The 1967 Cup Winners final line up.
Looks like Fir Park.

Probably is Motherwell as Norrie Martin looks like he wearing a Red Jersey. Rangers keepers didn’t have to change Jerseys much.

I think this might be my first game - Dunfermline, October 1968. (Dunfermline were Scottish Cup holders and reached ECWC semi-final that season).

It was a warm up game for Nuremberg

Should have been Jim Forrest sitting in the front row.
Enough said.

I think this might be my first game - Dunfermline, October 1968. (Dunfermline were Scottish Cup holders and reached ECWC semi-final that season).

Jardine playing Centre Forward scored our second goal that day (Persson got the first).
Alex Ferguson came off the bench (replacing Persson) and added a third in a 3-0 win.
Twelve days later we signed a proper Centre Forward in Colin Stein.

 

[The Meik's Crombie]

Who are our opponents @ItsInTheNet ? The game will have been between mid 1960 when Jim Baxter signed to February 1963 when Alex Scott left for Everton.

Ayr United I'm sure @The Meik's Crombie . Last game of the 1960/61 season. 7-3 victory to pip Kilmarnock for the title.

Poise and balance personified.

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

I think the Dunfermline defender on the right is a Callaghan?

Jim, brother of Tommy who went to the yahoos I'm sure.

I think it was Willie, the unmistakable face of a Callaghan.
The Goalkeeper is Bent Martin who also came from the Filth.

I knew there were two of them. Oh, and perish the thought of two Jim Callaghans at the same time.

Bent Martin is he in folklore for saving a Johnny Hubbard penalty kick?

I was going to ask if that was the first league game at Ibrox under Souness v Dun Utd. Beautiful day, some wonderful play in the first half and two goals to the good and then it turned to mush.

But I doubt we wore those socks that season.

I had a look on youtube and we were wearing red socks that day.

I was in the Front Govan. As you say a beautiful day. Certainly was a game of two halves.

Second.

We played Falkirk at home in the mid-week before, my first game.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

I had always thought we were the first British side to tour there but Spurs were there on a three game tour in the summer of 1959 beating Torpedo Moscow and Dynamo Kiev before losing the third game to a CCCP select eleven 1-3.

Correct my man. The internet can be very misleading at times.

Could it be the opening game of the season the year before?
We beat United 1-0 at Ibrox.

Johnny Hubbard was well before Bent Martin.

Willie Callaghan - full-back and Captain.

His brother Tommy who signed for the rattlers was a sleekit bastard with a coupon like the map of Ireland.

Could be .My first thought was Tynecastle. Maybe someone could confirm.

I think you are right. John Greig had a cut injury to his chin from around the Sporting Lisbon tie in October 1971 and he did not shave the beard off until after Barcelona. Ball boy wearing a black / dark tracksuit which would also suggest it is Ayr. I remember the defeat at Tynecastle that year which was earlier in the season.

Some excellent detective work there TMC

The game at Somerset was played on 27 November 1971, which fits with previous forensic examination.

Met Jimmy Caskie in the 70's, he owned a Hotel & pub on Scarborough's south bay called 'The Lancaster' Rangers crest proudly displayed on the wall. Total Gent and very proud to be a Ranger.

Was that the game that Willie Henderson scored with a looping cross from virtually the corner flag?

I'm sure he played in the St Johnstone side who papped the yahoos out of the SC at the cesspit before WW2. Nineteen Thirty-six I think.
