See Tiger's shirt? All Rangers' shirts should look like that though the one that followed was more than acceptable.

 

See Willie Thornton's shorts? All players strips should look like that at the end of the match.

In the first leg of the 1961 European Cup Winners Cup Final at Ibrox, with the score standing at 0-1 to Fiorentina, Rangers captain Eric Caldow missed a penalty kick - shooting wide of the target.

 

This is Eric exchanging pennants with the Italian captain Alberto Orzan before kick-off.

In the 1959 European Cup game at Ibrox against a tough Anderlecht side, Ranger, Harold Davis eventually snapped having being fouled once too often. Jurion, a player who actually wore glasses on the pitch, committed a foul and knew immediately that the ex-Korean War veteran was on the warpath when he jumped up and glared at him. To the amazement of the crowd, the Belgian ran half way up the pitch with Davis chasing him but when Davis eventually caught up with the hapless Jurion, Harold could only burst out laughing at the absurdity of the situation

I think it was Ian McMillan who was being fouled and Harrold thought he'd put a stop to it. Must have been reassuring for the ball-playing artistes in the side to know that if any of the opposition clouted you, Harry or Bobby Shearer would be along to redress matters.
