ian1964 10,613 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 ON THIS DAY in 1991 Rangers beat Aberdeen to win Walter Smith’s first title as manager. Mark Hateley scored a brace to secure the league on the final day of the season and write himself into the Ibrox history books. The Gers were cruising to three-in-a-row, but when Graeme Souness left to join Liverpool, Aberdeen, who were 10 points adrift with just seven games to go, closed the gap and headed to Glasgow only needing a point to lift the silverware. It was to prove a dramatic and euphoric end to the campaign for the Gers, with Hateley, who joined from Monaco the previous summer, hitting both goals in a 2-0 win to deny the Dons and spark wild celebrations at Ibrox. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Never forget it as a fresh faced 16yo I will never forget that either as all my Scottish friends had come over to Holland to play in a 5-a-side football tournament. Between games we were trying to get every bit of info possible. We had a wee celebratory drink after it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Was this the game that Bomber Brown played with torn ligaments or something like that ? We were the walking wounded that day. Never forget Hateley's goals that day, was a nerve-wracking day until the 2nd went in !! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
