No spectators 'Gers v Gunners? I suspect this is a photo of an earlier lights test game v reserves.

Lifted from "The Rangers Collection" site:

"Rangers v Arsenal

Friendly 8.12.1953

1-2

Attendance 80,000

Rangers Goalscorer McCulloch.

The Rangers Team

Brown, Young, Little, McColl, Stanners, Cox, Waddell, Grierson, W Simpson, Thornton, McCulloch"

Good full-back, Johnny Little.

You're right, boabie. Ronnie could play. Post Woodburn/Young I don't think we've had a better centre half though I'm eternally grateful to Willie Telfer.

Maybe MW says one thing to the press but something else to his players.

Better than Super and Hateley, Compo? I think they possibly were. Ralph Brand was the best technician of the four of them. Not much to choose between Millar and Hateley. Millar slightly better in the air despite being inches shorter so it's a dose of the good old M&B for me.

Graham and Pettigrew was an effective combo. I'd forgotten about them.

We used to have a conveyor belt of wingers, Compo - Waddell, Scott, Henderson, Hubbard, Wilson, Johnston even Neil McCann, though we had to buy him.

The belt seems to have jammed..

No he wasn't. Kich competed with Maxie Murray but Old Mother was unrivalled.

Robot?".........

Guardiola gutted.

As well as a penalty ace, he was a cracking winger - speed, trickery and a belter of a cross. Didn't head the ball much.

The photo must be from ten + years ago when he was in his seventies and he still looks as if he could dazzle down the touchline.

Goal average in those days. The ga for that match was 5.

Aye, but they shoogle them about when they're busy.

She won't hear the appeal on her own. There will be two others. Carloway and Drummond Young are possibles as is the third chap in the Tax Appeal whose name I've forgotten.

Isn't the prize scarf the natty number that Johnstones created for CG?

Mine is the classy 1959 reefer. Sure it's old but it is beautiful.

I'm seriously not keen to play these clubs

Thanks for that, ns. I enjoy a good joke.

The teams are maybe not far apart but otherwise, the most I can give you is that AS is not quite as bad as some of us had hoped. Swansea don't seem to rate him.

That's how AF did it.

It should be.

The modern football fan prefers parties and the telly to the game. Shocking.

They will.

I thought this was against King personally. How can they put King in jail if it is against an organisation? Do they just pick out the Chairman of the board and say you are het. Or am I mixing up court cases, there are that many going on?

I expect the gagging order is against the company, its officers, employees, agents, grannies, teaboys, etc., etc., ........

How much would he be worth today especially if he changed his name to Rafael Brando?

Good old Ralphie. Scott's cross, Millar's nod-down, GOAL, Ralph Brand!

He had a lot more to his game than finishing. He ran angles like a rugby league player.

Mind he cannae speak the language in Glesca either.

Today is the anniversary of that horendous 3-2 loss at alloa in the semi final of the so called diddy cup. It's exactly one year today. What's been your worst ever defeat? Berwick will always be mine...

Chesterfield. Still can't believe it.

Fulham per se would not be an attraction - the days of Macedo, Jezzard, Haynes and Leggatt are long gone - but get them up and into a tidy position in the PL and Chelsea might be looking for their new man.

Craig - i don't think there's anything in company legislation to prevent MA owning as many shares as he wants in a company but the SFA can exclude that comany's football club from their competitions if MA keeps a relevant holding in another club's company.
