1959 - Red Star Bratislava 1 Rangers 1 (Scott) - European Champions' Cup 2nd Round 2nd Leg (60,000)
A superb defensive display from Rangers kept Red Star at bay until the final minute of the game,but by then Alex Scott had already scored to ensure their progress into the next round.Jimmy Millar got himself sent off eight minutes from time for punching an opponent,although he was only to miss the next game in the competition.
1961 - Rangers 4 (Millar 3,Wilson) Falkirk 0 - Scottish League Division One (35,000)
1964 - Rangers 1 (Wilson) Rapid Vienna 0 - European Champions' Cup 2nd Round 1st Leg (50,788)
Although it was not the first time that a Contenental side had arrived at Ibrox with little thought other than to prevent the home side from scoring,Rangers still needed to learn to be patient,to continue probing,looking for gaps and taking each and every chance that presented itself.Against Rapid Vienna there was only one such chance,created by Jim Baxter and seized by Davie Wilson in the 55th minute.A single goal was not much to take into the second leg,but Rapid would be forced to come out at Rangers at home,thus giving Rangers the chance to score on the break.

2017 - another Murty masterclass at Ibrox. An utterly miserable day. Sitting freezing my bollocks off watching us getting turned over by a pub team, knowing we were going absolutely nowhere as a club.

Everything seemed to go downhill from that day.

A few weeks later, we lost at home to St.Johnstone. Their first league win at Ibrox in 46 years.

Which if I remember right was just a few days after winning at Easter Road.

Our form at times last season was just bizarre.

2000 Hard to believe how quickly things fell apart under Advocaat. A few months before we had won the title by over 20 points and had our Orange cup final party. No doubt more to it than just 2 summer signings, but the arrivals of Konterman and Ricksen seemed to totally imbalance our team and create an unhappy dressing room.

1972 - I was stood on the big terracing opposite the stand at Easter Road that day. Graham Fyffe scored our winner from about 35 yards out with a magnificent lob. One of those you watch, thinking "this looks interesting" and it seeming like slow motion as it bounces behind the goalie and into the net. I have never seen a higher lobbed goal to this day.

2017 - I remember Ross McCrorie's passback straight to David Templeton for Accies opener. I think that was the Accies first league victory at Ibrox in over 100 years.
