54andcounting 0 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 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. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) 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.

GovanAllan 0 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 My late great Mother-in-Law used to date Davie Wilson as a youngster, as my Father-in-Law says he could dance on the pitch Allan but I could dance where it counted. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,234 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Alex Scott scored a hat trick in his first game against Falkirk at Ibrox 1954/55 season. Next week in a friendly at Highbury he scored both Rangers goals in a draw with the Arsenal. Scot Symon did not have a reputation as a "tracksuit" coach but Alex Scott attributed his immediate success in part to the advice he got from the ref running alongside him at the Albion practice matches. The ref was in fact the manager. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
