Used to play National League Volleyball with Ronnie in the 80's, great guy, very competitive ! When he was a PE teacher at Trinity High School( Catholic school just down from Cambuslang ) he told me he would wear Rangers Shorts to wind them up, would also be a complete bastard in Circuit training if we lost an Old Firm game

I was at that 8-0 game against Queens Park. Was hoping we would hit ten LOL. Parlane got a hat-trick, as did Tommy McLean. Other scorers were Ally Scott (who I think was our second highest scorer that season) and Eric Morris.

Eric Morris springs to mind. I've no idea why.

I'm sure I seen him playing junior can't remember if it was with Pollok though? I thought he was with Petershill but it's probably me getting mixed up.
Played for and managed Pollok.

I used to go to the odd Pollok game in the mid 90s and Ronnie Lowrie was their goalie. I had no idea he'd played for Rangers though!
Was also in attendance that day.
Donald Hunter was our goalie .

I have no recollection whatsoever of Donald Hunter I have to say. Looks like he only ever played a handful of matches for us, 3 I think. Bizarrely, I DO remember Ronnie Lowrie - who never played a first team game for us. Funny how your mind works sometimes.

Was he in his 40's when winning the junior cup with Pollok?
I also was at the 8-0 game on the terracing as a kid

Looking at the photo, his GK shirt hasn't the RFC badge either, was he not allowed one?

Think their is a badge on the jersey, think it’s white if you look at carefully. It just doesn’t show up that well in that pic.

Rest assured Andy Firth wont make that mistake again.

He would have been 42 when they won the Scottish Junior Cup.
They had an excellent team back then. I remember Davie Elliot, Ian Spittal and Danny Diver being stand-outs for them in those days.

I was there also. We drew Dundee in the next round at Ibrox. It was one of the first Sunday games ever, as championed by Jack Steadman who predicted a huge crowd. Over 60,000 turned up and we got royally horsed 0-3.

I was at that one as well. Absolute nightmare. Huge crowd - huge letdown. As you say, it must have been the first Sunday game in Scotland I think.

Donald Hunter ex keeper

Hunter played in goal in an embarrassing 2-3 defeat to Arbroath at Ibrox in early 70's as I recall among his few first team games for us.
Trivia 1 Celtc also had a Keeper named Hunter(Ally) at this time.
Trivia 2 Andy Bruce also a Rangers goalie left to join the Police.

No, Erik was manager of Morton by then.

I'm sure we signed Eric Morris from Irvine Meadow, left winger converted to a left back I think, very few first team games.I was at that game.

You certainly had more to do than Donald Hunter that day.
