Steve1872 4 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 For a short time in the early 1880’s Rangers changed their blue jersey for a blue and white hooped one. They wore it in 1882 for the first time in a match against Queens Park. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 In season 1966/67, John Greig won a European Cup Winners Cup tie against Real Saragossa on the toss of a coin. Rangers defeated Real Zaragossa 2-0, at Ibrox but lost the return match in Spain by the same margin. After 30 minutes of extra time, the teams were still level so the game was decided on the toss of a coin. John Greig still has the coin amongst his football memorabilia. A French frank. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1951 whilst playing for East Fife, Harold was called up to do his national service and was sent to fight in the Korean War. Unfortunately, he was badly wounded and took two years to make a full recovery. In 1956, he was signed by Rangers and played alongside such greats as Jim Baxter, Willie Henderson, and Eric Caldow. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
