compo 7,044 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Like most of us i have seen my fair share of these finals one that really stands out for me was the one against Greenock Morton who were having an excellent season under Hal Stewart and aided in this competition by some fan who blew a bugle hence the title the phantom bugler an excellent game up until half time Morton gave as good as they got second half Jim Forrest and his cousin Alex Willoughby put them to the sword .

Tannochsidebear 2,410 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 The 1987 Skol Cup Final v Dolly was my first Rangers cup final. Since then I have been to an additional 15 league cup finals with us winning 13 and losing 3. My record in LCF v Timmy is 3-2 in our favour. Memorable ones include Ally's overhead kick v Hibs, The Pigeon cup final v St Mirren and the 4-3 Hearts game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon the gers Remember it fine, compo. Nice sunny afternoon at Hampden in the Mount Florida end. Morton had a young forward, Morris Elliott who was supposed to be putting Rangers to the sword. As you say it didn’t happen. I think that was the season Morton put out the Hibs in the qf after a replay. Huge Morton following at Easter Road in the first match with the bugle guy blowing his head off. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 7,044 Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Then of course there was 57 I was in attendance with my brother and father on the bright side there wasn’t a really big crowd that day but I think my father would have loved to strap Valentine to one of his 25pounders . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,627 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 The 1986 final was magical as it was Souness's first trophy at the club, plus Mo (who we all hated back then) got sent off. The 87 final was incredible as it was a 3-3 draw with us winning on pens....plus THAT freekick. The 88 final, 3-2 with a late goal from Super was a great end to a trilogy of great finals. Being behind the goals in sections H/J back then was incredible. It's a shame that the youth of today will never experience anything like it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have to bring this up? I wasn’t there. I was watching my other team lose 0-5 at home to deadly rivals, strangely, the team Valentine played for before going to QP. The general consensus is that his replacement, a guy called Johnny Dutch, was a considerable improvement as a defender. I wish he’d been playing for Rangers instead of Valentine. The Hampden halftime score filtered round the ground about twenty minutes into the second half. The general consensus of friend and foe alike was that everything would come right in the end maybe with a replay. Wrong. A word for Partick Thistle and their stunning success a decade or so later. I saw the ‘58 LCF when Hearts beat Jags 5-0. Enough of these high scoring circuses. I’ll settle for 1-0 to the Righteous. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
