History of Rangers FC

    Rangers 0 Hibs 0 1950


    Zitat von Mr.Struth

    A title decider, The Rangers Iron curtain v the Hibs famous five ... the score was 0-0 Rangers drew the following week to clinch the league title once? more !! Crowd was given at 101, 000 though the amount of kids lifed over in those days would suggest the exact figure would have been far higher.

    Nicht meins, das wurde von FF gediebt. Ich habe glaube ich noch irgendwo eines von BFC gegen Aberdeen, müßte aber tief graben.

    A bit of history which was never counted.



    All in all Rangers won 25 out of the 34 domestic trophies up for grabs in the WW2 and they came about as follows:


    1939-40 - Regional League Western Division.
    Scottish Emergency War Cup. - Dundee Utd were beaten 1-0 in the final attended by 90,000.
    Glasgow Cup - Queens Park were defeated in the final by three goals to one.
    Charity Cup - Rangers won this 7-2 on corners after a 1-1 draw against Clyde.
    The semi final at Ibrox saw a delightful 5-1 demolition job of Celtic. A Grand Slam of minor proportions.


    1940-41 - Southern League
    Southern League Cup - Two matches were required to defeat Hearts at the final stage. A 4-2 win in the replay after a 1-1 draw.
    Charity Cup - Three nil v Thistle
    Two Cups were lost at the final stage this season. The Glasgow Cup to Celtic at Ibrox 1-0 and in the Summer Cup Hibs pipped the light blues 3-2 in the final. The quarter final home leg produced a staggering 5-5 draw against Hamilton after a 3-1 win in the first leg.


    1941-42 this was another lesser Grand Slam season of sorts - Southern League; although it did include a severe 8-1 drubbing at Easter Road
    Glasgow Cup - Clyde were thrashed 6-0 in the final after the team had defeated Celtic by the odd goal in five in the semi.
    Southern League Cup - Twenty years after their last final encounter, Morton stood between Rangers and a trophy and a Gillick goal was all that separated the sides.
    Charity Cup - Clyde again were the final opponents and it was won by a much tighter margin of 3-1.
    Summer Cup - A revenge of sorts was taken on Hibs but only by the toss of the coin after the match finished all square on goals (0-0) and corners (2-2) Not the best way to win I suppose.



    1942-43 - Southern League, including a rather jolly 8-1 Ne'erday battering of Celtic.
    Glasgow Cup - Thirds beaten in the final 5-2.
    Southern League Cup - won 11-3 on corners against Falkirk after a 1-1 draw during the match.
    The Charity Cup was lost at the first hurdle with Clyde exacting a wee bit of revenge for the previous season, winning 2-1 at Ibrox.
    The Summer Cup saw St Mirren heading off into the Paisley sunset with the trophy, beating Rangers 1-0 in the final. In the Q/F 1st leg Rangers won 4-1 at CP and the second leg saw another emphatic Rangers victory, this time by four goals to nil. So that was two 8-1 victories over Celtic in the same season. Which is nice; nice, nice, nice.



    1943-44 - Southern League
    Both the Glasgow and Charity Cups were won and both finals were against Clyde by margins of 2-0 and 2-1 respectively.
    Hibs beat Rangers in the Summer Cup final by six corners to five after a 0-0 draw before 63,000. There were 90,000 at the Old Firm semi final when Rangers beat Celtic 4-2.


    1944-45 - Southern League
    Southern League Cup. Motherwell were beaten by the odd goal in three in the final in front of 70,000. There was a pretty astonishing 87,000 against Queens Park in the previous round. No doubt Celtic apologists will be telling us that Bill Struth got the entire Rangers support, jobs in the shipyards, too.
    Both the Glasgow and Charity Cups were retained and this time Celtic were the final protagonists on both occasions. So another lesser Grand Slam had been achieved.



    1945-46 this was something of a mixed bag of a season. The Southern League was won and so too was the Charity Cup. A Thornton brace against Third Lanark bringing home the bacon.
    Clyde beat Rangers in the Glasgow Cup at the semi final stage by four goals to three. Aberdeen then defeated Rangers 3-2 in the Southern League Cup final before 135,000 at Hampden to record their first national trophy.
    The SFA then asked that the cup be returned so that it could be competed for as the last trophy of the wartime era; The Victory Cup. There were 61,000 at Ibrox to see Falkirk in the Q/F 2nd leg. Then 90,000 rolled up to watch a 0-0 Old Firm semi final draw and 50,000 turned up for the 2-0 replay stroll. Hibs who were by now far and away Rangers strongest challengers domestically awaited in the final and 100,000 witnessed a 3-1 Rangers win. The trophy is still in the Ibrox trophy room to this day.

    In diesem Zusammenhang fällt mir gerade auf, daß Deutsche Vereine augenscheinlich keinerlei Probleme damit haben, ihre sportlichen Erfolge während der Zeit von 1933 bis 1945 ganz normal zu werten und aufzuführen. Beispiel Schalke 04

    Ist aber in allen Fußballbüchern und Webseiten so, die mir untergekommen sind. Titel während des Krieges waren dann eben 'Kriegsmeisterschaften', aber sonst gibt's da sonst keine Abgrenzungen. Ist beim Dresdner SC nicht anders.


    Nur bei Olympia 1936 wird immer auf den speziellen Hintergrund verwiesen ..



    edit: die im Fanshop angepriesenen Fanartikel sind in diesem Zusammenhang auch nicht ohne, so diese Fahne

    Was Lord Nimmo sagte:


    RANGERS FC 1872.


    Rangers FC by "THE RT HON LORD NIMMO SMITH"


    It will be recalled that in Article 2 "Club" is defined in terms of "the undertaking of an association football club", and in Rule I1 it is defined in terms of an association football club which is, for the time being, eligible to participate in the League, and includes the owner and operator of such Club. Taking these definitions together, the SPL and its members have provided, by contract, that a Club is an undertaking which is capable of being owned and operated. While it no doubt depends on individual circumstances what exactly is comprised in the undertaking of any particular Club, it would at the least comprise its name, the contracts with its players, its manager and other staff, and its ground, even though these may change from time to time.
    In common speech a Club is treated as a recognisable entity which is capable of being owned and operated, and which continues in existence despite its transfer to another owner and operator. In legal terms, it appears to us to be no different from any other undertaking which is capable of being carried on, bought and sold. This is not to say that a Club has legal personality, separate from and additional to the legal personality of its owner and operator. We are satisfied that it does not, and Mr McKenzie did not seek to argue otherwise.
