Thanks for Calton TwoTwoOne for this.

Wonder if anyone still has the six foot poster mentioned?!

Had the poster in my bedroom but was thrown out in the early 80s I guess

No add ons?

Still got the poster up in loft
By the way Mark it wasn't Ayr it was Airdrie

Interesting to see the different wording & additional verse on “Who’s that Team they call the Rangers” from the versions that I’ve known / remember.

But they’ll only find the reason why were known

& the

Here’s the health of the Glasgow Rangers chorus. (I’ve definitely never heard that sung

They did the league double over us that season and got to the SC final

Place was packed. One of only two times I was on the Broomloan terracing.

Colin Stein, 2 goals chopped off for offside. Don't worry, I'm over it. Almost

The company my auld man worked for printed these. I used to have hunners of them, sadly all long gone.

The Companion has the crowd as 63,000.
The Complete Record as 65,000.

John Greig rode about on a horse drawn thing that was a cross between a chariot and a milk float

 

[Skyy Bluenose]

Remember the Airdrie game away just before Christmas. They beat us 4-3. It was freezing and the snow was hammering down for most of the game.
Mind may be acting up, but for some reason I thought we played with an orange ball that day.

Well, Airdrie certainly didn't 'bottle' it on the day.

I was there. Pretty sure the ref, Brian McGinlay, sent off Sandy Jardine.

PS, just looked up the Companion and Sandy Jardine scored a goal in the 89th minute, so I doubt ST Vincent Street's most famous toliet attendant, sent Sandy off.

Airdrie game at Ibrox in April 1975 - my first game at Ibrox hence my username.
Great find thanks for posting
We lost 1-0 from memory we had a goal ruled out I celebrated so long and hard I didn’t realise the goal had been disallowed

My daughter met the goalscorer, Billy Wilson, last night. He must be about 75 years old now. He was telling her all about that game. She works with his son, also Billy, here in Toronto.

I seem to recall there were a lot of fights in the Rangers end that day. Even more than usual for the 70’s.

Can remember that - on days like that - there were a few people had a few Shandies - would fight with anyone for looking at them the wrong way.

 

[gomacgers]

My poster has long gone and I can’t remember very much about the actual match itself, but I remember that Airdrie were to play celtic the following Saturday in the Cup Final.

Calton two two one, has great memorabilia in his collection.

Yip, and sung so much better and louder.
Unfortunately now our fanbase are more obsessed with the Pope than 5he scum are.

Nobody wants to lose the last game of a league winning season but if I remember right I wasn’t too bothered,The bevy probably helped.

Thanks for the link. Airdrie beat us twice that season, the other being a 4-3 loss away, and Wilson scored the winner in both of them. Now is that the answer to a trivia question?

 

[Coop1872]

Anywhere, everywhere. That's what I always sang. How come most sing it the other way round now?

 

[George_Costanza]

This was my first ever Rangers game went with my dad and brother and was in the main stand

In fact just about every home game and few away games.
Great season!
