Trivia
- MATCH ABANDONED after 70 minutes
- Mr Lewis had no option but to abandon this game. The exit gates had broken down and the crowd poured in.
- They were allowed to form a human touchline for a spell, but even so, they kept encroaching still further and were beginning to turn a little nasty.
- Once again, Ibrox’s reputation as a stager of events took a dip.
- The game had been a good one too, but conditions became impossible and even a little dangerous.
- Within a week, Nick Smith of Rangers had died, aged 31. He and his wife had died of enteric fever in Darvel, Ayrshire. Some elements had previously held a grudge against him as he was the man who crocked Jimmy Quinn in last season’s Glasgow Charity Cup final, BUT no one wishes death on anyone. RIP
