A thoroughly likeable young man and an absolute legend of a footballer in the making. Pity he'll not get the opportunity to play for us.

You never know. He might develop a persistent injury or medical condition that  benches him for long periods every season - then he'd fit our marquee signing profile perfectly.

I had a discussion with a fellow Rangers fan recently, where he told me Scotland used to wear black socks, as a nod to Queens Park and this carried on into the 60s.  

 

I always thought the socks were navy, like the shirt. 

 

Anyone know which of us is correct?  I have a fashion rule where I never wear navy and black simultaneously because it looks hideous, so I hope I'm right.

Up until as late as mid sixties the Scottish international football socks were dark navy blue, like naval uniform colour and - shock, horror - the fold-over was red. I’ve seen team photos with a narrow white fold-over and I have a vague memory of darkish blue.

It may well be time playing with my memory but i also seem to recall socks being black with the red tops.
