In memory of Ray, I have to post this video. One of his greatest goals and one of the finest ever seen at Ibrox. Nearly 35 years ago. Where have the years gone.

Remember this goal like it was yesterday!

I was in the lower section Copland Road Stand and almost in line with the great man. So had a fantastic view when he struck the shot !!

 
That disallowed goal is an absolute joke, this ref is a piss take.

I missed the game. Also missed the Chelsea match. Crap weekend for football. I've read about the disallowed goal. An absolute joke. Rangers have written to the SFA. Hopefully will get a response but can't see it. Sadly the league title will go to Celtic. Here's to the Scottish Cup semi-final on 30 April.

 
Bit off subject but Ally McCoist's 11 made up of those he played with at Rangers. Has included himself and can't argue with that. Some great players. I would have Ian Ferguson in the 11 but then who is left out.

Missed the game but from I've read a soft goal they gave away. Why can't players play to the whistle and Sakala missed a sitter. Looks like there will be lots of changes in the summer. Been an awful season for Chelsea and Rangers.

One of my cousins was at the game and it's his birthday today. That's his birthday ruined.

It's been grim - hoping for better times next season, hope you're keeping the faith through it all!

 
Years ago I used to think Rangers and Celtic were deliberately kept apart until the final . They seemed to play each other in finals a lot ?

Was that the case or did I imagine it ?

Yes, it's been grim. Here's to better times next season. Yes, keeping the faith. Hope you are as well. Can't give up supporting Chelsea and Rangers. In the blood and as they say: We Are The People.

It used to be the joke that the Rangers and Celtic balls in the draw bag were warm so those doing the draw knew how to keep them about.

I was at the Scottish Cup Final in 1989. Unfortunately Celtic won 1-0. Ray Wilkins was due to play in the game but was injured.

Yeah the " warm balls" I had heard about before.😙

Ray was liked by everyone he played for , I heard he got a great send off in his last game for Rangers. He's sadly missed , a great player and a special human being . RIP

Edit

Just watched his send off after the game v Dunfirmline.

Very very emotional

Agree, liked by everyone he played for. Even though he was at Rangers for a couple of years was greatly admired by the fans. His goal against Celtic on 1988 is one of the best ever at Ibrox. When he played at Hibs for a short while towards the end of his career he was given a great reception.

One of the guys I go to the games with met Ray in one of the pubs near the Bridge about a week before Ray passed away and had a good chat with my friend.

They didn’t play against each other in a Scottish Cup Final from 1928 until 1963.! They then played against each other in 1966, 69,71, 73, 77 and 1980.
However Scottish Cup Finals usually had huge crowds most years from the early 1920s until the mid 1970s.

Thanks for info. I've got an old  Rangers book , I thought that when I first read it they seemed to play in finals against each other throughout history! Probably one of the two  reached the final most years ?

Mind you , seems they put it right from 1966 !
