Steve1872 4 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 When Rangers beat Airdrie 4-0 at Broomfield in January, 1956, Gers’ Johnny Hubbard was distraught at having missed a penalty. It was the South African’s first miss in 7 years, having scored with 22 consecutive spot kicks. In total, the “Penalty King” Hubbard converted 54 of the 57 penalties he took while a Rangers player. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1872 4 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Billy Williamson, in two seasons, from 1947 – 49, only played in two Scottish Cup ties. However, both were in the Final and he scored in each. Therefore, he ended up with the unlikely record of: played 2, scored 2, winner’s medals 2. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve1872 4 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 In the 1960 / 61 European Cup, in the second round, Rangers were drawn against East German Champions, Vorwarts of Berlin. Gers won the first leg 2-1 in East Berlin but because the Allied Authorities wouldn’t grant the East Germans the necessary visas, Vorwarts couldn’t come to Ibrox to play their away leg. This was played in Malmo, Sweden. With Rangers leading 1-0, fog caused the match to be abandoned at half-time. It was replayed the next morning at nine o’clock in front of a few hardy spectators. Rangers won 4-1 this time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
