Worst Rangers [sic]team in history?

Worst Rangers [sic]chief executive in history?

Worst Rangers [sic]fans in history?
Oh, please. They have played their part to perfection.
Worst Rangers [sic]manager in history?
Who, Ally the Great Enabler? No way.
Charles Green would not have any authority at Ibrox if Ally McCoist didn’t act as his enabler last year. While every Celtic fan with a keyboard was typing “Can they really be so stupid again?” Ally was cutting a deal for almost 5% of the share capital of the company [sic]. None of this would be possible without Ally. If you see him, buy him a pie.
The juxtaposition was pointed out to me:
19 years after John Keane stepped forward with an amount of money very precious to him..
With no guarantee it would solve our problems…
Or that he would see a penny of it again (for the record, he hasn’t, and he is unlikely to)…
A very different history played out across the city.
Today’s Herald told us the group trying to overthrow the Sevco board contains Jim McColl and that, “McColl is one of Scotland’s richest people, but he won’t spend his own money”.
The world is full of rich men who will not spend their own money. Long may they squabble over the Ibrox debris.
Our honorary chairman, John Keane, waved to the Celtic Park crowd before letting the league flag fly high, a direct consequence of putting his money where his mouth was.

Was at that one as well.
Point about Glasgow Cup tie was that Celtic fielded a pretty weakened team and as a centre half, Connolly gave a ninety minute master class.
My own highlight of 69 final was Stevie Chalmers’ goal.
Dynamo Kiev away 68: think we won either 1-0 or 2-1 Buzz bomb scored & Bobby Murdoch’s was sent off early on.

Milan 1970 .
Milan in 1970 was a a political hotbed . Strikes , sit ins , industrial sabotage , violent demonstrations, political assassinations etc . .
Night before the final , I went to a party in an anarchist squat . . Lots of talk re killing the Man and Smashing the State . Remember thinking these guys and gals really mean this . The soon come Years of Lead provided the proof

One of these days you are going to say something nice about Celtic, and I’m going to need a sedative ……. It’s a miracle we managed to overcome the corruption through the years, and actually flourish ……. and John Keane is an absolute Saint of a man, an absolute Celtic Legend, who will never be forgotten in the ‘pages’ of Celtic History…..
God bless the Mhan, and God give you at least a small measure of positivity when you are commenting about one of the greatest ‘fans’ EVER to support our beloved Club…
You guys were so lucky. One can only envy being a part of that era.

George Connelly was a beautiful player, his downfall as unexpected as it was sad. I think he made his debut in a 2-0 win at Ibrox- his pass releasing Jinky to set up Wispy for the first goal. Superb passer, fantastic reader of the game and he could get goals from midfield. He was a brilliant midfielder but by the end of 70-1 he had moved back to sweep up beside Big Billy- where he was majestic.
And his goal in the Celtic end in the 69 Cup Final is my favourite goal v them ( sorry Henrik). The unrestrained joy of the ballbhoy as the ball hits the net unforgettable

Ps : sorry but I like to wax lyrical when it comes to the players of that era

The share price is in freefall, he’s back to elevate the value before December, when he hopes to ofload his penny shares.

Re your comments on George C. That’s another drink I owe you on 28/9!
Jimbo
What year was it lads when Sevco pulled out of the Glasgow Cup citing too many games in the season when they were literally scared to play us?
BMCUW
George is my second all-time favourite Celt after Jinky.
Bobby Murdoch is third.
HH!!
Apart from making total clowns of themselves again and filling our lives with mirth,the financial ramifications of the latest debacle should not be overlooked.Two home ties at Asbestox,could have brought them in £1.5 million,then a chance to play us in the final,share of the gate,TV money,you are looking at £2-3 million up the swanee.It really does only get better.Conjecture,I know,but anything is possible with morons like yesterdays ref officiating their games.
Big happenings this month.
noo this is braw! nae smirking noo,ye can see thurs aloto thought pit intae it! Braw!

This is the hard times, we are building up the quality of the squad, and we are re-establishing ourselves as a financial force again. Rangers have winner written all over them but we are in the build up period. The money men know this and want to be in at the start of something big. Think of it this way; if Rangers were a lost cause the money men would be running away from it, but they are fighting tooth and nail to be part of it, every dirty and underhand trick appears to be being used to get on that board because this club equals money, winners, power and prestige for those in the board when Rangers come back with a vengeance. They know that is only a matter of time.
So, we lost. Our sticking plaster third division team were no match for Forfar. None of our recent signings were playing and the team out today will not be the Rangers of this year. We have to wait until September before the real first team shows up, then we can see how teams like Forfar stack up against us. Roll on September.
Today was a bad day but better is to come, they train with us, they wear our shirt, they just wait until September so the can play for us and show what the real Rangers first team can do in the full blood and thunder of competitive football. We have things to look forward to on the field; lets go and enjoy it when it comes right.
The lean Green talking machine is back, so hang on to your hat time. We will see the board once again fighting like cats in a sack and it will be unbecoming to our club but that is unfortunately where we are at the moment. I think the reasons for this are because they all want to position themselves in positions of power for when the club truly takes off they can then bask in reflected glory. Do not be mistaken Rangers will spark and get back to where they were in Scotland and in Europe and they know the tipping point will come with in the next 18 months. I believe that we may have almost perpetual boardroom fighting until the biggest crocodiles have killed off their competition.
We have always been here; we are the power that drives Rangers forward, the money that goes from your pocket into Rangers will continue to push Rangers forward. We will have our money men who will take from the club but the revenues that will come in will propel the club upwards. We the fans are the true unstoppable force behind Rangers and next month we will see our true first team for the first time this season. Roll on Law and Daly creating havoc in the oppositions defence

Suggestions for the venue will be more than welcome,and your company will be an added pleasure.
Always nice to have another person along to help me piece together the previous day’s events!
After losing yesterday, Elfsborg are now joint 6th in the League, 9 points behind leaders Helsingborg who have a game in hand.

Nicked the ball off the midden Greig and rolled it into the net, great day great memories,
was suffering from a mega hangover, certainly cleared the head.
Hail! Hail!
One of the mistakes big Jock made in Milan was dropping George Connelly for the final.
In the 1969 cup final he was 20 years old – but played, and scored, like a veteran.
A wonderful talent.

Seem to remember we played Dynamo Kiev in September ’67 in the first round of the European Cup, as holders Celtic should have had a bye, but correct me if I’m wrong some other team pulled out for whatever reason so Celtic had to play. Lost 1-0 at CP and drew
1-1 in Russia. Big well organised team as I remember.
I was at that game and there was a sense of shock at going out 1st round after the euphoria of Lisbon. Don’t know if it was overconfidence or what..

That was 67-8 . We beat Clyde 8-0 (7 up by h-t) whilst Rangers could only draw 3-3 with Morton and thereby give us the lead in the league race with 2 games to go. A very happy breakfast in my hoose I recall

just reading the milan stories
brings back great memories apart from the score
my mate and i were on a plane full of steel erectors who
were building the erskine bridge at the time
*I went over with the OK CSC 35 quid for bus tae Abbotsinch Airport (as it was called at the time), flight, connection in Milan and ticket.
This was before Scots travelled at lot tae Europe, since I had emigrated and returned hame I was the only one on the plane with a passport, the rest had visas.
Carry outs were opened on taking off, the flight attendant eventually got tae ore seat, there were 3 of us, I asked for 18 vans of beer, when she questioned that I replied 6 each as we’ll probably no see you again.
One punter wanted tae know if we could have his windae open tae hang his scarf out while another came roon with a hat for the driver (pilot)
Apart fae the result it was a great day oot.
Although Milan got the final Rome was also in the bidding for it, personally I was hoping for Rome as the ould song we sang was “the famous Glasgow Celtic took a holiday tae Rome tae see Pope (fill in the blank here) and what did he say….Hail Hail etc),
Unfortunately Milan was the host city and it was a shambles, nae programmes, poor set up etc, I believe it was years before they got another final in any European competition.
I have a 2cd soundtrack of the Dylan movie ‘I’m not there’ and would like to give it to a Dylan fan. There seem to be plenty on CQN. Let me know and it is yours for free.

I mind my dad was a touch fragile on the Sunday- but was not given a hard time !

Glendalystonsils likes a mr whippy with his lime green jelly
I was there too, just one of those nights, totally gutted.
And the good nae great news is (IMHO) the mob over at the hate factory cant afford to sack the fool that is “Greigs on legs”.
I think Dave King is their only option :)) how good a thought is that, but I think chuckles, Ahmed, Stockbridge and a few others have too tight a grip for anyone to do anything.
I always thought after Chuck & the spivs shafted CW that they would make quick money and leave, now I think Walter & co are terrified they will go down the CW plan route and bleed them for millions for 20 years then renegociate the price the deluded have to pay, I am starting to like Chuck more by the day(only in his dealings at the hate factory)

Did you write that yourself,or did you get AWE NAW to do it for you?
That is brilliant,wi followers-sheep-like that,they can confidently expect to be fleeced on a regular basis.
Ye’ve goat tae larf….
When rhey pulled out of thegame, citing fixture congestion, we rechristened them R……FTP, i.e., Feart to Play.
After hosting the final in 1970, the San Siro was not chosen to host the final again until 2001.
It has been the venue three times – 1965, 1970 and 2001.

Yes we were lucky. However, it is worth remembering that many of us suffered the ‘Seven Lean Years’ and much more.
I have said it before. We were big Jock’s weans and he spoiled us rotten.
the 1967/68 European cup , did indeed get a bye, only for uefa to ban the Albanian champions, canny remember the exact circumstances some sort of civil unrest I think,

Thanks Jimbo.
Although I was young,the era through the nine in a row period was truly brilliant.The Huns were utterly sickened.When they won,sorry stole,the nine titles I honestly thought we would never recover.Harald Brattbakk,for all the stick he took,will always have a place in my heart for that clincher and stopping the ten.
Never forget that it was May 67 that sowed the seeds of what we are now seeing at Ibrox.

After all these years that explains why I never got a program in Milan
Only 22 clubs have ever won the Big Cup, out of thousands(?) of clubs throughout Europe.
We are one of them.
Idea for a new pan-European league for next season – a league comprising these 22 clubs!
Cheerio Scotland – GIRFUY!

They were great days – as Quonno put it Big Jock spoiled us rotten. The St Johnstone day all those years later was not a bad one! Few goals can have sparked such wild celebrations as Haraald’s that day- tears of joy were shed

Albania 1967 .
The lulus that ran Albania officially banned all religion.
Churches / mosques / synagogues were closed .
Clerics of all faiths were rounded up / imprisoned / sent to labor camps, and, in many cases , executed.
Who’s this Dylan guy you all like? ;)
