Just reflecting on some great Rangers moments I have had throughout the years. I was a young 17 year old lad at the Nou Camp in 1972 when we won the Cup winners cup. I was at Easter Road in 1975 when Colin Stein scored to stop them winning 10 in a row. I went through the John Greig era to the Souness revolution and then Walter Smiths blue and white army capturing 9 in a row in the 90's. Players like Gazza, McCoist, Laudrup what a brilliant team we had then. We then had Wee Dicks Oranj army and some great footballers in the De Boers, Numan, Van Bronkhorst to name a few. On to Big Eck and our last day title triumphs. For me nothing beats when I was at Easter Road on 22nd May 2005. I was 50years old and when wee Novo scored that day I went AWOL celebrating for 4 days. Ended up in a taxi and then going out with big Dado Prso and Soti Kyriakos. On to Manchester 2008 under Walter. We punched above our weight then and our luck ran out in the final.

On to the 2012 years the drop down to league 2 and the journey back. I followed every step of the way. The 50000 attendances in the bottom tier of Scottish football. No other club like us and none need compare. We built our way back up and got back where we belong. On to 2021 and when Celtic were on the verge of the 10. Stevie G at the helm and the famous Let's Go chant. To go unbeaten that season with what was at stake was a phenomenal achievement. This was the 2nd time in 46 years I had seen the 10 being stopped. With where we went in 2012 there was a hell of a lot more at stake this time around and what Gerrard did with that group of players won't ever be matched. Now on to 2026. I am 71 years young and Rangers are the only team for me. We have 6 games to go and those players know what's required. I have seen many ups and downs over the years but as I write I sit here quietly confident. 56 is incoming troop. Keep believing 🇬🇧🫡

A life well lived bud and more to come. 👍

Brilliant post Florida. Mid 80s onwards for me, mate, so missed May huge nights in our beautiful club's history. I hope you're right about it coming home.

Some unreal memories there mate. 👍🇬🇧

I was a wee boy in 72 riot in the hoose and our big German dug had to sleep with me. He was called Bud and got nervy and confused at his name getting yelled all night. My uncle was there and got whacked over the nut with a polis baton.

Olympacos slipped up yesterday and now 6 points behind the leaders. This should be a massive incentive to every1 at Rangers to go and win this title. Heart on your sleeve and leave everything on the pitch.

06 Apr 2026 16:47:43
Sorry should say 5 points.

05 Apr 2026 23:13:37
I see Olympiakos lost to AEK today. That's them five points behind in the league so if we push on and win the league our chances of going straight into CL looks a lot better.

05 Apr 2026 23:35:28
So what is the situation with this?
Is it, if Olympiacos win their league, they qualify straight in, and if they don't, the spot goes to the winners of our league?

05 Apr 2026 23:52:18
Three Cheers, yes, but only us from our league, Celtic or Hearts would need to qualify.

06 Apr 2026 00:14:15
#Qualifiers.

06 Apr 2026 07:50:09
Think it is only if the winners of CL have already qualified through their league. If Liverpool were to win it, that might be a problem.

06 Apr 2026 12:16:00
We won't have a problem then, Penrith. Can't see slot being able to win Champs League.

06 Apr 2026 14:24:07
Think PSG will solve that.

05 Apr 2026 22:01:48
Don't know how many commentators read our site but I don't think that I have heard " took one for the team " so many times, the only silly one was the boy from Hearts how he thought he would get away with it and just about did ref got slaughtered by the pundits who all said it was a straight red.


Should have taken the rights out to the saying, would have been enough to sign Olsen sorry Pennyburn.

Well done Leeds.

05 Apr 2026 23:23:20
At least they got there in the end, as West Ham scored 2 goals in injury time to take it into extra time.

05 Apr 2026 10:08:36
Did anyone watch the Arsenal game last night?
What was the Arsenal player thinking when they had the free kick near the end of the game and he grabbed hold of the ref and pushed him away from the ball so he could get on with his free kick.

Yes I seen that, Three Cheers, laughed when I seen it, mate, he's caught up in the game, nothing nasty.
Nice take and finish from Ross Stewart, and Charles' winner was tidy as well.

05 Apr 2026 16:19:21
I was laughing at it myself, star, as it's not something you see every day. As you say, caught up in the heat of the moment, desperate for a goal. Nothing wrong with a bit of passion.

06 Apr 2026 03:13:42
I'd imagine he will get a retrospective ban. You say nothing nasty and just a bit of passion, but you can't put your hands on an official like that. Very surprised it wasn't red at the time.

06 Apr 2026 12:07:52
Herewego, he was caught up in the game, yellow was the correct call. imo.

06 Apr 2026 20:00:17
Being caught up in the game is no excuse for putting your hands on an official, mate. If being caught up in the game was an excuse, there would be a lot less red cards issued, as a lot of them are due to players being "caught up in the game".

I know it's not exactly a vicious push, but if he gets away without a ban, it leaves the door open for players to start pushing officials. Honestly, think the FA will step in here.

{Ed001's Note - the last player in the Prem to do it got an 8 game ban.}
