colinstein 294 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 How about some help here. we played away in Europe. Can't remember the details. Game was abandoned or postponed. I seem to remember it was neutral venue (don't know why) The replay was in the morning somewhere (might have been Sweden or Denmark). Maybe against an east German side....can't remember...late 1950's, early 1960's. Anyone got a clue ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 and another one..........mid week frosty night at Cathkin...George Young was managing Thirds. Wee wullie ran riot....think it finished 4....1 Telstar on the PA....There was an international side in the stand so maybe Scotland were at Hampden on the Saturday....it would explain wee wullie in the team as Alex Scott would have been called up. Anybody know how to look these things up ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe against an east German side....can't remember...late 1950's, early 1960's. Anyone got a clue ? This was the 1961/2 European Cup when we played Vorvarts Berlin. The Rangers-Vorwärts tie scheduled to be played at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow was finally staged at the Malmö Stadion, Malmö, Sweden, the East German side having again been refused visas to enter Britain. The original match in Malmö was abandoned due to heavy fog (Rangers were winning 1-0) and the match was replayed the following morning. (Wikipedia). We went on to play Standard Liege in the Quarter Finals and were beaten 4-3 on aggregate, a tie that made me realise Rangers were not quite the best team in the world. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know how to look these things up ? Rangers beat Third Lanark 4-1 on Tuesday 23rd October 1962 at Cathkin Park. But the nearest International was the previous Saturday at Ninian Park, Scotland winning 3-2. Just google with as much as you know and possible answers will come up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinstein 294 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) Rangers beat Third Lanark 4-1 on Tuesday 23rd October 1962 at Cathkin Park. But the nearest International was the previous Saturday at Ninian Park, Scotland winning 3-2. Just google with as much as you know and possible answers will come up. if Alex Scott played in the Scotland game on Saturday, it would explain why wee wullie played on Tuesday against Thirds. The visiting players in the stand........who knows..? Edited September 3, 2016 by colinstein 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The visiting players in the stand........who knows..? Wullie Henderson played in the game against Wales scoring a wonder goal. Dennis Law and Eric Caldow also scored with John Charles and Ivor Allchurch scoring for Wales. Those were the days! It must be an earlier game you are thinking of, but maybe not 4-1. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
