Born 100 years ago today in Glasgow was Jimmy Duncanson.
Maybe not one of our most famous names, but his record in the blue jersey deserves remembering.
An inside forward, he scored twice in his debut, a 4-0 win over Queens Park in the wartime Southern League.
Scored in the famous 8-1 win over Celtic in January 1943.
Is the 3rd highest scorer in history for Rangers against Celtic if you include all competitions with 22 goals. Only legends RC Hamilton and Ally McCoist scored more.
The first Rangers player of the 20th Century to score a league hat trick against Celtic, in a 4-0 home win on New Years Day 1949 in front of 95000 supporters.
Overall, he scored 149 goals for Rangers in 320 appearances between 1940 and 1950.
As well as numerous wartime and "minor" honours, he won 2 League championships, 3 Scottish Cups and 2 League Cups.
Scored twice in the first ever Scottish League Cup final.
A regular at Ibrox as a fan after his playing career right up until his passing in 1996.
And he went to the same school as my old dad, John Street Secondary in Bridgeton!
A century since his birth, but his achievements are timeless.
