March 31st '62 While Rangers were beating Motherwell in the Semi-Final of the Scottish Cup at Hampden, Jim Baxter was playing for the British Army against the Belgium Army. Jim was back for the Final to brush aside St Mirren in a one-sided 2-0 victory. Brand and Wilson were the scorers.

Rangers sent Scot Symon to Madrid in 1963 to study the play, training plans and tactical techniques of Real Madrid, that was AFTER they humped us 7-0 on aggregate.

As a kid me and my mate regularly went along to the Albion training ground to watch Rangers train perched on the surrounding wall. When 'Slim Jim' returned in '69 it was massive, the return of a Rangers great. One day in our usual position on top of the wall which surrounded the 'Albion' the ball came over from a wayward Kai Johansen blast at goal, my mate who went to retrieve the ball in the car park trapped it sublimely flicked it up and done a very impressive keepy-upy for a few seconds before Baxter came looking for the wayward Johansen effort. My pal kicked the ball towards Jim but slightly mis-kicked it and the ball ended up in my hands, me graciously 'handed' the ball to Jim saying "there you are - here's the ball...The 'not so slim' Jim kicked the ball under a car and spent the next 5 minutes trying to retrieve it, we stood in amazement. True.

Pic's too BIG for my screen?? Anyways a blue crest with white stars is the only adjustment to the 'original' design, that'll do it. Edit: or vice versa

I'm a Rangers fan because of the school I went to. I'm not OO...so what? I love everything about the club and it's roots and don't like 'others' slamming my beliefs as far as Rangers FC goes. If my club wants to parade about on the football field in an orange strip, that's ok with me (as long as they're winning ha ha) An old Rangers song that was sung weekly on my supporters bus on the way to a game was how I was brought up. Sorry if it offends thee, so GIUY. Orange and Blue When Brethren are met in their Orders so grand, What a beautiful sight for to view. I was ordered to stand, by a brother's command, To receive the bright Orange and Blue. To receive the bright Orange and Blue. In darkness I entered, the Lord He knows where, First bound me in chains it is true; My shoes from my feet I did then cast away, To receive the bright Orange and Blue. A rumbling noise just like thunder I heard, Presented itself to my view, You would stand with amazement to see them proclaim, To receive the bright Orange and Blue. A glittering light unto me was revealed, I became a fresh soul, quite anew; I'll stand by my cause, my religion, and laws, I'll die by the Orange and Blue. What a shameful disgrace on a Lodge it doth bring, To see brethren each other subdue; When hatred and envy profession pursue, Then they fly from the Orange and Blue. Let us join heart and hand, and like William stand, In defending a cause just and true; Let the Boyne be our guide, as our forefathers died In defence of the Orange and Blue.

I was ordered to stand by my fathers command to receive the bright orange and blue... Old Rangers song I'd like to hear again.

Serious question: Is Charles Green an Orangeman?

Lucky Charles Green didn't promote green away shirts in honour of HIM!!! That would have been a NO NO!!

October 1961: Scotland bt N. Ireland 6-1 in Belfast. Caldow, Baxter, Scott, Brand and Wilson all played. All the goals were scored by Rangers players. Wilson got 2, Scott scored 3 and Brand got the other.

....4 days later the Scottish League beat the English League 4-3 at Villa Park, Wilson scored 3, Brand got the other.

How about an all orange strip with blue white & red adidas stripes with union jacks under the RFC badges on the shirt and shorts....that would be a real money maker. :tu:

I've taken Steve1872's post from another thread regarding making a complaint to BBC LONDON. in regards to the offensive/bias intro to the Sportscene programme on Wednesday evening. I'm doing this just in case some who want to complain missed it. Btw, this only takes 5 minutes of your time. Here's what BBC Scotland used as their intro for 'Gers v 'Well, in case you missed that too. http://www.telly.com/F9J36?fromtwitvid=1
