5-1 win over St Johnstone at Ibrox. Rangers won both the League title and the Scottish Cup in McPhail's first season with the club and McPhail scored a total of 23 goals in 42 appearances, including a goal in the 4-0 win over Celtic in the Scottish Cup Final.

Just as Rangers thought they would be able to see the victory out, when Broadfoot conceded a penalty with a barge on Herrera, their evening fell apart. Jack and Broadfoot clashed, with both shown a yellow card by referee Alan Muir, who then upgraded Jack's to a red following a discussion with the fourth official. Candeias then saw his penalty saved by the keeper, and moments later Burke turned in a low cross for the equaliser, in what turned out to be Pedro Caixinha's very last game in charge.
