That you with the great old fashioned cloth scarf?

 

[jtc]

Or that it became difficult to gain entry to pubs wearing colours.

More a fashion thing I'd say.70s was scarves ,hats,denim jackets with club patches on.80s the time of the casual

 

[Wishbone]

Dave Lee Travis having a not so sneaky fag.

 

[rangers for life]

Not a woman in sight.

I can see one woman ,scan and find the guy with Liverpool badge (I think) on his scarf and a row or two above that a guy with his bird ,he is wearing blue/black top.

 

[tumsheeheed]

Great photo we wear definitely getting beat at the piggery ‘78 maybe ‘79

This cracking image has just come up in my Facebook feed.
More old Glasgow of the 70's and 80's in the link

I love seeing pictures and videos of our fans.

No as many baldies in these days?

 

[TommyC]

Some absolute barnets in that

 

[weeblueboab]

I’m in that photo. Pretty sure it is the piggery but hard to tell from that image

Like others have said, following Rangers in the 70’s was absolutely brilliant. Great memories. Not one phuck given about anything or anybody

Can't remember if it was the 60s or 70s, but if I recall right, when we went to visit Edinburgh every shop we passed was shut and boarded up with plywood.

 

[club175]

Always love seeing old pictures like that. Interesting to think about how many of those fans still go to games and Offcourse how many have sadly passed since

 

[lowerhuttloyal]

I can remember a feature in our match programs.
A picture was in one of the pages and you won a prize if your face was circled.
Iam sure a bear will remember what it was called.
Again pictures like that are brilliant I look for myself in them.

I won that one week standing in the East Enclosure, my prize.

Two tickets for a game against Ayr United.

 

[dougal101]

That you with the great old fashioned cloth scarf?

Yes that's me

 

[GEODGC]

Seemed to be a lot more varieties back then as well. One lad's even wearing a Scotland one in the bottom right corner.

I think the one you are looking at is a League Champions 74-75 scarf. The badge in the centre looks like a lion rampant but I’m not sure if this has been recoloured and it maybe just looks that way.

Looks like the Rangers end at the piggery.

There's a group of 3 none of whom attend any longer. My old dad who is no longer fit to attend, his mate who sadly passed away some time ago and his mates son who lives down South now.

Strangely, however, myself and my two mates (brothers) who would have been there but not in the picture still go. I say strangely because I hadn't seen them for years and then moved seats a few years back only to discover the two of them, their younger brother and all their grown up kids sitting in the row in front of me and my two boys.

So three down, three still going and an extra six coming along with us.

 

[Feegie blue]

Wee guy with drew jarvie comb over ... 2 behind him and 3 left is that young Gregory Fisher.

 

[cadge_1959]

Not a woman in sight.

There is, look for a guy with a rugby like top on, pale blue and dark blue hoops, to his left is his girlfriend. The guy was the driver of the Bishopbriggs RSC in the late 70s, John with his girlfriend Kathy.

They are half way down, right of centre.

I know two guys in the OP photo, one still goes every week, the other I haven't seen for years.

That looks like a Cardiff rugby shirt.

 

[Artful Dodger]

The wee guy in the far bottom right looks as if he's wearing the then new red away Umbro shirt of 78-81. A belter of a shirt.

My first top.Loved it.My poor old mum had a terrible time I wanted it on every day.She was washing and drying it nightly eventually bought the blue one as well so she could alternate. Think me moaning about it helped as well.

 

[Tiny_Kilby_Loyal]

Probably my favourite ever away strip.
We wore the home strip from 1978-1982. Incredible to think of these days, 4 years with the same top.

My first ever strip

No as many baldies in these days?

The comb over and longer hair negated the need for baldies shaving.Jeez,wish I had to he bottle to grow a comb over now.

 

[derek145]

Used to travel on the Partick Loyal in the 80's, the 55 seater bus would be full every single game, then you had the Rosedale and Memories buses rammed to. Don't think any of them run buses at all now, Memories bar is no longer, not sure if the Partick Loyal still survives either. The grounds were always full, we'd take over 10,000 to Cappilow on a wintery midweek, but the home clubs don't want our money now apparently.

 

[BrownBear]

A few of the lads from my supporters bus are there,also one of the lads who started up Netherton Road flute band.

Which one ?

 

[petric]

Steven Gerrard Loyal

Spotted that.

I'm sure I can see a Valencia hat, too - halfway down, on the right.

 

[bullen an la]

thats not a scotland scarf
it's a league champions 74-75 scarf
i had one

big john, he was still doing the briggs bus in the 90's when they were still using parks
him and kathy still go to the games . i think they have two grown up kids who go also.

 

[Bri RTID]

good old king billy scarf

real rangers emblems

 

[RTB]

I was probably in that crowd but not in the picture. Looking at the faces might help the young team understand why nobody messed with us in these days

 

[cadge_1959]

I remember Big John & Kathy from the late 70s/early 80s. Grown up kids, that makes me feel old...

 

[Noddy]

Great, innit?

*JOKE*

It was "Heads You Win". My father and I were in it once standing in the enclosure but we weren't circled. No prize!

 

[Bearwood Bear]

Nice to see Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, in with the Bears.

(Centre, extreme right of pic.)

Guy half way up,half way to the left,big tasche,red jumper.Is that not the legend from the Hampden Riot,chasing the mentally challengeds in his tank top?

 

[JerseyLoyalist]

Which one ?

Wishaw East Cross.

 

[Sandbear]

I would more than likely be in there somewhere didn't miss many in those days especially at the shit tip. Every bloody thing is making me feel old now a days.

 

[Kentbear]

Young Messi there bottom left 2 in 3 up.

 

[bearfaeayr]

A right good few boys from the old Lantern Coylton RSC in that photo.

I used to go on the Partick bus as well. Great bunch of guys.

Spot the lassie in the crowd!

That could be an Allan Glen’s FP rugby top, our playing fields were in Bishopbriggs.

 

[spotlight]

Just left of dead centre, guy with the thick glasses
Good to see The Proclaimers old man in with the Derry.

 

[Masterblue]

Thanks a lot thats being doing my head in.

 

[derek145]

I used to go on the Partick bus as well. Great bunch of guys.

I started going about 1980 and my dad only allowed me to go because there was no signing allowed on the bus and there was a mother and daughter from the church travelled on it and they would keep an eye on me. I'm sure Mr Dingwall was a member at the time to.

Yip remember that well

 

[johnball0_0]

went to many a cup final as moved to mount Florida in 76 ....even went to World Cup send off in 78 thinking we might win a game or 2 as DJ was the main man....we never won many leagues then but always got to the cup finals usually against the sheep or Dundee Utd or Hibs ...we usually won.There was a shop on Victoria road where you could buy tickets for the finals.Had some great days and when we scored you couldn't see the pitch due to the dust cloud from the Rangers end...never to be forgotten

 

[Carltonblue]

I'm guessing 79-80, as I see a Valencia hat in there.

Yes we played that mob on the Saturday after drawing 1-1 in Valencia. It would explain the miserable expressions as we were dire and lost 1-0. Plus Billy Urquhart was playing.

 

[Luca Stroppi]

A young bear down the front with a King Billy patch on his scarf...I haven’t seen any King Billy regalia in amongst the Rangers support for decades, bit sad to be honest.
