Rangers 2 Aberdeen 0 1991

[bluewonder]

This day 33 years ago we won the league on the last day of the season when a draw or win for the sheep would have been enough for them to take the title.

The day that Walter installed the never say die mentally that served us so well during his time as manager.

Last five minutes commentary on Clyde and full second half. Will never forget it.

 

[Houst.]

That was a brilliant day and a great result ; But it was done with a different breed and standard of player - they certainly had a stronger mentality . Also had less respect and fear of the scum .

 

[Brian Laudrup]

My last game as a non season ticket holder

 

[bluewonder]

We had lost 3 nil at Motherwell the previous week but conceded the second and third goals late on which put the sheep top on goal difference. Had we only lost one nil,all we needed was a draw to take the title on the last day via goal difference.

My abiding memory of the day was John Brown who was only playing on pain killing injections because of a foot injury còllapsing in the box with pain near the end and having to be stretchered off the park. That summed up the mentality of the team that day.

 

[Boabmeister]

What a day

aberdeen got the entire broomloan front that day , numbers they hadn’t brought since Sir Alex.

I wonder why we gave them that many ?

It was never the full game
Always last 5 minute

 

[Johansen]

The best atmosphere I've ever been involved at
as a Rangers fans and I've been a fan since the early 1960s. A great performance from a team that was down to the bare bones.

 

[Noddy]

It was never the full game
Always last 5 minute

That's what he said.

 

[Florabear]

Michael watt was never the same after that game.
Decent keeper before the game ruined him

 

[millarman]

My 1 and only time standing at a game at Ibrox, in the enclosure as a 10year old. Remember being offered £150 for my £4 ticket before the game and my dad telling me if I sold it I would not be back.

 

[gordon_blue]

Went to Motherwell the week before expecting them to win it there.

My dad met Walter and Archie during the week and they were both quite relaxed.

Fantastic atmosphere and result.

 

[bluewonder]

I read David Robertson's autobiography and he said in the lead up to the game the mood in the sheep dressing room that week was one of nerves as they were red hot favourites to win and reckoned some of them shat it on the day of the game.

Probably due to league rules on percentage of tickets for away fans and because of the nature of this game. Not uncommon back in those days for Hibs and Hearts plus Killie to fill up the bottom deck of the broomloan.

 

[TheStLouisBlue]

Remember it well - turned down £125 for my £6.50 ticket in the Broomloan Rd stand because I'd predicted (the previous Tuesday) we'd win 2-0

There was no rule place at all even for an allocation

That changed after 1994 when we banned them

Clearly maybe Aberdeen requested the entire bottom tier and we agreed
