Telling the Glasgow Rangers Story 1 day at a time. On top of my "on this day" posts there will also be some random historical articles from time to time and some comment on current affairs. If anyone requires further info on any matches featured then leave a comment on the blog, send me a tweet or fire an email and I'll see what I can gather. For the vast majority of matches I have line-ups for both teams, venues, attendances, bookings and sending offs, referees, goalscorers and goal times, too much for me to post for each individual match.
