Steve1872 4 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 In Rangers' 9-in-a-row seasons, how many fans could name the teams that came runners-up in each case? Starting in 88/89 it was Aberdeen, 6 points adrift; 89/90, Aberdeen, 7 pts; 90/91, Aberdeen, 2 pts; 91/92, Hearts, 9 pts; 92/93, Aberdeen, 9 pts; 93/94, Aberdeen, 3 pts; 94/95, Motherwell, 15 pts; 95/96, Celtic, 4 pts; 96/97, Celtic, 5 pts. So the Dons were runners-up 5 times in that spell. No wonder their fans hate us so much! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve1872 4 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 In April 1888, Rangers beat Vale of Leven 5-3 at Hampden in a Glasgow Charity Cup game. 3,000 fans were there to be entertained but the ref whistled for the end of the match 10 minutes earlier than scheduled. Why? The Vale team had to rush away to catch their train back to Alexandria! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1872 4 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 In 1943, manager, Bill Struth, who lived in a tenement in Copland Road, had a personal greenhouse built for himself inside the stadium, at the rear of the Broomloan Road terracing. This survived well into the 1950s and, despite numerous Old Firm matches, no damage to it was ever reported. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine what would happen to that these days. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
