Oh what a night first goal went in we landed 6 rows down in main stand. Ma knees still hurting.Rangers v Bayern in 1972.
80,000+ in the old Ibrox!

Never have I celebrated anything like it and have been to a few crackers in my time.Barcelona 1972

73 cup final, listened on the Radio and was gutted I couldn't go.
Seen a few people say they done this on hereI got a ticket from my best mates brother for Easter Road 05. He gave the ticket up because he knew we wouldn’t turn it around.
I know he’ll still be regretting that decision.
A surreal 20 or 30 minutes
Was at that one, Copland Rear, brown section. Absolutely mental, but for me, two games stick out for me that I was at, Pittodrie for Souness’ first title win and home to Dynamo Kiev, just for the atmosphere.Helicopter Sunday or ‘99 game for me as I was old enough to appreciate them at the time and wished I was there.
For a game before my time, 2-2 against them with 9 men in 1987
This!Parkhead '99, easy. What a day that would have been
It was.Parkhead '99, easy. What a day that would have been
Florence for me is probably the only big game I missed I regret
Late 70's, the amount of times I saw us lose at the piggery was unreal. I then miss the game at the piggery when Alex Miller scores the winner.
Another day at the Stade de Gadd 01/01/1994 where their was genuine fearI was there it was genuinely feared for my life though as they were getting angrier by the second and we were so outnumbered
The 2-2 game gets a lot of mention yet that lot were down to 10 men but not may 1985 at the piggery. 9 men rangers came back with a late equaliser to draw 1-1, cooper and Dawson sent off. Aberdeen went on to win the title, there was a mounted police charge down janefield st as tims were battling. Just another great rangers game forgotten, aitken missed a retaken 2 min pen.Helicopter Sunday or ‘99 game for me as I was old enough to appreciate them at the time and wished I was there.

Barca 72 or Easter Road that day.Couple of days ago I mentioned in a Davie Cooper thread my old man showing me an old VCR recording of that free-kick and the noise it made hitting the net.
Outstanding, but my envy will always be directed to the lucky bastards that were at Easter Road in 05 given my age.
What game do you wish you seen in the flesh?
I went to the ground to try and get a ticket, knocked back a couple of home end tickets, time was getting on and 15 mins before kick off some random Rangers supporter just asked if I was looking for a ticket and he sold me a spare he had.I had a spare that day, and spent 5 minutes on the phone convincing one of my mates to just come for the day out and the swally.
He was skint, couldn't be arsed. I said I'd see him right with a cargo and a few pints.
I have no doubt he was the drunkest man on Paisley Road West that night, and I've never let him forget it.
It was some day.I went to the ground to try and get a ticket, knocked back a couple of home end tickets, time was getting on and 15 mins before kick off some random Rangers supporter just asked if I was looking for a ticket and he sold me a spare he had.
I'll forever be thankful to him after what transpired that day, the Rangers end when Scott McDonald banged those two goals in and the walk back up Easter Road after the trophy presentation will never be forgotten.
Agree, that was the only game I missed that year.Nobody said Tannadice ‘97 yet? Would love to have been there the night we clinched 9IAR.
I was rough as fvck on my couch watching their game against DU. Was convinced they'd make us wait another week. Then full time whistle went, had plans with the burd to go for dinner when she got home from work.Not a game but missed the 55 celebrations , find myself watching videos of it from time to time.

Amazing mate , so gutted I missed it. Then I thought if we won in seville it would happen again and I was here for it.I was rough as fvck on my couch watching their game against DU.

Text her saying that's not happening, off to George Square, stoated in at 12am absolutely blotto with a Union Jack hat and covered in kebab sauce. One of the best days of my life.
That's a sickener mateEaster Road in 05!
The really galling thing for me was, I was actually offered a ticket for it on my supporters bus at the time and said no thanks!
I was utterly certain the beggars would sweep Motherwell aside easily and I didn’t want to go all the way to Edinburgh to be depressed.
Needless to say Ive regretted my lack of staunchness ever since!!
Beautiful goal.... I don't remember shooting as being his strong suit.....Late 70's, the amount of times I saw us lose at the piggery was unreal. I then miss the game at the piggery when Alex Miller scores the winner.
I was at the game at Elland Rd - it was beyond fantastic. I can't imagine anything beating that in my life time...I would love to have experienced the game against Leeds Utd.
I was very lucky to have experienced the Lovenkrands cup final.

Was at helicopter Sunday and also 2003 when we won it and got to all the big games and cup finals round about that time so don't really have many regrets about games I've missed.
The 2 that will always annoy me slightly are the 2 European semi's. Got shafted slightly out a ticket for Florence (had loads of TC points and just missed the official trip) whereas indy 0 pointers got them.
Then was on holiday for Leipzig at home and had to sell my ticket.
I've never really wished I had been at a game from before I was born or before I started going regularly but if I had to pick I'd obviously go for Barca 72.
Think I got it the wrong way round! I applied indy and never got one and 0/1 pointers were getting on the official day trip. My dad was one of them, he phoned and asked if I could have his place and they said no, despite him having to cancel as he couldn't get the time off work.Just a small point mate - gutted about the two you missed I was at both but I can assure you Indy travellers with 0 points did not get tickets for Florence.
I was on 6 points and the cut off was 7 so traveled without one. Met a guy at Stanstead airport who told me a few corporate guys had handed tickets back and to give the travel club a call. So I did and a girl took my mobile number, called me back when I was in Florence and told me they had a ticket for me.
Won’t hear a bad word about the ticket office after that!
I missed that one, was gutted. Was at Easter Road though.Parkhead '99, easy. What a day that would have been
