Gordon Marshall was in goals for Motherwell on helicopter Sunday.

 

Gordon Marshall was in goals for Kilmarnock on that other league decider game when we beat Dunfermline (the infamous Chris Sutton day)

 

But, and not a lot of people know this...

 

When we won the league at Pittodrie in Graeme Souness' first season, we needed Falkirk to take something at Parkhead ... they won 2-1, who was in goals for the Bairns that day?

 

Gordon Marshall, that’s who.

Where's Mr. Ripley when you need him eh? Good find GS.

When John Greig received his Testimonial in 1978, he became the first Gers player to be granted one since Davie Meiklejohn 53 years earlier. To watch Rangers thrash the Scotland side soon to be in Argentina, for the disastrous 78 World Cup Finals a crowd of 65,000 turned up – still a record attendance for such a game. The Bears were rewarded by seeing a great performance from Rangers and a deserved 5-0 win with Greig, Bobby Russell (2) and Derek Johnstone scoring the goals. In that Treble-winning season, these three Gers played maybe the most significant roles in Gers' success but only ONE ( DJ ) was taken to Argentina by Ally McLeod and he didn't even manage a substitute appearance. Perhaps the Scotland side's display at Ibrox should have been seen as a bad omen for Argentina.

In 1961 from Aug 30th to Nov 4th a bloke by the name of Christie played 7 games for Rangers at centre-forward and scored 8 goals including 1 in an OF game and a double in a 3-2 win against AS Monaco in the European Cup, very impressive.

His eighth and LAST game was against Dundee in a 5-1 defeat at Ibrox, on Nov 11th.

 

Anyone got any information on this player, why did he never play for Rangers again, where did he end up?

 

James Christie 1/7/61 to 1/7/62 played

 

transferred to Hakoah(Australia)

Consolation would have been taken by the relegated Ayr, however, as Rangersâ?? victory ensured they finished one point above Ayrâ??s bitter rivals, Kilmarnock and thus denied â?? or delayed â?? the trophy heading to what is now East Ayrshire. The close season, incidentally, witnessed £11,000 heading from Ibrox to Somerset in exchange for the striker, Jim Christie, who is remembered most for two goals for Rangers in a 3-2 win at Ibrox over Monaco in the preliminary round of the European Cup.
