54andcounting 0 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 After a trophyless season in 1976-77 under Jock Wallace, Rangers started '77-'78 with two league defeats to Aberdeen away (1-3) then Hibs at Ibrox (0-2)...the fans demonstrated outside after the game demanding the managers head. Wallace survived and went on to win his second treble. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1872 4 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Maybe ten or twenty years from now people will look back and say, 'That McCoist scored some number of goals.' (Ally McCoist, 1993) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1872 4 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Long before the arrival of Brian Laudrup, Rangers had discovered another " Great Dane", " Prince of Denmark" - fill in your own cliche here. His name was Carl Hansen, a centre-forward who had played against Rangers on their close season tour of Denmark in 1922. However, his nickname was "The Little Shoemaker" ( bet you hadn't filled that one in above!) and as well as being a success at Ibrox ( and a life-long Gers fan) he became the first foreigner to score in an Old Firm match. Unfortunately what should have been a long, glittering career was cut short when his leg was broken playing for the Reserves in 1924 resulting in him having to give up playing and return to Denmark. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy steel 0 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Rangers signed the first overseas player in British football history, when they brought goalie Karl Pekarna over from Prague following a 1904 tour of the then Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was tours such as this which expanded the popularity of football around Europe. Although Karl never played - seemingly even then, we were a sucker for a foreign name. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
