    That was a hard night to be a spectator - so close yet so far. However, my abiding recollection of that night will always be after the final whistle when they received one of the best ovations any Rangers team in my lifetime and certainly the best at a moment of failure. It was incredibly uplifting, seared into the memory forever.

    If there is one thing we excel in at Ibrox then it’s glorious failure I would still be looking to sack the Dutch dud if he adds to that list .

    I think that would be August'71?

     

    We played two pre-season friendlies against Everton and Spurs, three days apart. We won 2-1 against the Toffees, DJ getting a double and; defeated North Londoners 1-0, Bud notched.

     

    I remember the Everton game for the performance of their left back, Terry Darracott. He was all action, booted everything, including putting a ball boy into the air after a mis-timed slide tackle. 

     

    The Spurs match featured their heavily hyped England(13 goals in 24 internationals) centre forward, Martin Chivers. He was a BIG unit. Ronnie McKinnon gave him a lesson.

    Think they also had Ralph Coates signed from Burnley wee baldy bloke with a comb over hairstyle
