Always wondered about the red and black socks and the reason Rangers wore them. It was the colours of the emblem of the Govan crest and was also the colours used on the funnels of ships built at Govan ship yard.

Another bit of info have been looking for is Glasgow Rangers had a strict clean shaving policy back in 1972 and before but our captain John Greig had a beard. Can anyone shed any light on that thanks.

Because John Greig had stitches on his chin and could not shave.

I think Greig was given special dispensation to grow his beard as he felt that it would be bad luck to shave it off during our ECWC run. Pure superstition and he was going to shave it off if and when we got knocked out. The rest is history.

I thought it was that he wouldn't shave it off until we were knocked out of the European Cup Winners' Cup (and we weren't) . Maybe that's not right?

It is correct he initially had stitches, we embarked on a run in Europe where he felt it was lucky.
With approval of Willie Waddell he said he would shave it off once we were out.

Clean shaven and club blazers were standards the club set.

I always thought it was the Souness era that we stopped the clean shaven rule due to Souness tash.
