Popular Post Scott7 6,149 Posted December 12 Popular Post Share Posted December 12 I was at the top of the terracing near stairway 13 looking across at the well-to-do in the enclosure. The result was close but in truth Rangers were well beaten by an outstanding side. One of the best goalies I’ve ever seen, two competent tradesmen at fullback, bruisers at centre half and centre forward, at wing-half one architect and one enforcer, at inside forward one goal-maker and one goal-taker and a Welsh wizard on either wing. Perfectly balanced for skill, speed and robustness. The match had been postponed from the previous Wednesday because of fog. On the Saturday Rangers annihilated a good Kilmarnock side 6-0. On a gloomy ‘bus after the ‘Spurs game an old communist from Greenock (wearing his Balliol College tie) reckoned Killie got what ‘Spurs would have got if the original game had gone ahead. That’s the Left for you. Dreamers. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only compo and I remain. Rangers scarf paired with a Balliol tie on a miners’ ‘bus a unique combination. I hasten to add that I was no miner, only lucky enough to be their guest. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tightest, laziest bunch you'd encounter, unless there was compensation to be claimed, then they'd get their arses in gear!.

Frankie 8,651 Posted December 12 Author Share Posted December 12 Manager didn't give much away in his presser but he did mention rotation due to Sunday's cup final. As such, I do expect a few changes tonight with the Celtic game in mind. Might not be as drastic as image below as subs can always be made. For example, there is no real reason why the likes of Jefte and Sterling in particular can't play up to an hour tonight and still start on Sunday. It also wouldn't surprise me to see Ridvan start up against Kuhn at Hampden in any case. Come on the Rangers! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 26th of foot 6,113 Posted December 12 Popular Post Share Posted December 12 I attended the pre-season friendly at Ibrox against Spurs at the start of August'69. A large crowd watched an impressive Tottenham side including Pat Jennings, Cyril Knowles, Martin Chivers, Jimmy Greaves, Mike England, Alan Gilzean, Joe Kinnear, Alan Mullery and, Terry Venables. Rangers dominated the game and won 2-0, I believe Bud Johnson scored both? A week later, Everton were the visitors and the Toffees had a wonderful side. Joe Royle, Brian Labone, Howard Kendall, Alan Ball and, Colin Harvey. We won 2-1. David White put out entertaining Rangers teams. Reference the Great Revolution and all that goes with it. My Butler informs me we are all for it as long as I am appointed the GOC(General Officer Commanding) of the Vanguard of the Proletariat. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
