Im in my late 30s and my first proper memories of football was the first game I attended v Bordeaux under the lights in a friendly, ive spoke about it many times on here when I walked up the stairs in the govan rear to see the pitch and main stand in front of me, its something that will stay with me forever. Also the 5-1 game with Wilkins volley I remember listening to the game with my dad and waiting patiently for the highlights that night, coupled with Italia 90 and the Champions League run of 92/93 these are my most prominent memories from my younger days.
Supporting rangers in my late teens was phenomenal, 9 in a row then the Advocaat era where we played some of the finest football ive ever seen coupled with some unbelievable talent, but these times we relied solely on the printed press, news bulletins on TV and radio and the weekly walk to the newsagents for the Rangers News..and hopefully a decent poster.
Fast forward to now and I literally think about Rangers 24/7, it consumes me. When we aren't playing I am counting the days until the next game, spending stupid amounts of time on Follow Follow, Facebook and Instagram watching videos and seeing what the players are doing on a day to day basis, its literally a full time job supporting Rangers now to a almost unhealthy status
Now when I park the car just off shieldhall rd and walk the mile to my seat I know pretty much to the second when I can check Instagram and see the team line up, 25 years ago we waited for the team to be announced over the tannoy or if we were lucky someone next to us had a wireless.
I know I have kinda went off on a tangent but thinking about how we support our team now and say 20 years ago its a phenomenal difference, Rangers literally are my life now, they always were but in much small doses
Good or bad?
