Supporting Rangers still feels like a fool's errand at times but the last month has shown football remains a funny old game and, as we approach Christmas Day, it's fantastic to see us winning the League Cup, being Scotland's sole representative in Europe post-group stage and, whisper it, challenging again for the title. Yes, we're struggling with injuries and genuine quality during some games but there's no doubt Philippe Clement has restored some belief to our players and fans since his arrival. To that end, I hope everyone has a safe, happy festive period and is able to enjoy a few more Rangers victories as well as, more importantly, valuable time with your friends and family. I certainly hope Santa brings us three more wins before 2023 is out and let's hope 2024 is a prosperous one for all Rangers fans and our club. Merry Christmas to you and yours mate. Also a very merry Christmas to all Gersnetters and their families 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 26th of foot 6,082 Posted December 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2023 I would like to wish all Gersnetters lots of pudding and pie. Can I share a wee Christmas memory from 1971? Christmas day was not an official holiday in Scotland until 1974. Easter and the risen Lord was the big religious festival but, we saw on the TV how much fun the English were having at Christmas and decided to participate. The 25th December'71 was a Saturday, a working day and, Scottish football had it's final Christmas day fixture list. I was a 14 year old schoolboy and when asked what did I want from Santa, my reply was to view Rangers at Easter Road. Santa was good to good boys and I travelled on the Tannochside Loyal RSC to the capital city. 25,000 squeezed into the old Leith ground and watched an attritional game. Large snow flakes began to settle on the pitch in the ninetieth minute as the ball was hoofed from the Rangers box. The ball was hooked on by Colin Stein and the Lone Ranger chased down his own ball forcing Hibs defender, Black to concede a corner. Tam McLean stepped up as the snow began to drive, the corner found Colin, Colin Stein's head and flew into the net. Winter was howling and the Bears were growling, we only sing and dance in blizzards. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Rangers were signing Mikel Arteta the Spanish press were calling them Guardabosques. Försterei sounds much better. Förster is one way of translating "ranger"in German, the etymological equivalent would be "forester". So "Alte Försterei" would be the "Forester's/Ranger's old house" or the "Old Forester's-House". I only noted this a couple of months ago. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have added that Union-Fans hold a x-mas singing every year. It started a few years back with some fans sneaking into the stadium and having some fun on the pitch, but was warmly greated by club and fans alike, turning nowadays into an event of 30odd thousand, which was streamed live yesterday on local TV (much to the "delight" of the Hertha-fans, no doubt) ...

der Berliner 3,744 Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Allen hier ein Frohes Fest! A thousand stars erect a dome in quiet earth-embracing night. A candle blooms and spreads its shine and fills our hearts with great delight. In this silence we rejoice, a light that pierces through our hearts, the high cathedral silvery swings, quietly wafted by the breath of Christmas. All the darkness falls away for we have lit this light of ours. Into next year it leads our way, through these silent, starlit hours. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
