I though it was worse. Faster both feet off the ground with more force. got none of the ball and was late. Both were reds or both weren't. I would say both were.

After the ECWC Final defeat in 1967(0-1 Bayern Munich), the start of 1967-68 season saw the introduction of several younger players. Colin Jackson, Alex Miller, Dennis Setterington, etc. Easily, the easiest on the eye was a young inside forward called, Billy Jardine. I saw him score against Aberdeen at Ibrox in August'67. The following August when we defeated Sellik 2-4 at ra Piggery, he was still Billy Jardine. I do not know when the switch to Sandy occurred?

Yep. Both Sellik and ourselves finished on 73 points, 14 points behind Champions, Bonnyrigg Rose. We scored 105 goals, way higher than any other team and our goal difference was eleven better than ra green'n'grey. Previous three times winners of the League, East Kilbride finished two points behind us in fourth.

Sakala & Davis were excellent, however I'm going for the Captain, I can't say it enough about what this guy has done for Rangers since he first walked into Ibrox and grew not just as a player but also a leader

It's great viewing, covering the time I really got into football.

The toffees are in trouble

I’ve gone for Tav as well. Davis had a great 1st half but not as influential in 2nd, Wright & Sakala both impressed with their positive running, but the captain was again the driving force, and without whom I think we may have crumbled in the second half. Good use of the squad and subs as well yesterday, got the 3 points and another few days rest for those we will need to be at 100% on Thursday.

Difficult; I mean John Lundstram played no part. I enjoyed watching Fashion Sakala, and, although Roy Makaay needs to give him some coaching on finishing, I'll go for him. I wouldn't argue with the double goal scorer, Scott Wright, to be honest.

On the challenges, I'd say Balogun was a certain red and Motherwells was a border-line red. However, given the "shirt-pulling" and penalty, it's "amazing" that Motherwell finished game with 11 players.

I will go for the ageless Davis

The Motherwell challenge wasn't as bad as the Balogun one. Balogun was a definite red. I don't think the Motherwell one was and if that had been our player I'd be hopeful it wasn't a red.

Tav - he seemed to be at the back and up front all at once (multiple times).

I see Leipzig lost at home 2-1 to Union Berlin. I wonder if they rested players?

You either drop two or three points if you're us or that lot. I will ignore their match tomorrow, as usual. I'll check the result at tea time. I think it's highly unlikely we'll win the league but haven't given up hope...yet.

He made 8 changes today, down to 10 men and we still won convincingly

One of my heroes growing up - all the very best to the Goalie.

Sad to say that Arbroath finished second while Kilmarnock won the division. Quite depressing. I was hoping that the Kilmarnock pitch, and manager, would remain down there forever.

Graham Fyfe - an Obituary. Looking over the team lines for 1971-72 season, Graham Fyfe is a fairly regular starter. He signed for Rangers in 1969, stayed seven years making 87 starts and, scoring 31 goals. It could be argued Graham sat on the bench for as many games? In the days of a maximum of one, then two allowed substitutions, Graham became Rangers first super-Sub'. Like David Fairclough at Liverpool, often he would come on late in a game and notch the important goal. He was a most versatile player, having appeared right across both Rangers front line and midfield. Skilful and talented, Graham had a keen eye for a pass. If no movement tempted him, he was most capable in creating more space by dribbling past two or three opposition players. A clever ball player and fairly regular scorer, older Gersnetters would agree, he was a good old fashioned inside forward. The European game suited Fyfe best, starting two of the nine game run to winning the European Cup Winners Cup in 1972. He was a named Substitute for half-a-dozen others, including being unused in the final. He made an appearance in the first ever European Super Cup final against Ajax. Fyfe was named Player of the Tournament in the Barcelona hosted Juan Gamper tourney in August'74. rangers defeated Athletico Bilbao 1-0 before succumbing 1-4 to Barca' in the final. Graham scored a wonder goal that day and local Journalists compared his talents to the opposition's Johan Cruyff. The Rangers support quickly adopted his new moniker in song, 'Johan Fyfe'. Born in Motherwell in August'51, Graham passed earlier this week aged 70 years. I have a personal favourite memory, an away League game against Celtic in September'74. We had up front injuries and Jock Wallace went with Quinton Young and Graham Fyfe as front two pairing. Despite Celtic taking a first half and half-time lead(1-0 Dalglish), we were the better, more fluid team. Young would go beyond, Fyfe drooped deeper to take the ball before reverse passing on to hard running pair DJ and Ian McDougall. In the second half Ted received a reverse pass, stepped into the D and shot off the post and into the net for our equaliser. Just over 15 minutes later, Bomber Jackson bulleted a header from a corner past Dennis Connaghan for the winner. Graham Fyfe was spectacular that day. He left Rangers for Hibs in the summer of 1976, he accompanied Ally Scott in a double swop for Iain Munro. A couple of seasons at Dumbarton ensued before spending his last six footballing years in the States at three clubs.
