BrahimHemdani 1 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 I think we were the first team to tour Russia undefeated, this was the reason for the welcome. I have found this excellent account by By Ronnie Esplin and Graham Walker http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=p4H72lQMU5IC&pg=PT68&lpg=PT68&dq=rangers+tour+of+russia+1962&source=bl&ots=ywmzuClx0w&sig=kRebj76Ri5u1P4P85CCUF_dFEqM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=BZ9CU_mxDaqH0AX2goGgAg&ved=0CF0Q6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=rangers%20tour%20of%20russia%201962&f=false 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 5,242 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Near to greetin' at the memory. The Hearts final was a replay after a 1-1 draw. Standing room only on a train back to Edinburgh 'Gers and Hearts fans happily mixing. An old guy said to me my team was there to be beaten that day. My response " fair enough but you couldn't do it." No acrimony just football talk. The Dundee champs were a smashing side. Great team to watch but not when cuffing you 1-5. Ian McColl played a blinder in the cup final after being out with injury most of the season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you'll remember, we beat that great Dundee team of Alan Gilzean, Kenny Cameron et al in the 1964 Final; but that, as they say, is another story. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why yes, I remember it well and I look forward to your story. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
