Some more pictures of the Rangers v Bayern Munich April 1972 European Cup Winners Cup Semi Final Second Leg.
Boyne: My old man always rated it as the best atmosphere he’d ever experienced at Ibrox.
The crowd was officially given as 80,000. My old mam always reckoned there were 110,000 plus,inside Ibrox that night.

The ground level and offices of the Main Stand at Ibrox. The old Main Stand is still standing behind it. Photo taken in 1927 I think.

Pre season friendly match.
European Cup First Round.Second Leg at Ibrox. Sept 1987. Rangers 2-0 Kiev. Rangers won 2-1 on aggregate.
The night Graeme Souness narrowed the Ibrox pitch touch lines, to prevent Kiev using their pace out wide.
And following a 1-0 defeat in the first leg in Ukraine, Souness tricked his rivals by NARROWING the pitch. During their customary training session on the eve of the match, Souness spotted the amount of balls being sprayed out wide and wanted to contain the threat of the legendary Oleg Blokhin.
Ally McCoist, who scored along with Mark Falco in the famous 2-0 win at Ibrox that sealed an aggregate win, said of the sneaky move: "The night before the game Graeme brought the pitch in five metres either side. Made the pitch really narrow so our full-backs could get a kick at Blokhin. They were absolutely raging… I can remember (the manager’s) interview after the game, he was absolutely livid. Genius from Souness."

Today is the fourth anniversary of the passing of Tom Forsyth. A great player for Rangers and Scotland. So many great moments in his career. Two of those were scoring the winning goal for Rangers in the 1973 Scottish Cup Final and the tackle of Mick Channon at Hampden Park in 1976 when Scotland played England.
