Last time we didn't beat them that season.

2-1 at Ibrox Jan 1985
Was probably at that, but don't remember it.
Standard of football ? :hmmm:
Ridiculously scrappy.
I was at the reserve gemme at Easter Road. It was a 2pm ko, fired back to my Grandad's to listen to the second half from Ibrox on the wireless. Mind going daft when Harris scored the winner, and couldnae wait to watch the highlights on Sportscene that night! Think that win sparked the run which saw us fight clear of relegation.
Why was Ibrox so empty during that era
Also watched the sellik v huns game after it, just how good was Davy Cooper...
Crowds in general were at their lowest in the late 70s/early 80s.
Add to that the fact that Rangers were utter rubbish (John Grieg era) and it resulted in them playing in front of about 14k home attendances.
The era of playing in front of near full houses every week was still a few years away (a combination of the arrival of Souness and the advent of clubs selling massive numbers of Season Tickets)
That was the game at Easter Road.
Kano scored the winner at Ibrox in the last game of the season. The crowd's recorded on wiki as just over 7k.
It's amazing that we had such a decent record against them that season yet we were nearly relegated.
Colin Harris came off the bench at Ibrox to repeat the dose in a 2-1 victory in the week before the 0-3 loss to Aberdeen in the League Cup Final in October 1985
