There's an amazing Twitter/Instagram account that posts goals from our past on their anniversary. Gonna start linking a few below because it cheers me up every morning when I see it appear on my feed.
Vintage Wegerle to start us off with...

I've been following it for a while. Either they're very selective with their highlights,or we used to win a lot more than we lost. Seriously though, it's excellent and well worth a follow | | | |

Love the goal celebrations, quick arm raised, handshake or slap on the back, then jog back to the halfway line.
Marvellous, jumpers for goalposts, oranges...... | | | |

Look at Super Ray there when Wegs penalty was saved. Everyone else moping around or celebrating - he's legging it to take a quick corner whilst they are distracted.
What a player and all-round pro. | | | |

This is one of my favourite ever awaydays.
Like many, I enjoyed those League One trips - new grounds (or ones not visited in a long time), terraces, being seen as a big scalp etc - but specifically, this was my then 7 year old eldest's first away match.
Living in Notts, no long drive to crush the excitement. Plenty of on street parking, then snuck him into a pub full of Rs to give him a taster of what was to come in the years ahead. Chatting to Dave Thomas (AKUTRs) and a few posters from the old .org board who all made a fuss of him.
Then an absolute belter of an end to end game which we deservedly won. Ollie surprised us with a 3-5-2 which worked a treat, and it was one of those very occasional days where Matthew Rose looked like a world beater - shame the footage doesn't show his buccaneering box to box run that led to our third. | |

Yeh I remember getting off the train and the number of police waiting at the station was insane. | | | |

That Wegerle drag back and turn. My word.
We've been blessed with some very skilful players over the years.
Oh and that GK top needs a retro version in the club shop pronto. | |

First win of the season 💪

It's a great account. An early-morning ritual for me, too. | |

Exactly.
I remember turning very very pale upon seeing all those police at Chesterfield station because of what I was carrying in my rucksack.
So I got my mate to cause a distraction. He walked across towards the policeman pretending to be steaming drunk, jumping around and singing. I played the role of a respectable local citizen disgusted with such conduct, occasionally looking across at him disapprovingly, tutting and shaking my head. The police just let me stroll on through with my contraband smoking materials while he got seriously patted down and made to turn out his pockets.
Then we met up round the corner for a celebratory smoke.
My abiding memory of the actual match was that Shittu header, there was some power on that!
Those were great days to be following the Rs away from home. | | | |

This is one of my favourite Adel goals, that step and then finish is a piece of art
Love this account | |

I got so battered after this game I missed the last tube to my house in Stoke Newington and in my drunken state got the Oxford Tube to my parents' house in Hillingdon and slept on the sofa - which was quite the delight to everyone the next day who mistook me for a burglar. Halcyon days | | | |

Yes, difficult to see how that one actually went in but for our small group we knew this as the ‘Bum of God’ goal. | | | |

More Saltergate memories...another belter the following season, Sunday lunchtime ko, this time we won 4-2.
I think this might have been the day we first sang one of the only truly original Rangers chants:
"Pacquette - his name is Richard Pacquette
He puts the ball in the net
His name is Richard Pacquette" | |

Thanks for that - just started following it on Insta.
Noticed that Ale Faurlin already follows it… could you love that man any more than you do already? [Post edited 16 Dec 2023 21:41]

Michael Telfer and I went to this game on the spur of the moment
Pretty sure we went for a beer the night before with zero intention of going to the game. Next morning he wakes me up from my hangover and says do I want to go. F uck off I say and back to bed.
Half an hour later I change my mind. Meet you at Euston in half an hour. Easy from the Bush. Just chuck on last nights clothes, tube it.
Get to Euston and but a CHEAP DAY RETURN to Manchester. Get a couple of beers. I’m in Manchester by midday. I was in bed at 9am.
Pay to get in at Maine Road. I’d say two hundred Rangers max, a LSa coach was f ucked on the way up.
We’re shite in the first half , two down and I’m listening to my Walkman ( guess Who).
Second half, it’s almost Rangers. Wegerle does what Wegerle does, see above, we get a last minute penalty! Come on! Rangers do what Rangers do and keeper saves it. Chuck my Walkman into pieces.
Resulting corner comes in and it’s nutted in by McDonald via Wegerle ! F uck me this is the day of days! Come on you decking Rs!?
Train , beers and happy back to Euston and into West Hampstead for a night cap. Cab back home.
I’m didn’t break the bank. It was normal. | | | |

Great Rangers performance.
Horrible f ucking police w ankers at the train station. And locals.
After Stoke on Trent , the biggest sh ithile I’ve been too.
F uck em. | | | |
