Couldn’t help but chuckle, at Archie’s line “Rangers form getting more headline inches than the Lebanon” … here we are again 40years later and history is repeating itself lol
I believe souness arrival at rangers in 86 was the beginning of the end of what was a great product. It was a slow demise with both celtic and aberdeen still challenging and winning trophies and dundee utd reaching a european final. But within 6 years celtic were in disarray and aberdeen and dundee utd went into a slow decline. The money souness spent bringing half the england side,coupled with the bosman ruling meant nobody could compete once we hit the 90s. Scottish clubs deserted their own talent and bought second rate foreigners. In fact souness would prove to be nothing more than a chequebook manager as he was average at every club after rangers,with walter smith proving to be a better tactical and man manager. Its also a shame that alex ferguson left aberdeen not long after souness arrived as i believe he would have stopped rangers from dominating the 90s.
Loved that season because i was then going every week, home and away. I was 14 and that new found freedom plus the league cup final in the march was amazing.
Yep...Rangers are an absolute shambles and have been under this manager and his two predecessors, especially against Celtic. As you said we were crap back then but we showed fight, heart, desire and commitment in the old firm games and tasted some victories, this Rangers team don't even have the balls to go toe to toe with the rest of the league either. I remember back in 1991 we played you two weeks in a row at Celtic Park, the first game being a Scottish Cup tie on St Patrick's Day and your team were a laughing stock just like my team today and David Murray was showing off buying players left right and centre with the banks money and Celtic could really only afford Paul Elliot but on those one off occasions they gave it everything to beat Rangers and you smashed us 2-0 in the first game and we had three men sent off then you smashed us again the following week 3-0 because your players cared and knew the importance of the fixture.
I would say the current rangers side is worse than this one. I say that cause at least greig and wallaces side had heart with some genuine talent and had to deal with european powerhouses at that time like aberdeen and dundee utd. And celtic had an excellent side also. I know this was a difficult time for rangers but the 80s was the last great decade in scotlands top flight. Interesting fact btw,celtic,aberdeen,rangers and dundee utd had a stranglehold on the trophies at that time,with st mirren the only other club to win a trophy,in 87 against utd in jim macleans jinx cup competition.
Hi, appreciate the feedback and I do agree with the comment about the editing, sadly just don't have enough hours in the day at the moment to get it perfect, so thought it better to post up in it's entirety. I will be uploading similar for every season up to the mid 2000s over the coming weeks, if I have time I will try and trim it a bit better. Cheers.
@@TheRangersArchives Don't worry about the editing mate. Obviously this is from the way it was recorded on the VHS. I'm sure most viewers won't have a problem with the presentation and appreciate your efforts. Not a bluenose myself but always enjoy your content.

Rangers were pretty poor then but always gave Celtic a game. I was going as a teen home and away with celtic and it was affordable too !!
