What is Rangers’ biggest letdown?

[buster. 4,808]

I know this is everyone's personal thoughts but I can't comprehend the Ramsdens Cup being number one let down.

 

Eintracht for me.

Edit. 2022 before anybody asks 

 

@Gonzo79 I went to quite a few games on the Union Jack bus back in mid to late 70's. Was a hoot !! Me and a mate would go (started on UJ at 12 years old / cost us 50p each).

Ouch. Not the Seville one but the 3-12 aggregate. 
 

This is a terrible topic. Who started it?

derBerliner, buster and Malonsgob dragged me into it.

I can barely remember what decade I was on it - possibly late 90s and early 00s.  There were some characters.

Until fairly recently, I went through with my hometown RSC but prefer the train now.  

 

Was on the Union Jack bus a couple of times when I was younger - always a good laugh.  😀

I know people from the Jack. I go on the John Niven (loyal)

I agree with the defeat to Raith Rovers,as we had come through so much over the few years and I was looking forward to a cup celebration.

However that was denied and sitting at Easter Road and seeing the ball enter the net was devastating.

I was about to apologise but then you brought up a match/day I had almost completely erased from my memory.

I remember John Niven.

 

He was a Firefighter from Edinburgh. I believe he passed after a horrendous bus journey back from a Euro' game in Romania? A blood clot?

 

I used to meet John at Reserve League West and Youth fixtures. He always carried the Edinburgh Evening News because he continually riled and raged against a columnist, Bill Lothian. Apparently, he was a bitter Jambo who attributed every Rangers success to, "the Rangers bounce". John penned an unpublished letter to the paper/columnist stating the Rangers bounce was celebrated by the Bouncy.

Were does one start 

The dire quality of the football being served up

A lack of quality coming from the youth ranks 

A manager who in my opinion is hopeless 

And a board that conspired to fleece the fans 

At one time we could compete with decent teams now these performances are few and far between

I believe you are right 26th. I dont go far enough back - be going about 15-16 years right enough, but John was on before I joined the JNL
