Recent polls have featured some of our most entertaining attacking players and regular scorers of great goals. Not today.
This time, the 2 featured goals were scored by dependable long serving defenders, not remembered as creative or as a goal threat. And both goals were scored in 3-0 wins against Motherwell at Ibrox in title winning seasons.
Goal 1 is from April 1975, the scorer Alex Miller. It was the season we finally ended Celtic's domination of the league, preventing 10 in a row, and this was the game we played the Saturday before the immortal game at Easter Road when we clinched the championship and ended that long wait. The opening goal was this long range Alex Miller shot at what is now known as the Copland end.
Goal 2 is from December 1989, the scorer John Brown. Rangers were title holders and top of the table, with this being our 3rd goal near the end to confirm a comfortable victory. Earlier in the game Ally McCoist had scored a great goal to break the record for SPL goals, before Bomber blasted in another memorable effort, also at the Copland end.
2 powerful accurate shots from outside the box. 2 unlikely scorers. 2 well beaten Motherwell goalkeeper. 2 mostly forgotten goals.
Which one was better?
